Description
The author is discussing the scandals that have been happening in the world recently, and how they are a result of a lack of integrity and wholeness. Many people know what is right, but they choose a more convenient path because they are afraid of the consequences.
The devastating duplicities in business, religion, and politics have less to do with a 'failure of ethics' than with a lack of integrity and wholeness. In their hearts, many who participated in the scandals knew the right thing to do but shrank from it, choosing a more convenient path.
