Believe in Honor

Our word is our bond. When all is said and done, your words should stand on their own, and you should stand by your word.
Generations of our forebears have lived and died with few records left behind. Family remembers family. What they remember is built on each day.
With this amazing technology at our fingertips, we can post, tweet, blog, email and instant message - communicate more instantaneously than ever before. All of this immediate communication can create more emotional interaction and less thoughtful consideration. Every word that goes on this screen will be here forever. The aether is not limitless, it has deep memories. Everything said on a screen is somewhere in a network server, cached and archived. What you say today may come back to you ten years from now.
With this knowledge, is our word still our bond? For the sake of our memories and for generations yet to come, I pray it is. Be honest in your dealings, and just in your deliberations and you shall pass day to day with a mind clear of offense.
