Some of the best qualities in a person:

- genuinely happy about other people’s wins
- high agency
- gets excited over little things
- curious not judgmental
- owns their own mistakes & poor choices
- kind to people who can do nothing for them
- authentic even when it’s hard
- does what they say they’re going to do or more
- values how life feels > how life looks
- okay with being disliked

With the increases in health insurance costs lately, probably a lot of people considering this move

The argument that a man should have a free pass to cheat on his wife of 40+ years because she’s aged is gross for a million reasons. But one of the things that bothers me most is that it totally circumvents ownership of the problem.

She could be the most beautiful woman in the world and he still would have cheated. Look at Elizabeth Hurley. Shakira. Halle Berry. Gwen Stefani. Eva Longoria. Sandra Bullock. Gabrielle Union. All stunning women who were famously cheated on.

A cheater cheats for one reason only - they lack the integrity to not cheat.

There is nothing and no one else in the world who can either cause or prevent someone to make that choice. If your integrity is situationally dependent, you are a person of low character.

Normalizing the position that ‘moral & ethical failures should be overlooked if someone is really good at their job or [insert valuable trait here]’ is how you ensure you will live in a low trust society.

Seeing lots of posts excusing Jensen’s behavior. Many calling an affair with a Chinese spy a ‘mistake’.

Having an affair is never just a mistake. It is a character flaw. It requires a total lack of integrity.

Having an affair with a spy when you’re in that type of position indicates an alarming lack of judgment on top of being void of integrity.

Someone who would choose to do this [and yes it is a choice, not a mistake] is simply not capable of being a trustworthy leader.

The old adage exists for a reason:

‘Never do business with a man who cheats on his wife. If he cheats on her, he’ll cheat you too’
