Oh, what a tangled web . . . . If loved ones and others in my offline life knew a fraction of what I've done online, they'd say I have zero morals or integrity. On the flip side, I think that people in my online world would say that I have high morals and integrity. It's all relative to the space I'm occupying.
My wife, kids and associates would for the most part be very surprised and shocked at the personal compromises I've made, the vows I've broken and questionable decisions I've made. Of course, I can rationalize it all for myself. Whether others would agree with those rationalizations is another story. Now, other than my online and related sexual indiscretions go, I feel my integrity is well regarded and is something I am constantly working to uphold.
Over my years here, I have tried to be honest about my intentions and acted by a golden rule of sorts. There have been mistakes made and lessons learned from those mistakes, of course, but overall a sense of integrity has served me well. The last couple years here, I've been 'with' only one other Litster and I'm happy to say that it's worked well for both of us.
It can be a personal struggle at times and in both spaces trying to do the right things and to be true to some principles. It's worth it though in the end.
Eloquently put Abs and i have no doubt like LW a lot can relate to your words.
