INTEGRITY

The hardest people to deal with in life are those who lack integrity. Maybe you or I have even done that a few times unintentionally. It's hard to climb the slippery slope of doing the right thing and being the kind of person we want to and hope to become. Those who act without integrity would justify their actions and say it isn't so. How do we know that we haven't done that ourselves at some point? We love to justify our actions while believing the other person is "bad". There are definitely people who do malicious things and hurt people all the time. They may never change and we can't control their actions, only our own.

When someone tries to bring you down because they think that somehow you owe them something and they do it in the most devious ways imaginable it is hard to know what to do to respond. Do we hold them accountable? Can we? If someone continuously acts irresponsibly can we teach them anything? I don't think so. They have to learn from their own experiences. How many times will they be knocked on their heads before they get the lesson? No one can say.

Sometimes the most goodhearted people get taken advantage of because of their kindness and their willingness to trust. It that happens enough to us our hearts close and we learn to protect ourselves better but at a high price. You might be on the losing end, but if you have done nothing wrong then you haven't really lost. The "winner" in this scenario has a long way to go on their growth journey.
