Integrity is, in my opinion, the most valuable quality someone can have, bar none. In every aspect of our lives.
I think you can never achieve complete integrity, though. To put it in math terms, integrity is a limit function heading towards infinity. You can aim for it, but you will never achieve it fully.
Moreover, there will always be times where you stray from the ideal path. It just isn't possible to be objective all of the time. The key is to surround yourself with people who will push you back on the path in a way that is natural and acceptable for you.
Well said! It is indeed impossible to achieve complete integrity. Everyone, at some point, decides to do something "easy" or approach a "popular" subject in order to get some more attention from others.
That's just how it is. Sometimes we do it intentionally, sometimes without even realizing it. I'm sure I did it many times in the past, not sure how often because I wanted to or because I simply had a random idea.
What I believe is that more people should try to not change the entire content they create and to produce "mediocre" things out of a silly desire to receive more attention.
As an example would be a person who wrote nice and informational articles in the past, and suddenly starts getting naked or showing random parts of his/her body just because that gets him/her more views.
Another one could be a person who does nice and interesting videos on YouTube, gameplays for example, with interesting games and great sense of humor, and suddenly starts playing random crap and yell at everything because people enjoy that and he wants more attention.
That's the type of situation I was referring to in the article, people who change what they do and decrease the quality of their content hoping to get more and more attention, simply because it's an easy way of doing things.
