Annie did a better job of making my point than I did. Thanks Annie.
We watched the same movie. We have a different definition of 'compassion' and 'honor'. With Maximus, training his fellow gladiators was an act of COMPASSION. He could have let them fend for themselves and die one by one. No skin off his teeth. he would have been ok.
In some middle eastern countries, fathers and brothers may kill their daughters/sisters if they feel that they have lost their 'honor' because of their actions.
To me, 'honor' means to step beyond my hurt, hate, anger and need to punish and instead be christ-like and compassionate while still maintaining boundaries. That is 'honorable'.
So, 'honor' comes in many flavors. What does 'honor' mean to you?
It doesn't matter to me if you and your W are together. It matters to me that you and your W are not continuing to hurt each other. Your kids deserve better.
I'm sorry I didn't follow your journey, I feel like I'm adding too little, too late. I hope that's not true.
