People do their utmost because of mutual respect, and because of the expectation of conducting repeat business - not because of honor.

Try telling your elderly parents' social worker you want to gauge their performance, because you're shopping around for someone new, and only A-players are acceptable. Then watch how much care and kindness your parents receive out of honor alone.

Going above the call of duty for "honor" is not a virtue. It's being a doormat.

I didn’t say or use the word honour even once. I simply said that everyone plays a part in creating a nice society.

Apologies, I thought your post was in a different thread. Point stands though.
