doing the right thing when the only witness is you and the dark.

means The quality of being honest and morally upright, holding firm to your principles even when no one's checkingand, in a related sense, the state of being whole and undivided.

from From Latin integritas, 'soundness, wholeness,' built on integer, 'untouched, whole, complete' — literally in- ('not') plus a root tied to tangere, 'to touch.' So integer means 'untouched,' unspoiled by tampering. That same integer gives mathematics its whole numbers, and it's why a thing with structural integrity hasn't cracked. The moral sensea person undivided, all of one piece, not corrupted or broken into convenient partsgrew from that idea of wholeness.
