“A PERSONAL INTEGRITY”

philo2; Reflection: Paper 1

Yes! It is true, we can easily critic other people, we love to point their mistakes but we are sluggish to cast the same critical eye ourselves. Time, space and other resources at our disposal should get better so that it can’t be move violently. All changes begin within us so then society starts to improve.

Living a life of integrity means peeking under the layers to find what is truly there for us deep inside. It’s shedding light on what we may not have seen about ourselves before. Rising to consciousness what has previously been unconscious helps us to make choices because we are now aware. We are in a place of being honest with ourselves.

“Our fridge can be completely clean-looking and, yet, there is an odor. Until we uncover and deal with the odor, our fridge really isn’t clean”. This metaphor sounds familiar to me when I hear it.

It’s that willingness to discover and learn from the ‘odor’ that helps keep our actions and words on track. We need to be honest with ourselves in order to do this. It’s not work for the weak. It definitely takes courage.

I myself admit that I can never be escape from this issue. Though I’m old enough to make my mind up the right choices in this tricky and thorny life, I knew already how to make a distinction from right and wrong. But sometimes I can’t. I need to be honest in order not to hurt somebody and I knew when and where to be use, but traditionally and ideally, it is not good. I can be frank and I can be unhonest.

I courageously look deep inside of myself. I know what’s my capabilities and my limits. What’s the best in me is that I love, believe and accept myself. If I noticed or recognize that this is not meant to me because I never had the capabilities of doing this I let myself resign or quit of it, thus I’m pretty much sure there’s a better person who can do this. Yes! I admit, I let myself to be popular, to be known but I never used my skills and abilities to turn out to be boastful. All I want is to show my talent what God gave to me hence God gave us the talent we must give the effort.

I can forgive myself but it often I can’t in the sense that if it is really my fault for the reason that negligence, inattentive and careless is within me. It can’t be easy to forgive myself until the gash will repair.

Therefore I conclude, the normal ways of transformation is to bravely look deep inside ourselves. Be honest within what we notice. Love and accept ourselves and the people who love and care for you. Learn to forgive others and ourselves too. Know how to embrace the learning that we had with compassion and love. Do not critic others but critic yourself first then it follows the changes of our society.
