I decided to give the community a little more insight into myself. so here it goes.

I am a man of honor. This may seem to be a cryptic statement, but as I will entail, it means much more than those simple words. These days, honor seems to be a super power. Something that makes one different from all of the rest.

I am honest. I never lie. Not to hide myself, hide my thoughts, spare someone their feelings, spread the belief in a fictitious deity/fantasy, or even to protect my own life. Does that mean I will answer every question, even if it can hurt me, like my security numbers or whatnot? Of course not. If I'm asked something that is no ones business but my own, I simply do not answer. I don't lie to anyone. EVER. Honesty is part of honor.

I am loyal. Loyalty means never turning your back on those you care about. Never turning your back to your own beliefs. Never turning your back on those that rely on you. Loyalty is part of honor.

I am compassionate. Compassion/empathy is feeling what another feels. Putting yourself into the place of another in order to understand their point of view. When seeing another person in pain, being the one that is there for them. Compassion is part of honor.

I am altruistic. Altruism is doing good for another without expecting anything in return, be it money, to make ones self feel good, or for a belief that ones deity will reward them for it in a heaven. True altruism does good for the good of mankind. Altruism is part of honor.

I am chivalrous. Chivalry is not holding a door open for a woman for that shows a woman that you think her incapable of doing things for herself. That is an insult. Chivalry is doing things for others that they truly can't do for themselves. Like helping an elderly person cross the street. Or defending the weak. Women are not weak, nor are they incapable of doing things for themselves(unless they are disabled in someway). Treating them as such is an insult. Chivalry is part of honor.

I am valorous. Valor is standing up to odds that are against you for the greater good. This does not mean running headlong into a fight you can't win. It means using your intelligence to know when you can fight and when you have to wait to fight. Fighting is not always physical, sometimes it is mental. Intelligence is a must for true valor. Valor is part of honor.

I have humility. Humility is knowing that you don't know everything. No one can know everything. Humility means always striving to learn more. Humility is part of honor.

I have integrity. Integrity is doing what is right, even when not under scrutiny. Doing what is right when it matters and when it doesn't. Doing what is right when tested, or when the outcome is dangerous. In short, integrity is doing what is right. Always. Integrity is part of honor.

I am kind. Kindness is being good to friends, family, and strangers alike. Even if the one you're dealing with is an enemy, kindness is still needed. The measure of a man can be shown even when he shows kindness to his enemies. This does not mean that he allows his enemy to roll over him. It only means that he shows kindness when it matters. Kindness is part of honor.

I am a teacher. Teaching is what one does to encourage the wisdom/knowledge of others. To not let what one learns to fade into obscurity. One never hides what one learns so that others may gain. Teaching is part of honor.

I have respect. Respect is having reverence to the thoughts, feelings, well being, and otherwise property of others, as well as things outside of the self. Respecting friends, enemies, and strangers alike. Respect is part of honor.

Honor is more important than any society. More important than any belief structure in a religion. More important than deities, demigods, leaders, prophets, or any personal ethics. Honor places one above animals, but even animals have some honor amongst themselves. Few in the world know what real honor is, and I have created this telling so that others will know honor.
I am a man of honor. What are you?
