The Devil Wears Prada at least ten times and every time I come away with something new...
This time it was the rather unhappy interaction that Nate has with Andrea when he overhears her say she's going to Paris.
He talks about integrity--and to tell the truth, I had never seen it in that light.
He says if we are doing something, then we need to own up to what we are doing and make sure that we are in total sync with it. No matter what it is.........but we can't be doing something and then make excuses for it. Because, at all times we have a choice - we can up and out. However if we are in complete sync - physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally, with what we are doing - and mind you we cannot be in sync if we are not honest - that is what integrity is.
Andrea kept making excuses for her crazy hours, fashionable clothes, etc etc as if she was just doing it because she had no choice, and this was not really her...
Nate's take was--if you have taken on something then do it with integrity, otherwise it all comes out as false....and worse, you too come out looking and sounding false....and that can kill - us, our relationships, everything...
