The webster English dictionary defines integrity as the quality or state of being of sound moral principle,uprightness, honesty and sincerity.
Integrity explained from the root word " integers" meaning the whole, has to do with completeness.
Thus, inferring that, just as partial obedience is no obedience, partial integrity is no integrity. It must be the whole of your life,motives,speech,actions.

Integrity has to do with keeping to standards, it all begins from the mind,it is a product of who truly you are. Integrity is standing out and standing with the truth at all times.
Take note " if you don't stand for something,you will fall for anything"
