Integrity is knowing when you're right, wrong, and responsible. It's knowing when you've gone too far or you haven't gone far enough. It's realizing that you shouldn't judge the world by your morals, but instead help others attain them.
And you can quote me on that.
Why is it important? I hate that question. If someone honestly needs to know the simple, short answer to it, then he or she needs to jump off a building. For the details I'll tell you this: without integrity, you'd only have anarchy. And just because I enjoy Disturbed and Atreyu doesn't mean that I enjoy anarchy. Although, neither one of them preaches anarchy, and I believe Disturbed actually sings about changing the world for the better. Listen to Land of Confusion. Great song.
Integrity in daily life you ask? Well, I make it a practice not to tell lies to all and sundry - and I admit to lying occasionally (That t'would be the responsibility portion of the definition). I try to set a pretty good example for my nieces and nephew as well as anyone else who needs a strong kick in the morals department. I always try not to check myself before I go too far over say, a rule or someone else's personal tastes. I don't drop f-bombs around people who dislike cursing.
And please don't take my tone wrong or anything, it's just that I get to being bored with answering questions like these with very proper "Integrity is important because . . ." kinds of answers. I figure that if I must give you an answer, then I'm going to make sure it makes an impact. There is no disrespect meant with any of what I say here.
I guess that is another part of integrity, knowing when your words could be taken the wrong way.

So yesssssssssss.
Heeee, Transformers reference.
Anywho, I'm a little all over the place right now because I'm a bit tired and I've got lots to do. I have another hour and a half to two hours of practice (Music students must be allowed their eccentricities) plus Music Theory (joy!).
On a much lighter - and nonschool related - subject, I've finally gotten my next template for my pixel avatar hobby done! I can't wait to get started on Rafe. (Rafe's the name of the character that the template features) I might also go ahead and digitally color him, but I don't like the way I did his nose.
Actually, I sort of forgot it. I just did my generic little line.
By the way, the pixel I use as my avatar here on Blogger is actually the one I did of Alexandria, Rafe's girl. Back to him, I also drew him with a rose in his mouth since he's infamous for giving out roses. (*laugh*)
Anywho, off to Blackman! YAY~!
