Honor is personal integrity. It means you have integrated your principles into your character, and that is who you are.
A person who has personal honor has conscientiously determined the standards by which s/he will live, and proceeds to carry them out, without fail, regardless of difficulty and in the face of opposition.
Please note that it is not enough to "have" standards. In order to have personal honor, one lives those principles, acts upon them, exercises them.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.

If you define your own morality, then what compels you to be constant in what you currently deem to be "evil" (or "good")?

Does anyone appreciate the sound reasons for egoism that Max Stirner provides in his Ego and It's own?

SimplyKate, I just have to know - are you in NM like me? I'm in Albuquerque

Thank you for the nice comment, by the way :)

I'm just across the border to the north, but had a ranch outside Las Vegas for years. I miss NM desperately and am thinking about returning.

Come home! Is it snowing there? I'm snowed in today. I love the LV area too, have good friends in LV, Mora and Angel Fire

I'm back! I volunteer at the library on Weds. mornings. No snow today, we got ours again yesterday. It's amazing how much snow Albuquerque's had this winter! Wonder if we know any of the same folks around LV? I worked at Highlands U for years. It's GREAT to 'talk' to someone from home.
Thanks Lyn!
