Honor (Hover)
Yes, gone are the days when war was honorable and armies met each other face to face to engage in battle. Now, war is waged through terrorism and honor is just a five-letter word for those who die serving their country.
Honor is lost these days, like malealexander said it's just a five letter word anymore. I know some people still strive for honor, I know I do at least. Honor to me is a set of rules that people believe in and uphold with every bit of confidence that the other will have as well.
Honor in battle does not exist today. However, honor does exist in other aspects of life. Honor is what is left when I refuse to let anyone but my self take responsibility for what I have done. Honor remains when I will not disrespect my wife or mother even when they aren't around. Honor is why I have respect, loyalty, and protect my family even if it would require my death. Honor is the sense of ones own personhood, my own manhood, that I put on the line to do what I believe is right no matter what the cost. Honor will not let me bow to the whims of anyone tyranny, nor stand for the reduction of freedom or liberty for the sake of my childrens future. Honor exists today, but in different form. The days of chivalry are long gone, but honor still remains.
I believe konquererz is right to a point. Yes there is still honor today and I believe there is chivalry as well it just doesn't get noticed. Honor is shown daily in different ways like what was said but chivalry is as well. Honor and chivalry are hand and hand together, because chivalry is a sense of honor.
