This is some interesting information. And too this is what we should be as a society. Look up the phrase “word of God” in the Bible and you may begin to understand this meaning integrity all the better. Thanks for this positive information for people to see… Have a good evening.

In a way, as I read it somewhere, we have three kinds of identities. The first identity is what other people thought you are. The second is what you are. The third is what you dream you are. That is you have a public identity, a private identity and an ideal identity. When these three identities are close to each other then you have great integrity. When they are not, then you have little integrity.

Many people put out false public identity, a con man. These people say they are not married, or they did something great, or they are someone important, etc. They don on identity to get what they want from the people they don their identity for.

There are many people who have “secret” instead of “private” identity. They pretend to be good and trustworthy to the public but really they are not. People like Savile, Newt and even Prince Harry, tries to persuade people publicly that they are good, that they care, etc; but out of sight they are the opposite.

The ideal identity is the one you want to be. We want to be is a great person, a hero, etc. with all these ideals and virtues. But many people let go of their ideals and loose their way… and loose their dreams.

These three identities are not separate as many believes. There can only be one you. Strive to unify the three parts of your identity. Let it be that how other people see you, what you see in yourself and what you dream to be, be one and the same person: you.

The only thing I would not do from Brett’s list is about being your friend’s vault. Well, I would keep impersonal secrets like passwords or PIN’s but not something personal, things that I should not be hiding if it was me. Things like he is seeing his ex girlfriend, or he is going to prostitutes or he is using drugs, etc. If you do keep them, it’s like you are turning a blind eye. Keeping secrets like these would not help your friend in the long term.

(Benevolence is an act of kindness done because it is the right thing to do. Not due to pity for the person; or doing it because of what you may get out of it. An action done without regard to fulfilling a sense of altruism or public acclaim.
