RE: Daily Discussion No. 11: What Does it Mean to be an "Honorable" Person?
Personally, being honorable means being honest to yourself and others. It's when you respect everyone (yourself included) all the time, even when you don't want to.
It can be so easy to talk about being honorable, but you see in society now that it's actually one of the hardest virtues to practice. To be honest, even I have a hard time with this.
As an aside, I'm so glad I followed you. I've been meaning to find someone who initiates these kinds of posts, and I just absolutely love going into discussions about these things. Looking forward to more of these!
@cruziana, I think staying honorable is challenging because we tend to have very busy lives, and much of the time we are in a hurry. And so, we feel under pressure and perhaps tend to reach for "the easy way out," simply as a matter of trying to get through our day as quickly as possible.
Being honorable requires us to be awake and mindful at all times... and that can actually feel like a lot of work. At the end of a long day, are we going to stop and help someone in need, or will we just say "I'm just TOO tired!" and let it be?
Thanks for the follow!
Yes, it's so easy to succumb to our laziness and just choose the easier way. Sometimes it might even feel better! But being honorable is really independent from what we feel because sometimes we don't want to do it but we should.
I'm looking forward to you next post!
