“HONOR” is a Primary Principle and prime virtue, is the feeling and the expression of admiration, respect, or esteem accorded to another as a right or as due. Honor refers to virtue, purity, a keen sense of ethical conduct, and integrity. We honor God as Personality, but are loyal to God as Principle. A Master learns Honor, and polishing ethics and morals. "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God" sets the keynote of Honor to God above all things. Honour (or honor) comprises the reputation, self-perception or moral identity of an individual or of a group.
Be not ashamed of thy virtues; honor's a good brooch to wear in a man's hat at all times.- Ben Jonson
What ever happened to people honoring their word??
A situation in a family members life has made me wonder about people.
I always look for the best in every person & I want to trust them until they give me reason not to. I was always taught to honor my word & to be honest. I really appreciate my parents for instilling in me the values that I now carry.
Sometimes I forget that not everyone was taught the same values & manners that I was. I understand everyone grows up differently & I that different people experience different diversity. BUT (big BUT) it's your word!!!
I believe if you can't honor your word, what can you honor? I am so thankful for the friends & family I surround myself. They are simply amazing. I honestly don't think I would be the person I am today with out the great friendships I've made. I truly believe you are who you surround yourself with.
XOXO- Tiff
It sucks your family member had to deal with that but I dealt with a similar situation and it just sucks because you expect some to hold their word and when they don't you feel a little stupid for believing them and then it also sucks because I know for me it will be REALLY hard to ever trust someone's word again. But it will be ok and your family member will get through this!
