[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4045955, member: 63706"] I prefer the definiton of integrity of being whole and undivided, as that is the precursor to being honest and moral. A person who is riddled with inner conflict and doubt is more likely to compromise his/her morals. Maslow calls it self-actualization, and it is at the top of his hierarchy of needs. Jesus showed the world how to be actualized, how to be integrated, without worrying about the physical and emotional needs coming first: Matthew 6:25 - 34 [B]"[URL='https://www.christianity.com/bible/bible.php?q=Matthew+6%3A25&ver=niv']25[/URL][/B][URL='https://www.christianity.com/bible/bible.php?q=Matthew+6%3A25&ver=niv'] [/URL] "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear.
