Coffee and Philosophy: Honor

Today's mug is brought to us by those delicious accompaniments
that make our coffee even more enjoyable.

I was thinking about the concept of honor today and what I feel that it truly means. I feel that honor is doing what we know at our core to be the right thing and removing ego from the equation. If we honor ourselves, then we must be authentic and true to ourselves because we know we are worthy and the world deserves our authentic self. If we honor others it's because we respect them and recognize them as equals. Obviously ego can get in the way of this some times and our "honor" can be tainted by fear or limiting beliefs, but we all have the ability to honor ourselves and change. We can break down toxic logic and behaviors and even if we can't fix every situation, we can honor ourselves by learning from our mistakes and not repeating them. Honor is something we do for ourselves as much as for others. What do you think? Namaste.
