Let Us Be Grateful Today we give our thanks most of all, for the ideals of honor and faith we inherit from our forefathers - for the decency of purpose, steadfastness of resolve and strength of will, for the courage and the humility, which they possessed and which we must seek every day to emulate. As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them. ↗

— John F. Kennedy

I thought about how my life had drastically changed after the last few days. I had been on a downward spiral, but after meeting Mr. Honor I felt like I had a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to show up to class. Here he was feeling as if he had ruined my life, but I felt like he had saved it. He had saved me. I was finally living. ↗

It is not seen as insane when a fighter, under an attack that will inevitable lead to his death, chooses to take his own life first. In fact, this act has been encouraged for centuries, and is accepted even now as an honorable reason to do the deed. How is it any different when you are under attack by your own mind? ↗

Honor from death,” I snap, “is a myth. Invented by the war torn to make sense of the horrific. If we die, it will be so that others may live. Truly honorable death, the only honorable death, is one that enables life. ↗

There was no honor in war, less in killing, and none in dying. But there was true dignity in how men comported themselves in battle. And there was always honor to be found in standing for a just cause and defending the defenseless. ↗

You have someone in your life whom you honor and revere so much that every hurt on them is inflicted on you as well. And the closer they are to you, the greater the pain. ↗

الوظيفة في تاريخ مصر مؤسسة مقدسة كالمعبد، والموظف المصري أقدم موظف في تاريخ الحضارة. إن يكن المثل الأعلى في البلدان الأخرى محارباً أو سياسياً أو تاجراً أو رجل صناعة أو بحاراً فهو في مصر الموظف. وإن أول تعاليم أخلاقية حفظها التاريخ كانت وصايا من أب موظف متقاعد إلى ابن موظف ناشئ. وفرعون نفسه لم يكن إلا موظفاً معيناً من قبل الآلهة في السماء ليحكم الوادي من خلال طقوس دينية وتعاليم إدارية ومالية وتنظيمية. ووادينا وادي فلاحين طيبين يحنون الهامات نحو أرض طيبة ولكن رؤوسهم ترتفع لدى انتظامهم في سلك الوظائف، حينذاك يتطلعون إلى فوق، إلى سلم الدرجات المتصاعد حتى أعتاب الآلهة في السماء. الوظيفة خدمة للناس وحق للكفاءة وواجب للضمير الحي وكبرياء للذات البشرية وعبادة الله خالق الكفاءة والضمير والكبرياء. ↗
