The meaning of the word honor. The meaning of the word “honor” Honor in the broadest sense

Add to favorites

Honor is a property of a person’s character, to have recognized, social and moral dignity, causing general respect in society, achieved by a person’s personal merits through his actions.

A man of honor has many virtues, he is characterized by sincerity, nobility of soul, an honest and direct intention to adhere to previously reached agreements, conscientiousness, decency, valor and a clear conscience.

This is the internal attitude of a very Strong personality. This is decent behavior in society. Honor adorns a person. The owner of honor, as a manifested quality of personality, can become not only an officer (officer's honor), a knight (knight's honor), a merchant (merchant's honor) or any other member of a privileged group, but also any citizen.

A man of honor will not attribute guilt to circumstances beyond his control, but will act in accordance with his demonstrated personality quality - honor.

This quality began to manifest itself in people with the separation of privileged groups from the community - a princely squad was formed, a collective code of unwritten rules was created, which implied the observance of honor. Honor meant adherence to a system of rules that distinguished a given group from others and emphasized its high status.

Disagreements can arise between honor and conscience. In our time of prosperity and self-interest, when many elite groups have disappeared, it has become more difficult to be a “slave of honor.” Honor has disappeared from general understanding, much less observance of the rules of honor.

There are few people left in this world who are capable of giving their lives for the honor and right to be called human. To do this you need to have considerable courage. An example of the remaining echoes of Honor is the modern Navy and submarine combat officers, as well as modern elite Army units. Honor is successfully revived in difficult times of danger for the Country. Any feat of a soldier or officer can be confidently attributed to honor and dignity in the name of the Motherland. These are not just empty words! This is a person’s life - the most valuable thing that he gave for the sake of the lives of others! Everything else can be neglected! !

Most people try to survive like animals, and this does not require honor or dignity. Children have not become better than their fathers, although one cannot blame any generation as a whole. Few people risk throwing themselves into an embrasure, defending their own or someone else’s honor.

Of course, this does not mean the abolition of honor - which is becoming more and more numerous. The loss of such concepts as “honor” is fraught with numerous troubles for society.

People become Superficial, Indifferent and Dishonest. A man of honor is a principled person who follows only the unwritten rules of any group or structure when they fully correspond to his views and principles. He is incapable of lying and adapting to rules that are unfavorable to him.

True Honor is the decision to do in all circumstances what will not cripple the lives of other people. Matters of honor do not know trifles. For whom honor is a trifle, everything else in life is also not important. For a man of honor, any little thing that affects his honor becomes no small thing. Honor can be defined as hypertrophied morality, devoid of tolerance for the slightest insult. The personal and individual are sacrificed to the general, and a man of honor without hesitation rushes to defend his honor. He understands and realizes that behind his personal honor is the honor of his peers, and, therefore, he needs to behave uncompromisingly and militantly.
