    Morality because scruples and honor derive therefrom.

    Morality

    Presiding Justice Francis T. Murphy of the Appellate Division says that modern man “does not know the ultimate meaning of his life and doubts that life has any meaning. Whatever his moral pretensions may be, he has in fact driven God out of his life, out of his office, out of his home. He therefore lacks a moral center.” From the sports world, Howard Cosell voiced the same opinion when discussing the problem of drug abuse by athletes. He said: “There is no definable moral center in America anymore . . . and that is a problem for the entire culture.

    Scruples”

    moral or ethical consideration: a moral or ethical consideration that tends to restrain action or behavior

    Modern youths are notorious for their misuse of physical power, having no scruples against maiming and even killing one another in gang fights or striking their parents once they have exceeded them in physical strength. New York City’s social workers are often intimidated by corrupt and vicious men on the relief roles who are physically powerful.

    Honor

    The word “honor” is often used in the Bible to indicate the respect, esteem, and consideration that we should show to others. We honor others by being kind to them, respecting their dignity, listening to their viewpoint, being ready to fulfill reasonable requests made of us. Those who are lowly in mind usually will not find this difficult. However, those who are proud of heart may find it difficult to show genuine honor and may instead try to gain favors and advantages by insincere flattery.

    They're hard to separate; you can't have one without the other. Honor isn't honor without morality, patriotism, and scruples. So, Honor is most important to me; and it is so important that I would rather be dead than to be a human maggot without honor. That's right, adult people without honor are maggots.

    Yet, "Honor" is hard to define because it means different things to different people, and nothing to some people.

    Look, I am a sinner, and mess up every day.

    My life is unmanageable without dependence,

    I mean total dependence, on God through

    Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.

    Without that, I rely on self-will, and I may look

    good and moral on the outside, but I will end

    up hurting and living inside a culture of secrecy.

    Moral? Yes. Perfect? way, way, far from it

    as long as I occupy this earth suit.

    Here philosophy is only given highest predominance. All other things are secondary. Philosophy is the only important one.
