As this is my second blog after "THE RULER" which was eventually not a bad attempt and has given me an enormous amount of confidence to have a go for the second time,this might be a dream blog for a blogger in his early days.People please don't misunderstand on the flimflam given to this blog,as its been my reverie since a while to write or share something about this topic "COURAGE AND HONOR".So what am i upto?
DELINEATING COURAGE AND HONOR:
WHAT MEANT COURAGE IN THE PAST?
Courage as we know gives us the success story of our human species.It is of high significance and hallmark.Not all could have it!so does,not all could define it appositively.In good old days Courage was meant to be the burning fuel or the hunger to reach glory and feat!What made the early men to strike two stones to get fire even after knowing the fire's least scale of upshot?Unambiguously 90% of its reason may be out of curiosity but it took some extent of courage to do that!It is where it began and it never looked back..look at where we are!?Amazing isn't it?Courage has indubitably given us the license to redefine our own gravity!
WHAT MEANT HONOR IN THE PAST?
Honor was a thing conferred as a Distinction,A Privilege,An Exalted Position,An Integrity and which gives Fulfillment.Hard to earn it and even hard to let go off it once it is earned!In the medieval time when The Kings and The Queens ruled us,People lived for honor and esteem.Think about the Romans, Spaniards, Greeks,English, French, Mongolians, Mauryan, Mughals, Guptas, Persians, Tangs, Mings?Honor is the sole thing that they all had it in common!All those things about The Crown,The Throne,Invasion,Reign,Prosperity,Art,Edification were some or the other way related to Honor.It is evidently by far the highest preference given by us,understandably ostentatious.
WHAT DOES COURAGE MEAN AT THE PRESENT?
In the hectic and a monotonous life we lead ,Courage means doing something illicit confidently without caring,being bad and considering it to be cool,being Outrageous,Bullying,and being Dictatorial.How many of us really think that mocking our teachers,arguing with someone,shouting in public,criticizing others make ourselves look courageous?well,nine out of ten times even I would have done it before but at the end of the day, when I think about it I rather felt guilt!and that explains the modern day courage! :O
WHAT DOES HONOR MEAN AT THE PRESENT?
Defining what is regarded as Honor nowadays,is one of the disgusting thing to do!never mind let me be your guest in this case
1)As a Child you feel honored to get your parents attention especially when u have a sibling,u feel honored to brag about your father,your mother,your toys...
2)As a Teenager you feel honored or proud about your Abilities,Gadgets,and in having a Boyfriend/Girlfriend,to look beautiful,to be the best wherever you go!
3)As an Adult you feel honored about your Possessions,Asserts,Job,Children.
All this shows us that how badly we have disregarded 'Courage and Honor'...We really give a lot of preference on others opinion,stature,importance,notions,views on us.It's like as if putting a mask on ourselves just to create a fake impression.
THE FINAL CALL:
- Why is that whenever we watch a super hero movie or a movie about a King/Queen/Prince/Princess we always wish to be them?i mean why don't we think on being some other character in that movie?This tells us that Honorific intentions are implanted deeply into our minds.
- I'm not saying the old days were perfect and the present days are stinking.We do have a lot to cheer up when we compare ourselves to them,but we ought to put our heads down in certain issues,and we have to accept that the supposed Dignity of 'Courage and Honor' has got diminished to some extent!
- Interestingly Courage only requires Determination but Honor requires both Determination and Desperation.It should be noted that the aroma of 'Courage and Honor' could be changed in time but not their Real Taste.
After all it just takes some "Courage and Honor" to talk or think about "Courage and Honor". (^_^)
