Love and Honor

Which one is a more important virtue to you and why?

I am finding it to be a very difficult question. One that is very capable of driving me to madness.

But I'm interested in what this community thinks.

    i think love is. the more you love, the more your life will be filled with happiness. not only a love for people or someone in particular, but for things in general. it makes us live our lives in a different way. and, when you love more and let things into your life, you may experience honor in many different aspects in your life :)

    "I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not Honour more." William Congreave.

    But actually, I think there shouldn't be a conflict - someone who you love shouldn't be asking or forcing you or implying you should compromise your honour (i.e. values/ beliefs).

    Thats right!! IF you don't have honor then you don't have love.

    There is no greater conflict and no greater pain than the pain and conflict you impose on yourself in the darkest corners of your mind. The pain and conflict of filtering decisions through virtues, and values.

    I say love. To live without love is not really living.

    I say love. To live without love is not really living.

    Is there a parallel to living without honor?
