Honor

Honor and dishonor are perceptions that we have about relationships.

Honor has a place in the world. It is an active respect we place
upon something, most often a living being. If you truly honor
someone or something, the show of respect is NEVER
compromised.

The thing that seems to be lacking today is leaders who display
a marked nobility of mind and examples of high character. It is a
little difficult to honor leaders who compromise their integrity for
power. When you find yourself going to many election polls and
voting for the least of two evils, it says something about honor in
leadership to me. On the other hand, the world is full of people
well worth honoring, loved ones, friends.

  1. Indeed, sadly even these politicians are humans, and as humans they are flawed just like anyone else.

  2. :/ I wish I had your viewpoint. From where I'm standing, everybody's honour falls to the wayside when there's opportunity ahead.

  3. Seems the illusion of honor is more valuable to politicians. It really is weird.

  4. Honor seems to be lost in a large portion of society...
    People don't look up to their elders anymore. It's a shame.
