Integrity from the perspective of wholeness.

Having recently begun to contribute to this blog, I’d like to add my perspective on the meaning of “integrity”. In an earlier post, Paul referred to a meaning which relates to honesty and to adherence to a moral and ethical code or principles; this is generally accepted and commonly applied.

• the quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness

Another online definition, at dictionary.com, agrees and includes:

• the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished
