Of Warriors and Honour
A topic for discussion

Over the years I have seen many who claim to be Warriors, read much and heard much talk about what it is to be a Warrior, and even more so on the concept of Honour
I have come to a point in my own journey where I believe it is time to define these things for myself
In an effort to do this I have looked in many places and read many things
I want to share what I have found as well as my thoughts and ideas on the matter
Even more so I wish to hear the thoughts and ideas on the same

Please Note : The writings henceforth have been collected from numerous sources. The ideas and beliefs are not all my own. These have been collected not to offend, exclude or judge but as a basis for discussion only
