  4. Hi Shaun,

    Another great collection as always and my favorite topic too… Integrity. Among many of it’s meanings, some implied and some derived, a couple ones that stand out for me are ‘purity’ and ‘morality’. Purity of soul and Morality of character, a combination sadly hard to find in todays world. As I write this, I find myself struggling to live up to it everyday as there is a giant puddle of Malice in some form all around us and we can’t help but either step in it or be splashed on. The only way out for all us is to clean it up and live up to Integirty of humanity! I could write much more on the topic..but it would all sum up in one line … ‘Integrity of soul and strength of character is a Gateway to the Power running this Universe!’

    Thank you Shaun for such inspiring quotes which help us do some soul searching atleast for a while. Keep up the great work!

    Cheers,
    Aartee.

    was the title of a page I wrote that ended paraphrasing Ben Franklin, “I so admire the truly humble that if I were one I’d be so proud.”
