Introduction:
Proceeding honorably isn't selective, that can only be used when it's expedient but instead is reflective generally in the decisions made by any individual CONSISTENTLY. If an individual has made such actions a part of his or her life's undertakings it will be readily apparent and revealed without a great deal of effort. In other words, it won't be necessary to embark on an Easter egg hunt to find honorable actions if included by an individual whose decisions and operating style is based on standards. Whose standards are adopted will also come into focus especially if based on matters relating to God as opposed to man's way of conducting affairs. This description is on the subject of determining what honorable actions really are, please follow:
Here are the Background Details:
Take for example the following examples from my experiences to determine if a definitive pathway is either obvious or whether a crude oil drilling expedition is required to evaluate if conduct involving standards are recognized:
The offer of volunteer assistance, which is included in the post THE PREMISE BEHIND THE "FLAWED" LEGISLATION - UPDATED, DOES NOT represent a return to the previous services offering but generically addresses why this one time only offer was made as documented in the post and referenced elsewhere on the Pages of this Blog in an attempt to encourage one with the courage to do what's right for the cause of Lois and the rest of the "Chisholm family inclusive"though unpopular, as documented in the post HONORING GOD AND RESPECTING OTHERS PRACTICALLY - UPDATED.
The criteria outlined there (and summarized below) if carefully followed, will demonstrate that it's possible to be such a leader (of the Franklin/modified Regan - type mold, principled and courageous), even in today's "whatever works" environment!
Before embarking on any undertaking whether small or great an assessment should first be carried out to determine: 1) the type of attitude (or stamina) needed is available, 2) the type of self correction measures, which are personally required that can only be discovered by self introspection, 3) if consideration essential especially for the cause of others is an available characteristic, 4) that the type of knowledge needed for application to avoid the tendency to resort to expedient decision-making, is available and 5) to determine if possession of the proper leadership qualities needed to inspire is a characteristic. This approach does not indicate that the Proprietorship's is providing political services as a business offering previously dropped, this position has not been reversed, but instead represented the specific ONE-TIME only conditions under, which voluntary assistance (would have been provided in that specific case), should such a courageous step forward to champion the cause of Lois Bruno of the "Chisholm family inclusive" had been embarked on successfully, consistent with the criterion in the The Conclusion section post THE COST OF VOLUNTEERING - EDITED AND UPDATED .
Conclusion:
If, a drilling exploration is needed (such as is used to find crude oil (as previously indicated) - see the post HOW REAL SUCCESS IS ACHIEVED), to determine whether or not standards of operation were and are included in the above operating style, then clearly the methods employed were and are not effective in demonstrating a consistent pattern, that includes, courage, sound decision-making and thoughtfulness as opposed to callous actions for others. If these characteristics are clearly evident, only then can it be truly stated that one's actions were conducted honorably and an old fashioned duel wasn't needed to demonstrate such as was considered the only method to demonstrate "honor" in earlier centuries, that only took into account the "gun toting/marksmanship" capabilities of the participants. However, more difficult to achieve, is a consistent pattern over the course of one's life that includes the above character traits. Therefore, to proceed honorably, is quite an undertaking that is why God's Commandments involve honoring Him (God) primarily (nos. 1 - 3 found in the Biblical book of Deuteronomy 5: 6-11) and then as an outcome of this first condition demonstrating respect for others, which is the primary focus of the second part (nos. 4 - 10 found in Deuteronomy 5:12-21) of His ten Commandments.
In the final analysis, great care must be exercised when we use words that hold very significant concepts in their usage because it may take in some instances, a lifetime of actions consistently to convey what is truly intended, as is required in the case of understanding (as documented in the post WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - INSTRUMENTS FOR "LIFE"), instead of a single "cruel" action that some societies employ and ascribe such as "honor" killings, etc., because the taking of life can never be associated with anything honorable as employed in our estimating. As a result, honor will be demonstrated clearly, without great exploratory undertakings when the above criteria even in the case of an individual facing an uphill task of reconciling actions (including words previously spoken without regard for the consequences of their impact, and now brought to the realization of how significant such be when spoken previously without regard for the eventual overall impact); that would require the first step towards acting honorably. This would then require consistently remaining "true" to this stated objective for any individual so inclined to implement. However, it must be emphasized that for any other than God's chosen, this course of action is not really possible as a part of daily living practically, since showing respect for others is a natural byproduct of the former, (namely, honoring God). However, only God Himself can help us to achieve this eventuality because on our own our best efforts are meaningless because the understanding and knowledge required can only come through Him. The final paragraph of the (**Footnote) from the post THE MAKING OF A "GENUINE" HERO (EDITED AND UPDATED)! provides a small glimpse of how allowing God to lead in one's daily life is implemented practically, which does NOT include "showy" acts for the cameras, pilgrimages or even attending sessions of any type but doing what's right when it's not popular privately to start the long process of demonstrating love for an understanding God who will lead in ways to help address those activities in need of reconciling, (just as the subject of understanding as discussed in the previously referenced post WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING - INSTRUMENTS FOR "LIFE", requires the journey of a lifetime and many days (promised) to continually work towards this achieving this attribute as indicated in the above post); then and only then can it be truly stated that following such a course is best, especially if it's demonstrated in the course of one's conduct, consistently, because anything else is expediency!

Here are the Background Details:
Take for example the following examples from my experiences to determine if a definitive pathway is either obvious or whether a crude oil drilling expedition is required to evaluate if conduct involving standards are recognized:
- At Kerite, I was confronted with proceeding according to my standards or expediently when a product was being evaluated to demonstrate its use for a specific application, and the product passed the test for the required duration (for example 1000 days, however, on day 1001 the specific sample failed the test.) The manner in, which one proceeds will demonstrate if action carried out is based on standards or if expedient decision-making is practiced. In this instance, the details as they occurred were related including the 1001-day sample failing. It was correctly pointed out that the sample passed the (ex 1000-day) test and failed on day 1001 as occurred. Needless to say, it was not a popular decision and results of my annual performance review were noticeably delayed among other things, even though the prospective client pointed out that he very much appreciated the honesty and candor included in the Report, which did not have to be done and purchased the product anyway. The Sales Manager who understood my predicament did his best and the purchaser documented their appreciation as indicated above in writing along with purchasing the product. For the record, it must be pointed out that the perspective from, which this situation was approached was this, if my Company was the Purchaser in this situation, they would have appreciated being informed of the informational details of the test outcome and most certainly would not have wanted it withheld. Making all relevant details available and allowing the purchaser to decide with known information was the path that represented fairness in my opinion and it was adopted as the Engineer in charge of the test/product support activity. At the workplace I was persona non grata for sometime and one of my colleagues particularly was placed in a very compromising position regarding keeping his position or carrying out questionable actions, leaving him with what amounted to no alternative and needless-to-say, he buckled under such pressure and made very expedient decisions or else. Therefore, my decision to resign and pursue the volunteer activities in the Lighthouse Project Corporation (LPC), needless to say was greatly welcomed. In spite of his then actions, years later when given the opportunity to make amends after my two-year time off to implement the LPC and follow-up activities, he without reservation gave a glowing recommendation to my prospective utility employer in conducting their background check that my hiring was never in question from that perspective, because all the other information received from the other individuals contacted at that time during that process confirmed the information conveyed by him. That is why the events associated with "operation replacement" as described in the "Those who had the good fortune to..." paragraph of The finale/Outcome section of the post PUTTING IN YOUR BEST ACE - EDITED AND UPDATED make no sense at all. This was a classic example of reconciling past expedient actions carried earlier under pressure and for this action in my opinion my former colleague became one of the first victims of the "free loader cause" types in their quest for fleeting "legitimacy by doing all the wrong things without realizing that CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR IS NOT THE PATH TO AUTHENTICITY WHEN THE WILL OF GOD IS INVOLVED - UPDATED. Item number 11 in the post WHEN SACRIFICING IS IMPLEMENTED BY DECREE - UPDATED describes some of the associated details of his passing and family.
- When I first arrived at the DAEC, I made the mistake of telling co-worker who had engaged me in conversation, that I prayed before making my decisions because of the gravity involved as my responsibility was ensuring that equipment required to be relied upon to function for accident mitigation to protect the health and safety of the public was capable of doing so. Needless to say the worker reported what I thought was a private conversation in the "right" places and sometime thereafter all including me were subjected to KSF Management training, which "hallmark" included conducting one's pattern like all others around you that included the familiar "blindfold" test and then relying on others to "catch" you before falling. I was not impressed. Now I know that this entity that wanted me to act like all others around me was in effect "stealing my identity". How noble of them to request such of me, while stealing and transferring my identity, history, qualifications and accomplishments to "free loaders" in their ranks at all levels. It was at that point that my decision was made to let my actions "speak" for themselves and accompanying words from me were not needed; that is why afterwards I chose that course of action as a pattern for my life, actions primarily and few words, unless really necessary because words without corresponding actions are meaningless.
- Therefore, when faced with the decision about, which direction should be chosen when faced with information discovered to be accurate, that had been earlier discounted by me, as discussed in the post THE MAKING OF A GENUINE HERO (EDITED AND UPDATED)!, I chose to follow the path that had been ("second-nature") to me, rather than continue with other specified plans and then took the time to explain my decisions to others who may not have understood. However, recognizing that my actions carried certain implications various allowances were included to address those eventualities, hoping that any such individual involved would recognize the significance of my decision and realize that this was a course that could not be ignored, by me, and at the same time, inform those who need to be informed.
The offer of volunteer assistance, which is included in the post THE PREMISE BEHIND THE "FLAWED" LEGISLATION - UPDATED, DOES NOT represent a return to the previous services offering but generically addresses why this one time only offer was made as documented in the post and referenced elsewhere on the Pages of this Blog in an attempt to encourage one with the courage to do what's right for the cause of Lois and the rest of the "Chisholm family inclusive"though unpopular, as documented in the post HONORING GOD AND RESPECTING OTHERS PRACTICALLY - UPDATED.
