How can you teach integrity to:
A) A child?
B) A mature adult?
C) An immature adult?

@jurban , live it, demonstrate it? Not sure exactly which perspective or aspect you're thinking about. Ex: It's a core corporate pillar at work, is listed as a metric in my annual job performance review. What they're looking for is not having to stand over my shoulder to make sure I show up, do my work, don't talk about what I see, only look at what documents my job requires, etc. So, there's an accountability to others that "teaches" integrity to those that don't do the "right" thing. 🤔

So, Trust is built by Integrity?
Can you still trust a person who is without integrity?

@Lindy @LadyZurk

Can a society trust a leader who is without Integrity?

Can a leader lead a society that lacks integrity?

@jurban @LadyZurk first question: no second question, sometimes.

@Lindy @LadyZurk
I'm surprised you answered "no" on the first question.
IMO, Trump lacked integrity. He's an overt liar. But a vast portion (almost 1/2) of the society voted for him. They constructed a sufficient belief system to look past his lies and lack of integrity in order to follow and support him.

Am I thinking this through correctly?

@jurban , I'm getting tagged in all sorts of stuff here. I essentially said do it, show it, learn it if one didn't already have it. I'll stand by My words, wrong, right or neutral. I have taken this as a learning experience, but perhaps not the one you intended. 🤔

@Lindy

@jurban I might have missed something. The question I answered: can a society trust a leader without integrity, I was looking at from a practical standpoint. Perhaps I read it "SHOULD" a society trust...etc. @LadyZurk

@jurban too many variables. I trust x even though I know sometimes they forget to put _whatever_ where it goes. I know Y will do said task, but in their own time, not when they said they would.

@LadyZurk
So, timing is everything?

My point: Assessing integrity is used to determine if someone will act in a trustable manner. They will respect the Means as well as the Ends.

If a drug cartel kills a friend because they, the drug cartel, lack integrity, but eventually come around and recognizes their wrongful action, my friend is still dead. I would have been a fool to assume that they had integrity when they were deciding on killing my friend. (BTW, no friends were harmed :-)
