Integrity is a value, or a set of values, which can define the behavior of a human being and serve as an example for others. It should be present, be visible, remembered, read or interpreted in the largest number of Urbes in the world, where they live, work and pass people, in villages, towns or cities. I dreamed tonight (March 3, 2025) how interesting it would be to give the street name of integrity to a place where a scenario was artistically expressed a continuum of homes facades with transparent doors and windows, as transparency is intrinsically associated with integrity. 24 doors, 24 homes in a figurative sense, and integrity is something that must be immanent to human being 24 hours a day, without interruptions or faintness.
Rua da Integrity can be a land support wall, because it [a integridade] It is also a support and a basic characteristic of the character of the human being. It can be on the outer wall of a garden, a playground, it can be where the mayor wants and the population support. On each door [dessa rua]can appear every trait that distinguishes integrity, name of home [Villa Transparente]or a small poem in the form of a court or not [sobre a honestidade, a rectidão, por exemplo]. At the beginning and end, toponymic plates should be fixed with the name of Rua da Integrity, in the middle, perhaps, a sculptural piece. Here I leave this idea, open to other contributions, for those who have talent and know how to express it artistically on paper, on the screen, on the stone, giving it a project form, made available to all the municipalities that want to enjoy. It is a work that calls architects, designers, designers, and other creative and thinkers in general who want to associate Pro bonus In the realization of this idea, born of a dream in any dawn.
Como ele, houve e há outros, cada vez mais raros. Vale a pena lutar para que não se extingam
Integrity is a multifaceted concept that involves coherence between values, actions and beliefs. It concerns the ability of a person to act according to ethical and moral principles. A whole person is one who remains firm in his convictions, not being corrupted by personal interests, external influences or occasional fashions. Integrity is also reflected in the responsibility that each one assumes for their actions, recognizing their mistakes and seeking to repair them when necessary. It serves as a compass, guiding choices and strengthening identity and, thus, is a fundamental pillar for the development of a fairer and more harmonious society, where relationships are based on confidence and mutual respect.
In a world where social pressures and external and material temptations can lead to compliance, assignment and deviation, maintaining integrity is an act of courage and authenticity. One could invoke world personalities that were examples of integrity. Like Mahatma Gandhi, a preacher of nonviolence and truth, who lived according to her principles and inspired millions to fight for justice in a peaceful way. Or Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years in prison, maintaining her convictions and, after her release, promoted national reconciliation. Or invoke Malala Yousafzsai, Pakistani activist for girls’ rights to education, suffering all kinds of attacks on their convictions. In this gallery there is a place Martin Luther King Jr., a symbol of struggle for human dignity and racial equality. Or Mother Teresa, this humanitarian worker who dedicated her life to the poor and sick without seeking personal recognition. But why seek headlights of integrity on other stops, when I was fortunate to be born the son of a father who was the greatest example he could have from a human being with ethical principles and values.
Truth, sincerity, honesty, responsibility, transparency, compassion, humility, solidarity, friendship, probity, comprisure, justice, trust, sense of community service. The list of adjectives that could be attributed to it is long. Who? José! José Viegas Bota. Name of the street where I live. Like him, there were and there are others, increasingly rare. It is worth fighting so that they do not extinguish.
