Dictionary.com defines integrity as adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
The antonym or opposite is listed as dishonest.
Sir Winston Churchill once said ~
Every man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles, dangers and pressures -and that is the basis of all human morality.
Often times in life there are opportunities that will present themselves where you can be forced to make a decision to do the unpopular thing or let the situation slide. After all, who is it really hurting. But Sir Issac Newton's third law of physics can be applied to life as well. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
So although keeping one's integrity might mean making the unpopular decision, it is worth it. Trust me, I know. When you get to Heaven you will not be asked how many friends you had but what right you did.
