To achieve honour we need different senses which include inter alia ,the nobility of the soul, magnaminity etc honour derives from the perceived virtuous conduct and personal integrity of the person endowed with it as opposed to the general believe that honour deals with reputation fame and money
Gone are those days when honour is measured by the estate of a lord or a blue blooded aristotlean. NOW WE ARE IN A TIME OF OUR TIME . A time where honour is measured by the content of the character and the values of the heart.
According to Richard Nisbett there are three conditions whereby honour is tested the most, these include:
1. a scarcity of resources
2. situations in which the benefit of theft and crime outweighs the risks
3. a lack of sufficient law-enforcement
PROJECTING into each and everyone of these conditions we could discover 1 uniting fact which is common to all and that's the issue of free and independent decisions in very complicated scenario; an honourable man wont commit theft base on the fact that he is hungry or think because the law enforcers in his location are weak, hence decides to take that opportunity to commit crime.
HONOUR cant be accumulated by the sword{force} but by our characters and deeds. AND so it cant be taken away by the sword except if we loose it . we keep believing in what we believe so as to achieve our relieve.
IN OUR CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY TODAY, it seems we have forgotten about the credibility of our leaders we only care about what they have and what they give us during the election, we forget that this people are responsible for building the future of our communities and saddling an inadequate man with such enormous responsibility will lead to a great disruption to our future.
My dear readers, am using this opportunity to raise our attention to the fact that cars money and strength do not confer HONOUR but what confers HONOUR is our deeds, characters and self control in complicated occasions
