What Does It Mean To Be Honorable

Dying is Easy, Being Honorable is Hard Mark Twain once said “The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time”. To have an honorable death means to first have a life full of reason. Having a life where a difference was made in either a loved one’s or even a complete stranger’s is one of the key ways to have an honorable death. When life is lived without regret and only lived to understand others so that you can help them with the issues they may have in life, an honorable death will be the reward. It means that the life lived was not a wasted-on selfishness of the “me”. It is important to have an honorable death because a legacy is left behind. When that happens, people will be able
To be honorable means to not have any bad intentions or regrets. Doing the right thing and putting another’s life before them self is how your reach the honorable status. Death is something that is a part of life and it always will be. To have a death that is honorable, things that benefit others instead of the “me” must be done. Having a conscience means that knowing what is right and what is wrong. The only way to have an honorable death is by having a conscience. Knowing right from wrong will allow you to know what should and should not be done in order to reach this kind of death. For example, my grandmother was a woman of many words. She had so much knowledge of the world and the way people work. When I was in high school we would have late night conversations about life and the way we treated it. She would always tell me to love myself but to always remember that it was not always about me. She taught me to be selfless because she always made an effort to help others no matter what situation she was in. She taught me to love unconditionally and to never judge others. One of the most important things she taught me, was that I must forgive those who have done me wrong. She would tell me that I needed to forgive them because as long as I held bad feelings towards someone, they would always control a part of me. This taught me
When I first lost my grandmother, I was very angry with the world and the people in my life. I wanted an explanation as to why she had to be taken away from me. I felt like it was some sick cruel joke to ruin my life more than it already was. I began to treat others how I felt and that was horrible. I became a bitter person who did not care about anyone but myself. Throughout the months after her death I started to come to means with her death. I realized that because I had been given this life and I must pay for it like my grandmother. Her way of paying for it was by being selfless. My way, is by forgiving those who have done wrong by me. I must forgive those who have made me feel as if my life did not mean anything to anyone. I have to forgive them because without forgiving them then I will not be able to truly be happy which means I cannot truly make conscious decisions about my life. They will always have this control about how I think about life and how I treat others. My relationship with death is that I am accepting of it. Though I may not be ready for it because I have not taught or learned more, it is not something that I fear. I believe that I have done right by those I love and I have forgiven those that I needed to forgive. My conscience is clear. Everyone I love knows the things that I have taught them and learned from them. They are not disappointed at all with the life
