Someone devoted to his own interests lacks charity, but not integrity. And yes, being whole and undivided is also in reference to the moral quality, not just structural integrity.
- coldtea 5y ago>Someone devoted to his own interests lacks charity, but not integrity. Well, I wasn't talking about some hermit fully devoted to his own self without impact on others. I was talking about someone pursing his own interests ahead of everything else - who would e.g. lie if it benefits him, steel, backstab, and so on. This man might be an "whole and undivided" jerk, but he lacks integrity - that is, an actual good moral character. So, "whole and undivided" is not what people mean when they say "this person has integrity". They mean that he is a "man of his word", has honor, is not two-faced, and so on.
- torstenvl 5y agoI am not going to argue with you. There is a lengthy discussion of the breadth of the word in the Wikipedia article. It does not mean what you think it means. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrity There's a saying: you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink. I can provide you the resources to show you the meaning of the word, but I'm not going to waste my time in any further back-and-forth. Have a good day.
