About this Quote

Akhenaton, an Egyptian pharaoh who lived over 3 thousand years ago, believed that honor is a fundamental part of the human soul. To him, honor resembles a garment that the soul places on when it is very first joined with the body and uses it throughout life. Honor is a reflection of a person's character and their innermost values, which are revealed through their actions and habits. This is why the soul keeps this garment on up until the moment of its separation from the body, stressing the importance and significance of promoting honor. In essence, Akhenaton thought that honor is an important part of being human, and it is something that we should pursue and treasure.
