Thoughts on Integrity

Integrity is the quality of moral strength and consistency. It is a quality of inestimable value. To obtain integrity requires conviction. Doubt and contradiction eat away and waste a person's core; conversely, truth and conviction build integrity that support a conscience through the greatest adversity. I need integrity. Integrity is not directly measurable but must be induced from observable traits over a period of time. Everyone has the ability to strengthen their integrity with self-discipline and a lot of conviction. Integrity cannot be attained by selling what is right for what is pleasant or convenient.
It is impossible to have integrity without being sure of what is morally right. Integrity requires truth because that which isn't true is bound to fail. Conviction is then built upon truth. Doubting the truth allows spiritual turbulence that wears down one's conscience and obscures the benefits of truth.
