Honor
-
Hi all. I'm doing an experiment. Who can tell me what the word honor means to them? I'm not looking for what webster says. I can look it up. Just curious to see the responses.
I'll play. Honour is contextless by itself - used as a shortcut for a larger meaning. To Honour something is to do as expected or asked. You honour your debts when you pay them off. You honour your parents when you act in a way that they would expect you to.

Much like color and colour I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honor[^]

I may be verging on SB material here but its just another word thats been used to manipulate the public like patriot.
I'm not sure the general public has any idea what honor means. The lack of understand leaves them open to manipulation.

I would think it is generally used when referring to warriors. Your honour represents your status in the warrior fraternity.

Its used as an excuse for killing people. As in 'honour killing': 'You have defamed my honour and now I must kill you'. Honour killings always have to happen in public. The defamed has to be seen to be defending his honour otherwise it isnt honourable. This bahaviour is common from the islands of the Med, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicilly, to Greece, the Balkans, and through to places like Pakistan, where it is sister who are killed because the smiled at a boy, thus defaming their familly. So basically, honour = ego, image based, head spew that people get really shirty over and makes them do stupid things.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

ok, so I didn't get that at first, I after dismissing Horour Harrington I went with someting like honesty, being honest with yourself, honouring yourself, being the best person you can! The warrior thing didn't get there till I read your post. Mostly I thought of the lack thereof, politicians etc.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

I read a book once called "Next to Honor". The thing that was next turned out to be valor. Maybe your next thread can ask for definitions of that.
Best wishes, Hans

Stand by your principles, even if it is hard on you.
