Honor
is hard to come by. Those who think they know what honor is and still dishonor
themselves don’t know what honor is. Honor is known by those who have a good
heart and fight for the right thing. So why is it that when people think they
have honor they do dishonorable things? Because they follow a false guideline
of life. If those who can’t follow these unspoken guidelines are fools to the
concept of honor, but they believe in the lifestyle they live in. So are they
at fault for following what they believe in? Questions such as these go
unanswered every day. People often ask themselves “why am I here? What is my
purpose?”, but they don’t realize that the answer to such questions lie within
themselves. The brave and the bold know that there is a life free of hate, war,
bloodshed, etc. yet they follow the rules and conduct they believe in. So why
continuously follow someone without thought of whether or not it is morally and
truly honorably correct? Finding the right course and balance in the two are
nearly impossible at such a young age, but could that be altered by those who
have lived through enough of life’s experiences? How can we be the judge of
anyone when we ourselves believe that we should not be judged by others? What
ever happened to ‘judge not lest ye be judged yourself’? A soldier fights
because it is instilled in him, but a hero fights to protect what is important
to him. That is where the real strength lies. Find your own strength and live
for what you believe in. Find the honor that lies within your nature and fight
for what you love. Then you will learn the true meaning of peace.
