What does it mean to live wholeheartedly?

We think of people we know as living wholeheartedly, and most of the time we also assign other virtues to the meaning as someone who is good, upstanding, and a “good” soul. But I have known some scoundrels and miscreants down through the years, people whom I wouldn’t choose to be in association with or out in public with, and some of these characters are living wholeheartedly, too, and they bring character, color, and variety, like it or not, to the human experience. It’s just in our nature for most of us not to think of them in these terms.

I think that it’s interesting that today’s question, because of the site we are on and the good people who frequent it, automatically assign the word, “wholehearted,” as always being wholesome and good.
