Does integrity still exist?

[Widgeon 0]

After a recent experience, I wonder what kind of people still have it. It just doesn't seem to matter when it comes to certain issues.

Yes, it does. I'm fortunate to have many people in my life who have it. Or, perhaps it's because I've chosen to surround myself with people who have it.

Strangely enough, the most principled people with true integrity I’ve met anywhere are lawyers who treat their profession with reverance. They live by their creed more closely than many medical doctors and business people who I’ve known, and their word is iron-clad even when it disadvantages them. Not enough of ‘em to go around, admittedly, but I like having them in my circle.

And that ain't no accident. Or, as I've said to a few of my friends when the topic comes up and someone says "We're so lucky to have met," my reply is always that it is no accident. We seek out healthy relationships.

To all my friends - it is no accident that we have found each other and that we are friends.

I could have stopped at the one sentence. Sometimes I am a very windy person.

Purely accidental. You are wierd and smell funny.

Regrettably...No.

My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

I work for a firm that has about 10 like that...and another who probably isn't.

But I worked for one who was stealing, and when I turned him in, there wasn't a lawyer anywhere who wanted to hire me.

So I agree there are some, but I think their distribution probably matches that of the rest of the population.
