Honor

Honor is one of those words used by many who will say "its an honor to meet you." Do they really mean it's an honor? Do they even know what honor means. I know I have said that phrase many a time. I also know that when I said that I didn't mean it. Most of the time I didn't even look in the others' eyes. In America one can get away with using words without expression or sincere tone. Now I am a little different having learned on my own. Showing respect with honor is something that is passed on from generation to generation, or it is something that takes time while one breaks previous instilled habits and learns anew. It's an honor to be alive and be blessed with those in my life. It's an honor to be living in free country. It's an honor to be able to learn from all different types of people, religions, and views.
