Integrity

The most honorable of traits are you

The hardest to see fulfilled

“Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching”

It’s the monkey on the back, the devil angel on one’s shoulder

What is right, that’s culturally subjective, right to one is wrong to another

I know of no villain more pervasive than rightness, no dictator weaker than integrity

It’s the lowest of traits expected in others, as we never know if they answer it’s call

Integrity is an invisible crown, worn by few but claimed by all

In "Abnormal Thoughts"

AbnormalVAverage

J.D Mullenary Sr., a.k.a. AbnormalVAverage, is a teacher and Esports coach based in Texas. He grew up on the beach in California, enjoying its temperate climate and boundless enthusiasm for life. After completing his first degree at nineteen, he felt that he needed to grow up and discover new experiences. With that in mind, he joined the military, earning a second degree in the process, and served for four years. After receiving his honorable discharge, he married the love of his life, helped raise his two sons, and returned to college with a focus on English and teaching. Now, he spends his time writing when he can, teaching students and Esports players the values of critical thinking, while still fostering all of the strays his wife brings to their home.
