“Integrity has no need of rules”
— Albert Camus
Simplified Meaning:
When someone has integrity, they naturally do the right thing without needing strict rules to guide them. Think about a person who always tells the truth, even when no one is watching. This person doesn’t need rules telling them to be honest because being truthful is already a part of who they are. Imagine a worker who always puts in their best effort, whether the boss is around or not. They don’t need constant supervision or a list of rules saying they should work hard, because they take pride in their job and their inner principles guide them to do their best. Living with integrity means you follow your moral values and make good choices because it's important to you, not just because there are rules. In everyday life, this can mean being fair in dealings with others, returning lost items, or standing up for what’s right even when it’s difficult. By living this way, you create trust and respect, and people know they can rely on you.
