Personal Honor
I have been thinking of the things that makes us what we are.. There are many things that make the matrix that we are; nurture, education, genetics. It seems as though many people are so caught up in their mundane lives that inner issues go unexamined. One issue that is important to me is personal honor. Below is a definition of Honor that I agree with. This comes from AnswerBag by LynfromNM.
Honor is personal integrity. It means you have integrated your principles into your character, and that is who you are.
A person who has personal honor has conscientiously determined the standards by which s/he will live, and proceeds to carry them out, without fail, regardless of difficulty and in the face of opposition.
Please note that it is not enough to "have" standards. In order to have personal honor, one lives those principles, acts upon them, exercises them.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
