CODE OF HONOR

There are some valuables that’s been lost and or became quite rare in humanity throughout time and generations. Among them are chivalry-readiness to help the weak, courtesy-respectable attitude, prestige-respect for quality in others, and honor-agreement of high merit or conduct where and to whom its due. In reality, all of these can be reduced into one word RESPECT or a phrase code of conduct. In all walks of life we are faced with such codes whether it’s at the work place, at home, at school, in organizations, in the temples or in churches. Each has their own code of conducts and even within these different organizations especially within the different denominations in churches to each its doctrines. The codes seemed to have been a sub-law for society to follow to facilitate and keep all in check so we don’t lose our human side, to prevent chaos. Through time however we’ve lost most of the essence of whom and whose we ought to be. Humanity’s Holy CODE OF HONOR was written by God’s very hand given to Moses on Mount Sinai known as the Ten Commandments. Under God’s grace terms through Jesus blood sacrifice and Salvation gift however these commandments were simplified into the two greatest commandments most of us believers know today. The first being to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul as the second being to love your neighbor as yourself, (Matthew 22: 37-39). To return back to basics and retrieve our lost Code of Honor we would have only to uphold the two greatest commandments, they’re the best prescriptions to society’s malady. Knowing this is really a set up, it obligates one to take action toward healing self then to project healing outward to others. Later before God’s throne when you’ll want to say “well Lord I didn’t know of these,” or “no one never explained it to me;” He’ll pull out the original copy of the simplified version of His golden rule and serve it to you on a silver platter that you can’t refuse. So I urge you brave souls reading these lines, before it comes to this to take proper action for the betterment of your life journey and productive exit. While you breathe the borrowed breath of life whispered into you, while the blood flows alive through your veins, while your eyes are still open and can focus, while your mind can still be redirected in going the right path by choosing, before your eyes close for the last time and you’re forced to hear the very last piece of information you will ever hear in this world-still unsure whether that last info will be in your soul’s best interest or not, it’s of utmost importance to make provision and store it as does the ants for their winter. Your winter might arrive as a thief in the night without warning. The sun might set over your life at an un-appointed time, because tomorrow isn’t promised to any man; you owe yourself the right to uphold and follow God’s Holy Code of Honor over your life. Because you don’t really know the depths of the worth or value of a soul nor do you have the capacity of remitting the weight, burden or responsibility of a soul lost, command yourself to respect and revere the essence of the code of honor God has for your life for the betterment of your soul’s eternity.

AWARENESS IN REPORTING: Personal Commentary!

    Upon reading this article I felt sad and even shed tears when the “Hugs Not Walls” family groups came together.

     According to Articles 2 and 5 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the discriminating, torturing and degrading of any human being is intolerable so why have society allowed themselves to continuously break their own rules for effective living? I’ll tell you why!

When the head falls ill or prey to any type of bacteria it infects the whole body if not tended to properly and in a timely manner. Like how tapeworm is infiltrated into the body through infected food or drink carrying its eggs or worm, so also parasites take their nutrients from their hosts. In any organization, nation, country, hospital, church, school, place of employment, etcetera if the head isn’t on par with its own code of conduct, those that are to follow him also deter. Any time the code is emphasized as mandatory and is enforced by those that lead then the people also fall into place like soldiers standing guard. It’s detriment to your people, your land and your flag that you uphold the written law but understand more so to God who positions each leader (Romans 13:1) you must answer for the lack thereof. I tell you if the head is sick the body will have difficulty standing in line. If you want to fix the body then work on the head. If you had problems with the way a tree gave off its fruits each year you would begin by fixing the problem at its roots, cleaning, watering, nourishing, fertilizing at the base to get better results in the fruits. So also to begin at fixing a continuous problem in society each person must look within to bring about the best in them as the head of each department realizes to steer their employees on the straight and narrow, you also must be just, fair and respectably human in your demands and requests. If you’re asking a reporter to bring in something, anything without considering the cost of the pain, shame, hurt, insult, torture, discrimination that another has to endure just so the front page news can come from your center then you are indeed feeding the greed beast that seeks to devour all kindness, values, prestige, learned formation that was instilled to keep us human. Respect for life and person must be first and foremost at the top of your list. Even if reports seem “cheesy” to some, it’s still being read! If you asked me, the whole world need some cheesy news to return society back to its former state of caring for others instead of being served with a load of racist, bias, bigotry news that promotes high blood pressure, heartburn or depression. Once upon a time people were courteous to mind their manners and not hurt each others’ feelings even though ‘freedom of speech’ was still an upheld right. Now it seems as though that same right became a doormat to wipe one’s feet as anyone who is considered a minority in anyone’s eyes is degraded, diminished, discriminated and tortured openly as the younger generation watch and is receiving bitterness, hatred and cruelty as the newfound value to corrupt their new world. Society seem to be indeed becoming a race of savage forming. We came out from our barbaric ways and became civilized so it had appeared, why return to cavemen ages? It is not a compliment to our ancestry who fought so hard to bring us to this age. We are indeed lacking and are in need of healing the head so that the full body will compliment the fruitful continuation of generations to come. We still have work to do at improving. Let us be patient with self and others as this process is put into function and fruition.
