lost help: What is left when honor is lost? - Help.com

nothing but a waste, and a sad one at that. a husk that will go thru the motions, a zombie, a ghost. am i being clear, ha ha ha?

I feel that honor is the most important thing we can try to achieve and hold onto, because if we are honorable, everything else good will flow from and thru that. if we have no honor, how can we ever be worthy of another human at all?

Determination to recover what’s lost. One can always begin again.

but how can honor be lost once found? how? it is like losing your head from your shoulders. I can see you can slip and stumble, but to lose it alltogether, i do not see how this would be possible, without severing the ties that bind your honor to you, forever

Too dramatic? I think it needs to be. there are no second chances with death, raising a child, or honor. in my humble opinion

I agree with you, to a certain extent. However, I’m a big believer in second chances, at least to a point. Granted, there are circumstances where a second chance is simply out of the question, but for the most part I think that we’re all human. We all make mistakes, and sometimes mistakes are huge. I don’t think that a slip along life’s way should brand someone for life, however. We’re all gonna mess up, but what’s beautiful about human beings is our capacity to love and forgive. It may take a lot of hard work to regain something as precious as honor, as well it should, but if it’s at all possible and fair, I think that everyone should be able to begin again.

on almost anything else, i agree. and respect what you are saying, but this is dear to me. once someone in my life loses, or throws away, their honor, i can never, ever, let them back in. to discover honor, and then lose it, is like losing your child at the playground. to me. it is too precious to take a chance with. hope you see i am not being a bast ard, just trying to say this is close to the bone for me. and only if we define honor the same way.

I totally see where you’re coming from. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of situations where I’d cut someone out of my life as well for a loss of honor. Like I said, it depends on the situation…for me, at least. There are a lot of things I can look over, but a lot of things I can’t. And true, honor is different for everyone.
