HONORABLE

HONOR: A SENSE OF WHAT IS RIGHT OR DUE; REPUTATION. PARIS HILTON (CELEBRITY) HAS NONE. T.E. LAWRENCE (WRITER AND SOLDIER) HAD SOME. CONSONANT WITH POPULAR DEMAND AND HER PERSONAL COMMITMENTS, PARIS HILTON BEHAVES DISHONORABLY. ON THE OTHER HAND, WE DO KNOW THAT T. E. LAWRENCE DIDN’T. SCHOLARS AND GOSSIPS HAVE TEASED US WITH HIS HOMOSEXUALITY, BUT EVEN IF WAS TEMPTED BY HOMOEROTIC TENDENCIES, T.E. LAWRENCE APPARENTLY NEVER ACTED UPON THEM. HE FOUGHT THEM HONORABLY; HIS CONTRIBUTION WAS POSITIVE ON THE WORLD’S STAGE. WE KNOW, HOWEVER, THAT MANY MALES WHO HAVE BEEN TEMPTED BY UNNATURAL THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS, CANNOT SAY, "WE ARE ALL HONORABLE MEN."

HONOR- IS IT DEARER THAN LIFE? DEARER, YES, THAN A LIFE CLUELESS ABOUT RIGHT OR REPUTATION FOR WHICH PARIS SHOULD BE ASHAMED. OF LAWRENCE OF ARABIA, BRITAIN CAN BE PROUD.
