After looking at the Congressional circus regarding the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump this past week, this writer wonders if any politician in Congress is truly "honorable" (that's the word that is put in front of their name on their nameplate).According to the above dictionary definition:
"The word honorable has to do with people and actions that are honest, fair, and worthy of respect. An honorable person is someone who believes in truth and doing the right thing — and tries to live up to those high principles. When you lose a game, it's honorable to shake hands. If you smash into someone's parked car, it's honorable to leave a note so they can contact you. Telling the truth is honorable. This word is also used for people who are deserving of being honored, like when judges are called "The honorable Judge So-and-so."
From the above definition, note that "An honorable person is someone who believes in truth and doing the right thing." Question, does Adam Schiff and his cohorts fall into this category? (see here for the answer).
Beloved, both honor and respect are earned qualities (see here). They are based on a life that demonstrates integrity (see here). If we want our children and grandchildren to lead lives of integrity, we have to "teach" them to add that quality to their character by precept and example (see here). Only then can they truly "honor" their father and mother (see here) not only in this life, but even after their parents have departed this life (see here).
