- Go to ADD'ING ABOUT HONOR...BE WARNED, IT'S A BIT OF A RANT
I'm honored to be able to say we think so much alike
So much of what you said here I've thought myself. Honor has become an overused word and an underutilized virtue.
You also need me think of this...
She offered her honor. I honored her offer. And all night I was off her and on her.

Honour, unfortunately, is a dying thing. People rationalize, justify, or modify their integrity to meet their own needs.

Beautiful and not hard to follow at all, my dear!
Actually, my father was a very easy going and forgiving man, except for one cardinal sin. Simply stated, if you did not keep your word, if you did not do what you said you would do, he had no use whatsover for you. That came from military ethos and being blooded in combat. If one says they will be at a certain place at a certain time, and show up, oh five minutes later, that five minutes means the difference between survival and slaughter.
He pretty much extrapolated that to the rest of life. And the older i get, the more I find myself feeling the same way. It does matter, and if we are to survive, it better start mattering to everyone.
I have started to rant in your comments. Sorry...
