HONOUR

HONOUR

It is a societal misnomer and deficiency to regard to someone as honourable for his wealth, title, or position in the community. The injustice of aggregating much respect to a man because of his material possession is the bane of our downward spiral into the kind of deformed and deficient society we now have, live in, and unfortunately have to endure.

Most men have turned themselves to puppets, instruments, and allowed themselves to be at the mercy of dishonourable men, all on the premise that he his rich. Honour is not of financial or material possession, neither is it of societal status or position, HONOUR is of the heart, it is the quality of knowing and doing what is right irrespective of pressure and personality.

Honour is in treating every man right, and respecting every man appropriately irrespective of age, gender, social status, religion, and creed. Honour is recognising every one as a member of the human race and giving them the regard that is due to them. Only dishonourable men segregate, racially abuse, trample upon, and disrespect other men; they are also incorrigible men.

In the words of Joe Paterno "Success without honour is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger but it won’t taste good." only dishonourable men would care less of the feelings and taste of success, and only about their own satisfaction. Always be guided by the quest and spirit of HONOUR, like Miyamoto Musashi said "You can abandon your own body but never let go of your HONOUR."
