If I am not mistaken, true honor comes in the form of hardships and responsibility. If one is not being tried and placed in situations which could alter the very state of their person’s existence, or that of their people, in the most detrimental of terms, then it would mean they have been forgotten, both by God and people of regard. With an honorable lifestyle comes a state of repetition: one of sacrifice, pain, longing, and great striving; what is unfortunate about this, however, is that with every accomplishment or righteous decision, comes an even greater obstacle awaiting. Nothing gets easier… it might for a time, possibly even for a long while, but no man shall rest while the rest of the world is tested. Whether it be with desires or doubts, insecurities or great wealth, short term contentment or a strong need for patience. Every trial passed and overcome presents a new battle that requires even more from an individual. Sacrifices unseen at one point in time become a reality, loved ones and acquaintances assume new forms of existence to test the individual’s loyalty and love, the almighty may even place in their heart a weakness that they must strive to revive before it overcomes them. After all, this life shit was never meant to be easy, and one can say this only because this life shit only ever made sense.
