True honor is doing what we know at the core to be right. However I think of its close cousin, integrity. Which is doing what is right and honest even when no one is watching. It is between you and God then. Integrity goes with honor as part of being a REAL person. It is what makes a man a man or a woman a woman. Few people embrace these principles anymore as the world has become self centered and the me generation. it started with the modern kitchen of the 1950's and fast food, fast cars and fast women. It went on to the me generation of the 1960's. Do not get me wrong I love much of what the 1960's stood for ad wish we had many thing s of that today. But we have the grandchildren of that generation. And so we have witnessed the lowering of the bar of honor and integrity in our society. We have gone from the Scouts motto of honor to others to the apathy or the what's in for me attitude. Honor and integrity have been taken to the landfill for disposal until some archaeologist of moral standards discovers the relics in several layers of cultural decay.
