The Pampangans

The look in your eyes, how you act, how you try to help a worker or a classmate. Spreading the kindness you have, almost everywhere. Integrity, whenever I hear this word, it suddenly have an impact on me, thinking about a phase in my life when I was strongly confident with helping someone. Am I that capable just because I did that?

What a word, “Integrity”. Haven’t heard it in a while, but Atty. Jose Isagani M. Gonzales articulate about 5 hallmarks including Integrity and these; Vision, Integrity, Service, Empathy and Courage–significant words that truly brings us crucial definitions, emphasizing the importance of adapting these hallmarks. But one mainly stand out for me, obviously, Integrity. With living our lives, with writing articles, we show the rightfulness of doing each activity. Apparently you caught someone consulting with AI, where is the rightfulness of yours if you’re not being truthful? Sometimes it might be difficult with showing off, regardless, it doesn’t necessarily matters.

Kindness is shown in and out, despite that, you don’t really have to be showy. You follow your heart, doing such things as opening the door for someone, picking up books that have fallen–small things does matters, every small kindness counts. Confronting the wrong doings you have done would probably humble you, integrity is a powerful word, a quality of righteous with a wellbeing. You only must fight for what’s right, don’t ever argue if you’re siding with something awful.

Absorbing these embodied hallmark in our spirits is important, the importance of each trait. We apply these as individuals who have responsibilities and obligations not only in our homes, but in the whole environment. Having a honest and strong morality is a must. Encouraging yourself, a classmate, a friend, to build an integrity relationship. What you do comes from your heart, extending the honesty and love you have. It doesn’t matter if no one sees it, what matter is you honestly did it.

Integrity holds a part of us when no one holds us, it keeps a soul to continuously be in a right path. Whoever you are, whatever your status is, keep the integrity in you. So what if no one notice? You’ll always be the one who sees the morality in you, be the best version of yourself, keep absorbing what’s right. “The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity of the unfaithful will destroy them.” — Proverbs 11:3 (NKJV)
