I gots an open qvestion for de netvork: vhat does "honor" mean to hyu? Iz it de same or different den "duty" or "loyalty"? Does hyu try to live "honorably", und vhat does dot involve?

[voice][private/moderate to hack]

De more dot I hears about vhat a samurai iz und does, de more I iz reminded of de Jagerkin. Loyalty to de Master or Mistress until death, und a few odder tings here und dere, make me very curious. Perhaps ve could learn a ting or two from dem, und dey from us. I gots to admit, though, dot I finds dis "honor" ting both fonny und confusing...

...I guess honor is the standards a person holds themselves to. While duty and loyalty can be based on honor, they aren't quite the same thing. Duty's more specific - it's more like the responsibilities a person has towards other people. As for loyalty, that's based more on emotion. It's how strongly a person feels about duty and honor towards those around them.

Hey man, your honor is your own. Even if you don't seem honorable to most, you know it for yourself.

I buy... and I sell. You do not attract many customers if you cannot be trusted, of course.

I'm not certain. I think I have a certain sense of loyalty. Otherwise, these are never things I've had to think about.

[zack-thefairest.livejournal.com]

Interesting question you're asking!

It's not the same thing. Honor is more personal, duty and loyalty are generally towards others.

Honor's de ground dot hyu builds on, und de odder two vhat hyu does vith de house vhat hyu builds on dot ground?

Mmn, that's one way to put it. People wouldn't have much need for duty if they didn't have some sort of honor...even if they don't realize it.
