What happened to my Integrity?
|
I thought I knew what Integrity was. Boy was I mistaken, big time. Recently I realized that I grew up in a family that wasn’t big on integrity. I’m not ear bashing my folks here instead I’ve observed that all families have integrity issues, whether they be visible or invisible. |
 Dealing with my unanswered e-mails |
For our family it was okay to borrow things and not return them for an eternity.
It was okay for us kids to blame each other in order to get our own way.
It was acceptable to use my mother as an excuse for being late for school or not having our homework done. “Just tell Mrs. Keane that you were helping me and it was MY fault” my mother would say.
Of course she thought she was helping us out and even though it did come from a place of love and protection, it did not bode well when the time came for me to venture out into the big wide world for myself.
I got a rude awakening; not everyone operated at the same level when it came to integrity.
