Q62. What is honor?

Honor is a feeling in which the actions of love are appraised by the person.

  Honor is an emotion branching from love's appraisal. Honor is different from pride, which was previously mentioned. Pride is an emotion derived from shame, in other words, derived from anger.
  Honor is felt when a person's success at work is recognized by society or that his or her work should be recognized, when a persons's work is praised by others, or when a person realizes that he or she was helpful to others. In other words, honor is to feel that one's actions bring love to an unspecified large number of people.
  Honor urges people to take stable actions, to be decisive, to behave confidently, to make their actions more proactive than considerate.
  Honor is an emotion of appraisal for actions of love. Happiness is an appraisal of love's current situation, while honor is an appraisal of the actions of love. Also, happiness is mainly appraised at the family level. On the other hand, honor is mainly appraised at the bigger group level.
  A pro-democracy activist was captured and sentenced to death in a dictatorship. At that time people said it was an honorable death when he was executed without letting his beliefs be altered or fearing death. This is because they believed that this behavior was an act of love which gave courage to the people in that country.
