Integrity Bites

Okay, as far as I understand it, the meaning of integrity is basically that words and actions match. So, if I say I'm going to get you that info you need, I actually DO get you the info.

I do my best to be a person of integrity. However, I am beginning to think that there are other meanings that can be applied to the word integrity.

Like, sometimes it seems to mean "to subscribe to a philosophy of having integrity, but actually manipulate facts to meet other goals in one's day to day life".

Or sometimes it means "a philosophy that applies to all people except those in powerful positions".

In other situations it can mean "an organisational policy that entails doing as I say, not as I do - and this includes questioning what I am doing, you peon".

Next time I have a bad day at work, we'll look at the concept of trust.

Until tomorrow then.......
