Integrity

May13

Cosmic Connectivity

Integrity is the quality of having
Strong ethical or moral principles. It means
Following them at all times. It’s a positive
Character trait. It is a wholesome way to live.
It would be nice if it were a part of our genes.
It can be nothing but a most wonderful thing.

It is the bedrock upon which good character
Is built, where one understands, accepts, and chooses
To live in accordance with one’s own principles.
Life is made tolerable with loving spoonfuls
Of refreshing integrity. One excuses
Limitations of others as they may occur.

Choose the positive instead of the negative.
To treat others as you would like to be treated
And to take personal responsibility
For your own life experience naturally
Brings about and awareness that’s deeply seated
In the heart of compassion for how others live.

Every act of kindness, love, consideration,
Forgiveness, or compassion affects everyone.
There’s that which leads to truth, love, life, wholeness, and God,
And there’s that which leads to one hell of a façade.
Spiritual discernment is the solution
To the issue of ego wherein there is none.

Virtue

Acceptance Of Grace

Virtue is behavior that displays in someone
A high ethical standard. It’s a quality
Or character trait considered morally good
And desirable in a person, so it should
Come as no surprise that among society
It’s seen as a wholesomely healthy condition.

Virtues are valued as they promote collective
And individual greatness. There are many
Virtues and classifications of them, but they all
Are positive. No kind act is ever too small.
It is taught in some branches of philosophy.
Those who are virtuous have a love perspective.

Virtues are positive actions or traits that aid
In undoing or purifying negative
Karma or sin. They can be practiced outwardly
Or inwardly. One progresses ultimately
To enlightenment. No one tells one how to live,
And the words spoken here are not meant to persuade.

Establishing a higher guiding principle
Or mindset such as right view, right concentration,
Or right mindfulness is the quest of the one who
Seeks the truth of one’s being. Ultimate value
There is in being virtuous. The creation
Of virtue in your life is to all meaningful.
