Mike, You can define honor as you wish, I may wish to define compassion as acts of complete selflessness that help others to achieve more than they would be able to on their own. Both definitions are myopic and make the conversation worthless as to Neo's original post. You tend to make seweeping generalizations that are not always correct. <<Gengis had popular support rivaling Bill Clinton, as his whole population was in the army, not just a professional elite.>> and those people's choices were what? Be inour army or we will kill you and your family? I am sure that made him beloved........... similarly your definition of honor tends to turn extreme acts of terrorism and bullying and attempt to turn them into somethig positive. <<Honor comes from others>>Right. It is something you receive from others, as opposed to selfless giving to others. <<and is what you get for building something>> Sometimes, but not as a rule. Again, you take a limited perspective that only allows for your limited viewpoint. You refuse to llok at the complete picture. It is just as correct to say that honor is something you kill for. <<Compassion is a blind something we all feel when we see a little girl cry.>> Again, you take only the most limited viewpoint. It is just as correct to say that compassion is the only thing that keeps humans from falling into complete barbarism. And finally the most important thing that compassion builds. ""Until he extends his circle of compassion to all living things,man will not himself find peace." Albert Schweitzer Mark
