There is hardly a more profound concept in Bushido than honor. The Samurai lived and died by their honor,  with haragiri (seppuku) being the final way of preserving lost honor.  Even today there is a great deal that can be learned from Samurai-esque honor.

He was born and bred to value the duties and privileges of his profession. Fear of disgrace hung like a sword over the head of every samurai. To take offense at slight provocation was ridiculed as ‘short-tempered.’ As the popular adage put it: “True patience means bearing the unbearable.”

Had a lovely birthday. Did everything that I wanted to do. The weather was fabulous, like how I remember it as a kid. Just a pleasant late Spring day. Even helped a little lost bat on the grand union canal

I’m so grateful for so many things, so many people in my life, who have stayed with me, when I hit rock bottom. I’m a very private person, so not much comes out in public.
These people know who they are. I’m also grateful for all the lessons I needed to learn in the last year. I did my best, some things worked out others didn’t at least I gave everything a good shot.
To everyone past and present, thank you for being in my life, it’s been a honour. I am happy in myself and it now shows in a good way. Yes, still got work to do, life in progress and all that. Anticipating the next adventure. Much love to you all. ❤ ***

Thank you to the ANZAC troops and to the people’s of the Commonwealth. 

Namus meaning “honor” is a 1925 silent film by Hamo Beknazarian which denounces the harsh rites and customs of Caucasian families. It is widely recognized as the first Armenian feature film.

Based on the 1885 novel of the same name by the Armenian playwright and novelist Alexander Shirvanzade. Namus was first premiered in Yerevan’s Nairi Theatre on April 13, 1926. A few months later it was presented in Moscow. A poster in Leningrad called Namus the “biggest blockbuster of the season” The film had incredible success and brought Beknazarian to fame in the Soviet Union, which helped him in his later works, making him the founder of Armenian cinematography.

The story is set in the Caucasian city of Shemakh, which was a provincial town in pre-revolutionary Russia. The love story involves Seyran, a son of a potter, who secretly meets with Susan, to whom he is engaged. The Armenian customs didn’t tolerate this and strictly prohibited such behavior.  When asked about the film, Hamo Beknazarian said

“I wanted to set the power of custom in the pillory, that stupid force of the concept of father’s honour”
