What is honor?
Member Blog post · Lifestyle
To me, it is keeping one's word, acting with an at least moderate amount of decorum, standing up for what one believes, admitting one's mistakes and apologizing when necessary, dealing impartially with people/not playing favorites, following generalized societal rules and giving people their own chances to screw up before giving up on them.
I would like some clarification on this. Because my definition seems to not quite match what other people think. Or people can post what they think this word means to them. I've been called a coward before, believe it or not, in the past. So, answers please, Gentle Readers.

Honour (or honor in American English) is the idea of a bond between an individual and a society as a quality of a person that is both of social teaching and of personal ethos, that manifests itself as a code of conduct, and has various elements such as valor, chivalry, honesty, and compassion. -c
It is an abstract concept entailing a perceived quality of worthiness and respectability that affects both the social standing and the self-evaluation of an individual or institution such as a family, school, regiment or nation. Accordingly, individuals (or institutions) are assigned worth and stature based on the harmony of their actions with a specific code of honour, and the moral code of the society at large.
In addition to the statements above, this one sees Honor as acting honestly and with more than one’s own self interest in mind. It is holding to one's convictions. It isn’t always “drawing a sword†so to speak. Honor is about choosing your battles while holding to your beliefs. Sometimes that means remaining silent and choosing not to engage.
