Honor is ... or "Lost qualities of a person"

Talk of honor can last forever, especially given the fact that today this quality of human nature dies very quickly. It is quite possible that soon the question of honor, dignity and valor will become a matter exclusively from the section of philosophy.

This opinion is by no means as groundless as it seems at first glance and to that in confirmation of the multiple facts not only of modern history, but also of daily news. Turn on the TV on any channel, where the show is shown, a movie or even a news bulletin. What will you see? It's simple, even the honor of the uniform became an empty sound, because the army is gradually becoming an exclusively commercial organization, what can we say about the structures of a society that are less disciplined?

Characteristics and meaning of the word

Even paying attention to the very structure of the word, we can say that first of all honor is honesty before oneself, together with an increased sense of responsibility for one's actions. You should not also confuse this concept with others, such as dignity, arrogance, arrogance and others. For example, the expression "does not allow honor" is the most vivid example of the above. It implies that a person can not perform this or that act, because he considers it to be wrong, immoral or dishonest in relation to others. On the other hand, honor is in a way an embodiment of pride in meeting someone you think is worthy or fulfilling his mission. All the attitude of a person to such a person is reflected in the expression "it's a great honor for me".

The reasons for "dishonor", or "Take care of the honor from youth"

What is the reason that chivalry has become unpopular and even despised? After all, if honor is the quality of the human soul, which is distinguished only by a positive orientation, then it would seem that one should strive for it. But since the time of the last knights, who "died out" from the moment when the word of one person ceased to have weight before the mass, and force
And the skill of one hand was compensated by a crossbow bolt, honor was the lot of only a few. Those few who understood and knew that honor is an integral part of a person's dignity.

The few that just recently went into battle, defending the land that did not belong to them, and the people who sent them to death, and their future, which for most of them did not come. So we should not say right now that honor is something that is inherent in everyone, or vice versa, because this quality sleeps in everyone only until it is necessary to show it. For some, such a need will never come, someone is waiting for the right moment. But there are special, real, who use the informal "Code of Honor" all conscious life ...

Epilogue

What have we come to? In talking about human qualities, it is very difficult to make a final conclusion and put the last point, if only because there are no identical people, as there are no identical feelings and qualities. So, even in a conversation about honor, one should first of all consider not the person himself, but the situation in which he grew up, lived and died, and then judged for what he once did not do.
