ARE HONOR and INTEGRITY LOST FOREVER?

 Have Honor and Integrity become a relic of the past? Have we become so morally corrupted that we have so drastically lowered our standards in the new world of politically correct and misguided modernism?
  The other day, I was having dinner with my wife and kids and overheard some young people (in their teens) in the next booth seriously disrespecting the elderly couple dining with them, specifically this older gentleman. Out loud, these young bullies would mock the older couple by saying mean things like "all this old fart ever does is talk about Honor and Integrity. "They continued to make fun and insult this seemingly good older man and his wife simply because they did not understand what these magnificent words meant.

 I thought about it long and hard and was amazed at how people today perceive those two very important traits of a man's character and how the new perspective of these values and the new generation's idea of modernism are cheapening the meaning of these very important words.

 Many people that live by those words today are ridiculed and ostracized simply for having the courage to defend these precious conservative values. We as a center-right country need to re-focus and start teaching our children the importance of why these words are so crucial in how you lead your life.

 You read about the great men and women throughout our history that knew what those words meant, they said what they meant and meant what they said.
 Many stood for what was right, even if it meant certain death. These are the heroes that have given their blood, sweat and tears and even their lives to give us what we have today, the greatest country in the history of civilization and that........... is what makes these people special.

  A man with
 Honor has the ability to be counted on to do the right thing every time, regardless of the situation. This is crucial in how you are measured and trusted by your family and friends.


 
Integrity has to do with always doing the right thing, even if the outcome is not in your interest.


 There are some things that great people strive to achieve as their goal in life, be true to your God, friends and family, honor your commitments and defend what is right regardless of the consequences. If you give your all in the pursuit of defending what is morally right, you will forever be known as an honorable person who made a difference in many people's lives. That is something that no one can ever take away from you............. not now, not ever.
