CHALLENGES IN MAINTAINING INTEGRITY
IMPERFECTION: As imperfect human, we tend to do what is wrong, so our imperfection is one of the challenges we meet in maintaining our integrity.
PEER PRESSURE: Another challenge is the kind of friends we keep, our friends can either influence us for good or for worse. So when we make friends with the wrong person, we will be tempted to compromise our integrity.
PAIN: This is one of the factors mostly used to make one renounce his integrity, when in severe pain, we will be tempted to renounce our integrity so that we can be relieved of the pain.
