Subject: what do you mean? do you mean if you are maintaining a charade? If so, would you really have had honour in the first place? The lesson I take from John is that honour is the oposite of a mask. Acting the way that an honourable man knows is right because he must, regardless of the personal difficulty it causes him. Or I totally misunderstood your question...

  • Well, it would certainly be harder to regain your honor if public opinion was turned against you by a ruined reputation. How awful if you were caught in a lie or worse and EVERYONE knew. Would people ever trust you again or believe a word you said? I believe if you were willing to work hard enough to repair your reputation by not only apologizing but also by fixing anything that was broken to the best of your ability (personal relationships, soured business dealings, whatever) and then living honorably from that point eventually people would start trusting you again. People make mistakes, it would be wrong not to give them to chance to become "honorable" again. As hard as John is on himself, I think he would agree that most people can redeem themselves given the opportunity. (NT) -- Jane, 14:57:35 02/01/08 Fri
