What does it meanto be honorable?
Who is an honorable person? Is it a movie star? No, it is not just a movie star. Let's take a look at the word "honorable" for a minute. Honorable means you are courageous, valiant, and sometimes even servile. Honorable also means you are humble, subservient, submissive, and so much more. Honorable is not just a label. It is a lifestyle choice. People can't buy "honorable". They have to earn it. Sometimes we don't realize that we give it to people who haven't earned it such as movie stars. Honorable is an important thing, and we don't need to shove it to the side.
