Honor used to be a matter of life and death in men’s lives. To live with honor was a man’s greatest motivator in his conduct and relationships. To lose honor, whether on a battlefield or with a woman, led many men to die with honor. If men lost honor in their life, they believed they could restore it by how they died. In our post-honor culture today, we look down on this ancient practice of dying with honor. But have we also looked down on living with honor?
