On Inspiring Integrity & Celebrating Family

Inspiring Integrity

Integrity is an important thing in our lives because without integrity the world would be filled with sinister scums and thieves who have no sense of what is right or wrong. But with integrity people would be able to live in harmony with one another and the world would be a better place.

George Washington had integrity and his fellow countrymen loved him. Lewis and Clark had integrity and it created the strong bond between them and their men. There are numerous people who reached a certain immortality because of integrity.

To inspire integrity I should first have it myself and show that life changes for the better when you have it. Also, I should show that with integrity you would be happier and other's lives would be much easier, too.

Celebrating Family

Family is one thing all humans have and need. Your family loves, cares and supports you - a fact that some solitary people hate to confront. A person without a family is like a single blade of grass in the middle of a dry field, with no one to support him when he is down, to share his sorrows with and no one to share his joy with.

As a matter of fact, a family does not even have to be only with your true parents. An orphan could be adopted, people join together in groups and form their own families and we all belong in the family of the human race. Race, religions, languages and traditions do not keep people apart - it's the prejudices that do this.

The pilgrims had their families in the "New World" and were able to survive in the wilderness. Pioneers of America had their families and friends who tended to them and kept them company on the vast and lonely plains in harsh conditions. Countless inventors had their families who helped them when they were in need. Today many of us have families that love and care for us and provide food and education for us.

To celebrate family I should start by returning the care and affection they show me, be glad that I have such a wonderful family and treasure it.
