People do their utmost because of mutual respect, and because of the expectation of conducting repeat business - not because of honor. Try telling your elderly parents' social worker you want to gauge their performance, because you're shopping around for someone new, and only A-players are acceptable. Then watch how much care and kindness your parents receive out of honor alone. Going above the call of duty for "honor" is not a virtue. It's being a doormat.
