“I have been asked what i mean by ‘word of honor’. I will tell you: Place me behind prison walls - walls of stone ever so high, every so thick, reaching ever so fat into the ground. There is a possibility that in someway or another i might be able to escape, but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can i get out of that circle? No, never. I’d die first.”

Reflection: I think that when you give your word, you need to keep it, because you agreed upon saying it. When you are about to give your word, you should think about it because you cannot say otherwise after. I think a good example would be if my bestfriend told me that she wouldn’t do a certain thing. If she says she wont do it, she is committing to keep her word. If she does it, she did not keep her word.
