Question.

May 22, 2008 by jesuslovesthechildren

Please answer!

Do you think there is such a thing as having too much integrity? Should you always deal with every situation with radical integrity or should you just let things go sometimes?

I know that you can have too little integrity or none at all. I find it hard to determine individually where the line is between enough and too much integrity. To me, the idea of too much integrity is a perception from the outside.

What do you think?

I don’t think that you can have too much integrity – has to be a good thing right? Integrity is just living by God’s standards, always a plus in life! But, I do think you should be careful on your perception of other people’s integrity. Sometimes we think that other people don’t have enough integrity. 1. But we don’t see how much they have improved, with God’s help. OR 2. We don’t understand the whole situation properly.

I think that dealing with situations with radical integrity is great!

I think you’re overthinking this.

How am I overthinking this when I just asked a question?

Personally I think that integrity is important, not something you can overthink – it is good to do an integrity check! Make sure you are not just doing things without integrity and not processing it!

Sorry Jenn. That was insensitive of me. I commented without thinking. Okay now I feel stupid. Sigh.
