Is Honor Worth Dying For?

I think it really depends on one's personality and settings. For knights in the medieval period, all of them would say that honor is of course worth dying for. If they think that their honor is trampled by other people, they'll fight till death only for that invisible thing. In modern society, people think and act differently. Some people think that honor isn't important at all. They will think that honor cannot bring them food, bring them money, bring them warmth or anything they need to survive. However, there are still some people who think that honor is very important. These people like officers and politicians think that honor is their dignity, and nobody should flout their dignity. People who have strong self-esteem think that honor is worth dying for, but others think that to live is more important than any other things. To me, maybe because I never meet any conditions that I need to die for my honor, I think that honor is important, but is not worth dying for.
