RE: Honor in the Modern Age & How Honor Helps You on Steem
Honor and respect go hand in hand.
I can have honor, and I can respect your version of it also.
You have opinions as do I.
Standing by yours is as important as me standing by mine.
The problem comes when we are not aware or learned in something.
The world is not always the way we see it, for we only see it through our own eyes.
Since perception is 90% of reality, it doesn't take a whole lot to change perception just a little, which means our reality has changed.
The bottom line is for honor to work as you describe I think we need to be very careful about our perception of reality.
We may have been mis-led somewhere along our lifes journey and missed something that could have or might have changed where we stand if only we had known.
What you say makes sense. People can not have honor when they don't know what it means and what they are really doing.
However, people don't want to learn nowadays. The west is full of hedonists that don't value knowledge.
They love: Drugs, sex, television, smartphones, video games, pornography, fast food, working 9-5 for someone else & being lazy.
And when they are 20-30 they get depressed and suicidal because society ain't fair towards men.
Hell, even women get depressed here even tho they get special treatment all the time.
That is because they all live hedonist lives. Women prefer career over family and then they live with cats when they are 40ty while nobody gives a real shit about them in their 9-5 job.
Hedonism, a lack of hardship and ruined families (western society is responsible for that) are the cause why people lack honor.
So you see, you are right, people don't know whats happening and it ain't their fault. However, the information is there.
You are correct - unfortunately.
But as I always say, "I don't know what I don't know".
Until someone opens the door to knowledge ie opens my eyes then I have no idea.
You are correct. Sadly people are different and it is almost impossible to unite hundred thousand people on the street to throw some stones into the windows of the elites.
The elites don't need to do that. They have millions in the bank and the ability to influence powerful people.
This is why I came to the conclusion that I don't care about people I don't know (this excludes people who support me in my goals).
But in terms of Steemit I wish more people would do that. Everyone here is kissing ass for a dollar, worse than homeless people.

I have read that post and nothing surprises me. I however stay away from all the outrage, from the left or the right, it is just distracting me from my goals and does not help me in any way.
