Live for yourself. If you always conform to others' expectations,
you'll betray yourself. You'll lose your integrity. Integrity isn't
doing what other people say is right; it's doing what you know is
right. Of course, if you know nothing, you can do nothing, and
integrity is impossible for you. So know what you believe; if you
believe nothing, seek something. Find out who you are. Honest
fidelity to your true self is powerful; other standards of conduct
can only create facades.
Integrity is important. I strongly disagree with the many followers of ideas, be them social, political, or religious ideas, who follow blindly without an understanding and belief of their own.
