A working definition of Honor is,
"respect or esteem that has been earned."
Contemplate that for a moment.
It would be very special to earn the respect and esteem

Those who are successful and happy earn their own
self-respect and self-esteem.

your family, your friends, and your community
is the example you set, leading a great life that inspires
those around you to emulate your being.

a heightened sense of community.
It draws our chins up and

the limiting fence of our own events,

Each of us is the One, and the One is inside each of us.
