PERICLES ATHENS ...two thousand years ago. "For it is only love of honor that never grows old: and honor is is, not gain as some would have it, that rejoices the heart of AGE and HELPLESSNESS..." Honor never grows old, and honor gives the greatest joy, because honor is, finally, about DEFENDING noble and worthy things that deserve to be defended, EVEN AT A HIGH COST. In our time, the cost may be social disapproval, public scorn. hardship, persecution, or even death. Does honor have a future? Like all things human, it is always open to question ... HONOR has a future, IF WE CAN KEEP IT. AND WE KEEP IT only if we continue to esteem it, value those who display it, and refuse to laugh at it... IMPRIMIS
