Integrity

My mind and heart have been considering the whole issue of integrity quite a bit recently. We all have our ideals for who we want to be in this life and at the same time we still have to survive on this planet. This, for me, is where integrity comes in. Can I be who I truly am while also surviving in a world which is all about power and money? Is it possible for me or indeed all of us to be true to ourselves in a profound and heartfelt way while still having a reasonable standard of living? And maybe one of the hardest questions of all is: would I compromise some part of my integrity to survive? I truly don't know the answer to this and hope that this question will ever be put to the test!
