The Lost Word
They say Japan was made by a sword. They say the old gods dipped a coral blade into the ocean, and when they pulled it out four perfect drops fell back into the sea, and those drops became the islands of Japan. I say, Japan was made by a handful of brave men. Warriors, willing to give their lives for what seems to have become a forgotten word: honor.

mmm .. well .. that's wat they say , but profoundly .. was it that honorable how they treated women and peacants ? was it honorable when they invaded china ? and did what they did to chinease ?
my lady .. honor is a meath in history , we can never define it that absolute
Well ,maybe you're right, but Honor is not a myth. We, The Arabs and Muslims, had what was defined as Honor on the heydays of the islamic and arabic civilaizations, and by Arabs civilization i mean before islam. Then again, every thing is relative, but at least they sticked to their beliefes and defended them.
I know, that's not an excuse, but better than being a parasite , a rootless being. right !
