Honor just means doing the right thing, and it is also the respect you receive for doing so. The history of the word just means being a good person.
Honor in terms of death and politics is often a manipulated distortion of what is right.
Doing the right thing is often difficult, and this notion is used to manipulate people into killing each other.
There is honor in not selling your dignity for money, or in doing the right thing when it is unpopular or difficult.
There is no honor in killing people to enforce an oppressive power structure. It's about your personal choices, it's not inherently political.

I’d say that honor requires one to do the right thing even when doing the wrong thing could be immensely profitable, and even when nobody would know.
- LB232323 6y agoRight, that's exactly what I said. Honor as a concept is used to manipulate people, and making a lot of money often involves doing dishonorable things.
