Question:

I steal a question from Guru. Is there such a thing as an honorable death and must one's philosophy allow it?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, there is such a thing as an honorable death. If one dies fulfilling one's duty, particularly in the face of adversity, then one has died honorably. In this situation the individual is compelled by his/her philosophy to allow for an honorable death. Fulfilling one's duty even in the face of death is, perhaps, the most honorable state attainable.
