Honour

[lily27]

Yes, that's right. It is spelt with a "u".

So I have been thinking about honour lately. Specifically, how is it determined if you have honour, or you are an honourable person?

I mean, you can decide to do the "honourable thing".... or maybe live by a "code of honour".... but when you "have honour" is that something other people have to decide for you, or is it something you can declare for yourself?

Can you really announce in a huff, "at least I have my honour!" if nobody agrees with you?

Honour is a quality or trait that is often attributed to Dominants. In the Gorean lifestyle it is considered to be very important. But how do you get it?

I think this is a word we toss around an awful lot, to the point that the meaning behind it is vague at best. So what do you think? What does honour really mean??
