At the root of honor is the idea of living true to standards of excellence for beings like us. The standards by which we measure ourselves always have important social dimensions; the eye by which we assess our own excellence invariably invokes the eyes of a community. Ultimately, the human gaze looks both inward and outward: Integrity focuses on the inward and honor speaks to the outward elements of the self.
