Answer 1

They grow proportionately more important to me as I discover how important they are to the other. Between the general "others" and a particular other, however, there is a vast chasm that I have yet to cross.

Answer 2

To me they are very important. They should be to all, but too many people are not caring today or are not raised to do so.
If it dose not bother a man to tell lies to those around him, some are not capable of even having integrity in them, they are very sick.
To have the best integrity, practicality, and courtesy one should also stick to reading the Bible and find out what happens to those that don't.

Answer 3

^All the above are very important to me, maybe it was the way I was raised, maybe I just learned my lessons well.

I always try to be polite, courteous etc., what harm does it do to say good morning, how are you, can I help you etc. or hold a door for someone.

I have had my moments when someone is rude to me, and I will usually say if your having a bad day, please don't take it out on me, and it works most of the time and they will apologize to me, sometimes I even get a little smile.Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Poly Anna, I look at it as a challenge.
Sometimes just smiling at someone can make their day, smiling can be catching and it's free.

Answer 4

To me the most important is Integrity.
Honesty is towards people and oneself , a must.
Practically may some times , makes you roughless or inconsiderate to others.
Courtesy is also important , but you can be very courteous , but at the same time a crook .( Intelligent crooks are very often extremely courteous.)

Answer 5

All three are mere words that have direct attachment with 'egos'. None of them instill calm within. So does not matter since there are no twos.

Answer 6

All three entities you have asked about above have increased in importance with each passing year for me personally. For this reason, all three have increased in their RELATIVE value.

Practicality. Without any question the relative value of practicality has increased enormously with time. It is now very important to me that I improve my ability to be practical. I agree that practicality increases the chances of attaining the desired goal rather than allowing it to dissolve in a cloud of impractical wishful thinking. But practicality also makes me think about the means. It makes me consider all aspects of the endeavor so that I ask myself will the means harm the Earth, others, the family, the neighbors even if it achieves its target aim. There can be something very holistic about practicality. It is quite a full-blooded, multi-spectrum term or mode.

In my life I have seen too many dreams - no matter how wonderful - crash and burn or die in frustration. Finally it has become more important to me to see a project through to completion - provided it is worthwhile - rather than watch a grand idea fail to materialize. Even if small, as long as it is worthwhile it is better to see it get accomplished than not. There is a really good residual feeling that accompanies completion or even small successes. You can always build on small successes. It is much harder to build on failures.

Integrity. This is the same as the first. I cannot tell you how much relief I feel when I meet people with integrity. It does something to my heart that is inimitable. It doesn't just warm it. It gives me faith that people can accomplish good or even great things together! It makes me feel I can trust others. It makes the world feel less hostile. Relatively speaking I find integrity to be critical - very, very important. You can depend on people who exhibit integrity. You feel stronger. And if you are doing something with integrity yourself - or if you are demonstrating integrity in your character - you yourself feel good about yourself at a very deep level. You feel connected to the laws of Nature in a significant way. Integrity dissolves guilt. It is a shield against corruption, degradation, carelessness. Once again, with each passing year integrity in self and others is increasing in relative importance for me because it makes for stronger relationships. Integrity is one of the most important ways for leaders to achieve constancy and perseverance. Without it you cannot go the distance. You cannot stand up to harship. You cannot withstand dishonesty and corruption in others. You cannot set an example. Integrity makes character durable. Just recently I have had the chance to work with a creative woman who demonstrates integrity in her field. The relief this brings me is enormous. It also challenges me to keep up my end of the creative partnership. But what she is doing is strengthening my position and my contribution to the partnership. So her integrity is making her dependable. This actually allows me to sleep better at night. Her integrity has a healing effect that is in stark contrast to many other people who surround me. Integrity can take many forms. She has moral and creative integrity which for our project are critical attributes. So I appreciate you asking about this one in particular. You have highlighted my appreciation of this woman.

Courtesy. Again my answer is that the relative value of courtesy in my life has increased with time. Courtesy does not have to be as perfect and consistent as the other two you've mentioned. If you are too courteous you can get a little artificial. But having said that, when courtesy is both sincere and robust, it is a very, very helpful means to get along with others and ensure that what you are doing is taking them into account. I find this to be important more and more because it tends to become habitual and easy. It warms the heart. Everything feels less hostile. It can be quite productive when it is natural. It is excellent practice to keep your mind on how others feel and think about many issues and many realities. But I am finding that people are not being really courteous. It is often just skin-deep. It is just a behavioral veneer. Real courtesy depends on real depth, real powers of observation, real understanding of human nature, and the laws of cause and effect. There is an enormous amount of widespread lack of consideration due to carelessness and lack of insight into what makes the Earth function in a healthy manner and what makes animals and human beings healthy. We can be polite to our neighbor and then go home and turn on a gas barbcue that fills their house with allergens. When we are told that they have two people with allergies we complain bitterly because we feel entitled to our barbecue. Real courtesy has to be deeper than surface gestures. In this case to forfeit the barbecue demontrates genuine courtesy. If I am the one who gets the headaches from your barbecue and you stop the barbecue then my relief and my gratitude is immeasureable. This level of courtesy opens up a whole new dimension to human relationships. It basically makes relationships unlimited, not limited. It opens up both breadth and depth.

Oops. I'm going on a little too long here. But your question is very good.

Anyway, the summary is that these three characteristics have increased in relative importance in my life because they bring both relief and hope into my life. I think they can take you the distance as long as you don't give up.

Thanks for asking.
