@Stahesh Make duels to the death great again. Seriously though, "honor" in all its forms, seems to be more of an impediment to the growth of human civilization than not?
@marlathetourist @Stahesh - I've been dealing with people without honor in my personal life.
"Honor" gets a bad rap - I think because some will use that word to manipulate and goad others. But it also serves a practical purpose.
Etymologically, "honor" and "honest" have the same roots.
I have found that as long as a person understands that the only one who can take their honor from them, is themselves, then I think it serves a very useful and practical purpose.
@marlathetourist @Stahesh - Basically, maintaining a sense of personal honor, is a safeguard against incurring regrets.
Regrets are awful, and will drive people to self-destruction - happens every day.
But if a person should fail at something they tried, for something worthwhile and in an honorable fashion... Then there is no need for them to indulge in crippling regret. They can honestly tell themselves that they did their best. And that's worth a lot. 🫡🍻
