George is…

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Is that all George is? A pirate?
Must we put so much value into our professions?
What else defines us?
Where we come from?
What we want?
What we hope to become?
How we treat others?
George may not have been a very good pirate, but he never cheated at cards.
Nor did he fight dirty. Always a clean, honest fight.
He lost a lot of fights, sure, but he came about it fairly.
“That’s why you’re not a very good pirate,” said the Captain.
George shrugged and smirked.
