There are certain people that put integrity above all other wordly matters. These people cannot be understood by the common penny pincher, or those that place a priority on materialistic fortune.
There is a certain chap who was at one time positioned, through career and synchronicity, to make a vast fortune. All he had to do was sign a couple of documents, make a couple of decisions, and proceed with certain actions.
This chap placed a higher value on his integrity, and intentionally missed his big chance at becoming a very, very rich man.
Certain current cultures would undoubtedly assign to this individual the epiteth of a malaka, a shmuck.
Well, to this individual his integrity was worth much more, than all the cash in the world. You either understand it or you don’t.
And if you don’t, you never will…
