| The
unspoken Code. Honoured, respected, and
practiced. The Code is rarely talked about
but it's there. The Code is picked up and
instilled upon from an early age. Some live
by it, some use it only to their advantage
and others just acknowledge it's existence.
What is the Code? The Code
is the respect guys give other guys. It's
the guy's Code. It's a certain honour, a
kinship among men. There is certain things
you just don't do and the most important
one is don't disrespect the Code. It's how
we treat each other. You never knowingly
hit on another man's girl. You never leave
your friend in a fight. You never date your
friend's ex. There is certain things you
just don't do.
But not everyone follows this
code. There are many out there that will
disregard the Code. And no matter how well
you believe you're following the Code to
the letter, everyone breaks the Code from
time to time. I, myself, have been guilty
of breaking the Code on many occasions.
But I feel that on the most part, I have
follow this code as best to my ability.
Don't get me wrong, the Code
isn't a perfect system. As many problems
the Code has solved, it has caused a few
problems. So why do we follow it so? Because
in the end, it has a few underlining rules
that we all try to follow.
In the end, the Code is unexplainable.
Every guy cares a sense of the Code within
him. It's just about honour, respect and
even a bit of chivalry. For the code is
not just to respect your fellow man but
also your fellow women. |
