I would love to see honor become a cultural value in America again.
- Keeping our word to our friends, to strangers, and to our enemies.
- Speaking and acting in good faith.
- Having a consistent moral compass that guides us in both good and bad times.
- Changing our minds when presented with better evidence or arguments.
- Being able to have hard conversations without melting down, blaming, shaming, or retaliating.
- Standing in solidarity with people who are different from us without needing to valorize or demonize any part of that coalition.
Honor enables us to keep and nurture relationships over time. A world without honor is a bleak hellscape of shallow, transactional relationships and betrayal. You can’t build anything without honor; not friendships, not families, not companies, not countries, and certainly not a civilization.
No matter what we do, if we do it with honor, we have hope that any mistakes we make, errors of judgment, or misunderstandings can be corrected over time. And we have hope that other honorable people will continue to stand with us.
Honorable people hold up the world.
It starts with us. We can do this. 💪
