 I so much appreciate integrity and honesty in people. It shines through more than most realize, as does the opposite. 
 always thought this was a good jon snow line:

“when enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything. then there are no more answers, only better and better lies.” 
 Those should be part of the “human standard”, but they are becoming harder to find :| 
 Facts!  
 Who are you thinking of when you say this? 
 Living you life honest in every aspect of life is the standard. I manage to have this integrity in the connection with other people. What I find hard, is to be honest about the difficult circumstances I my self are in. I always think there is hope, in every relationship and situation. I give people around me new chances to do good. 
So many times this has hurt me... And I lie to myself, and say things are better than they are. But it is a blessing when people change their ways. 
The difficult part is to be honest with myself, when the truth hurts!
