Those who preserve their integrity remain unshaken by the storms of daily life. They do not stir like leaves on a tree or follow the herd where it runs. In their mind remains the ideal attitude and conduct of living. This is not something given them by others. It is their roots...it is a strength that exists deep within them.

The ideal attitude and conduct of living - that scares a lot of people, mainly because they are aware they are so far from their ideal. Somewhere along the way they chose the path they find themselves on and then seek to rationalize their choice. Constantly finding fault, criticizing the ideal conduct of others, tear down that which they know reflects poorly on them. Those who preserve their integrity, respect the integrity of others!
