what is your opinion of honor? Should it be valued?
I just read book called blood ninja by nick lake. In the book it brought up a good point about honor.
It spoke about honor being about obeying authority and dying when required. That everything else was pretty much meaningless. Being loyal to the authority is most important. The authority uses honor as a tool for warriors to submit to them, do their work, and even die in their name. That the authority actually has no honor, only practicality.
In a way this is true. I mean in the book they were referring to samuri but it could apply to military and law enforcement today. Politicians would knows this and use it as a tool for their agendas. Church's as well.
Do you think it is a good thing if used properly and a bad thing if misused or just a illusion or am iI wrong?
