"The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. The state of being whole and undivided."
When reflecting on key people in my life who have acted and continue to act without integrity, I understand that their decisions have nothing to do with me and my relevance. Rather, they are choosing to not hold themselves to "consistent moral and ethical standards" because of their unmet needs, desires and/or unresolved wounding. Although it may feel "personal", ultimately, it is not.
