Day 832 Don't ever stop fighting

The importance of Integrity

Integrity means several things. One of them is to not lie, deceive and abuse. Integrity in many ways is like a torturous challenge. Because this world is not built on Integrity, and to stand as Integrity within it all, means standing alone more often than not. Words can't capture the experience of what is required to walk through it. It is necessary for all of us that those that can walk Integrity do so. It is a light in the dark. And for those walking it, it is a horror movie. 

One of the Greatest solace and place of strength is the body. For it is in and through this body that this self resides. Integrity requires many things including acting immediately and swiftly when you see abuse and deception. Because accepting deception, illusion, or abuse in your life, means you are accepting this world as it is. We have to be in the world but not of the world. We need to strike swiftly when evil actions are done, which must be done without hesitation, and done even when it is your Loved ones, or people you have personal attachments to. Seeing someone behave with evil, with deception, with harm, who a second before was someone special to you, can be difficult to accept or to see. It will drive you mad, if you cannot accept what you have seen with your own eyes. Integrity must transcend personal relationships and connections. Integrity must stand no matter what. 

Being in this world does require being a warrior, one who is strong, if you are to change this world. Or you are otherwise complicit to all that is done. In many ways it requires transcending your personal self and the life you would have liked to have for yourself. Because it simply isn't possible with how the world and people are today. If we are to live Integrity, it may be incompatible with people in your life, people you know, and it may require doing something you wouldn't want to. The fear is want's other brother. Integrity is a fight against all that resist you, and you must be ready to fight, to let go, to change, to act swiftly at the right times and moments. It is funny how its a deception to believe you somehow build courage to face fear, you don't. Instead you are fighting for something, which would be Integrity in this case, that is why you face the fear and do what you don't want to. 

There are those that want to believe this life is meant to be happy right now, or full of fun times, when now is actually the time to care/love through actions, through devoting your life, your time, and your money. Now is the time of sacrifice. Unconditional love is a sacrifice, is work. You won't be receiving the fun times. You are asking to walk through hell for the future of all of us. And even though you won't be walking through paradise, LIFE, the PHYSICAL, will gift you and help you to succeed. You will receive the support you need, as long as you walk it. You are not Alone, you have all of existence in you corner. Yet you will be very much alone amongst the humans and people of this world.

When you act against abuse, spite or evil actions, what's important is that you act and that you try to do something. Its not about success. Its actually impossible to define success really, what would that look like? Miraculously changing how the other person is with their history and years it took to get to that moment for them? People take time to change. So yes it will be ugly and yes they will resist you. What matters is that you acted. The rest of the fallout of what happens is out of your hands. Your choice to act in the moment is in your hands. So just act. If you squawk or squeal, perfect! Then you stumble across your words, that's fine. The point is speaking and doing. That is what means you are standing with Integrity, and you will find the voice and message within all of that. 

So don't ever stop fighting. Keep acting and doing. That is how we change the world, 1+1 moments of actions.
