Integrity and Truth. Where are they today?

INTEGRITY is a word seldom used these day which is unfortunate.  Are you finding that what comes out of people's mouth has very little substance?  I am and I deal with the public a lot.  These days people just say what seems right at the time with very little committment or intent when the words are spoken.  WHAT'S with that????
When did it become of such little value in our spoken words?  At what point did it become unimportant to mean what you say and honour your word?
Why do we not respect ourselves and others enough to at least care to the level that they can depend on what comes out of our mouth and know we will back it up with action?
INTEGRITY is about truth, honour and respect combined with humility.
THIS IS WHAT "BUSHIDO" stands for in my world and it is the foundation of what BUSHIDO has to teach and offer.  THIS IS WHAT MAKES THE FOLLOWERS OF THE MARTIAL ARTS a valuable contribution to our society, not their ability to break some's nose.
This is one of the many areas of concern and representations the "BLACKBELT' represents at entry level not 4th, 5th, or 6th degree.
