What is honor?

So due to the lack of honor i see these days i decided to talk about it.

one cannot readily describe honor simply because they do not have the answer predetermined in their head. instead they give examples of what honorable things are.

so i put together this video.

describe to me in your own words what you think honor is

I would say honor is following your heart and your beliefs in the face of all adversities. Honor (IMO) is what you have when you refuse to sell your soul or sell yourself out to the highest bidder. Honor is not strictly for combat and military types, its for anyone who refuses to sacrifice themselves and their fundamental beliefs to anyone for any reason.

Your link is a malformed Youtube ID.

That being said, I think that HONOR is sticking to your principals, no matter what. Rob Roy is a very good example of this.
ETA: Watch this movie if you want some inspiration:

IMNBHO (never been humble opinion)

Honour is:

1. Not sticking to your guns without re-examining every angle and perspective. Being humble enough to admit you made a mistake if you stand corrected.

2. Humility continued - Allowing others to keep their misinformed ideas ... because if we can't walk in their shoes ... we have no idea how they came to attain those absurd ideas and they may need them for some psychological crutch.

3. Not whispering, not telling secrets or gossiping, not talking family business at work, not talking behind somebody's back, not stirring the doggie pooh, and certainly NOT talking about intimate relationship(s) and intimate details with others.

4. Not responding to fools, trolls, or other contentious people. This lowers your level to theirs.

5. Not lying, stealing or harming others. Not lying includes white lies, grey lies, and lies of defense. It's still a lie. Not stealing includes shamming at work, not doing your best at work and stealing so much as a paperclip valued at a penny. These are all theft at some level. Harming others covers a HUGE but obvious area.

6. Not begging for help or advice when you can help yourself or have already made up your mind. This is self-serving attention getting which isn't honourable.

7. Judging fairly and without bias if called to Jury Duty or serving as a Judge. Not judging at all when you have no compelling reason or authority to judge.

8. Most of all - keeping your word and never ever making promises! Why not make promises? Because life is so unpredictable, you may not be here (living) at any time and you'd die with a broken promise (unkept).

Lost honour can never be regained in full.

like scarface said "all i have in this world is my BALLS N MY WORD"

There is balance in the dualities. (Righteous / Evil) (Good / Bad). One pole of a duality can not exist without its opposite. Personally, yes, I favor the Right-Hand Path. But I know it does not exist without the Left-Hand Path.

With that said, I would describe 'Honor' as;

"Word is Bond, and Bond is Life."[/i
