Integrity (reply)


Can a Dominant without integrity be trusted, never mind respected?

Trusting a person should only be concerned
with honesty . . Realize that a lot of what goes
on in BDSM goes against the moral barriers of
society.
Integrity is eternal and value-based, whereas
honesty is fleeting and often based on rules
and regulations. As a result, one important
distinction between honesty and integrity is
that one cannot have integrity without being
honest . . .

But one can be honest without being
a person with the value of integrity.

    Quoting uncommon1:
    But one can be honest without being
    a person with the value of integrity.
And that's really sad.

People like to think of themselves as honest.
However, dishonesty pays—and it often pays
well. People behave dishonestly enough to
profit, but honestly enough to delude
themselves of their own integrity.

Unfortunately, this is true. I had a conversation where one spoke honestly about their lack of integrity... about some disgraceful acts, one being aware of doing, yet being also aware that they are beyond their control, not knowing why they keep doing them, and most probably will continue to happen.
Honestly saying lack of morals, and integrity will keep them doing what they do.

you aren't what you say you are,
you are what you do.

See synonyms of integrity, you will see honesty.

Yes ron, I understand your
confusion that the two words
are similiar. However they
are different things and that's
why I've explained the differences
for you in my reply.
