Honor can mean a lot of things, but honor is only given to a person who truly deserves it....
It can mean high respect, you would honor a person for their bravery in battle....you would honor a student for getting the highest grades in school. High respect is given to those who have given in their effort, whether they succeeded or not.
Honor can be given to a soldier who died in battle, even if they lost the war. If he had tried to fight, instead of fleeing without integrity.....he deserves to be honored.
Honor can also mean privilege....you deserve honor if you had done your best, even if you did not succeed or if you HAD succeeded. You could have the honor to be crowned as king, assuming that you are ready to take control......while also being a person with integrity and not misusing your powers...
Privileges and high respect are only given to those who truly deserve it. They could be given to a student who gained most votes in a Science Fair project, or a soldier who died in the Vietnam War.....
Honor is what people get when they do something worth remembering, while also doing it with integrity.......
A noble sacrifice for a good cause deserves honor; effort being put in deserves honor......
For example, in "The Highwayman", Bess and Tim sacrifice their lives for each other....their causes are equally honorable. And in "The Charge of the Light Bridgade", the soldiers did not flee from fear. Even though they were defeated, they did not die for nothing.....they deserve honor from their bravery in battle.....
