Asatru Folk Assembly - The Value of Honor #afa #asatru #asatrufolkassembly #shorts

00:00:00.000 um you necessarily have to spend as long as it maintains its value it's a certain amount of

00:00:10.560 surety that people are willing to risk on you judging by past performance and if you justify

00:00:17.040 that by performing well in the present I don't think it's diminished or spent but in the turn

00:00:23.760 the sense of favors um very much so and i and i've used this a lot i've used this in my career as a

00:00:31.360 bouncer but i also have used it quite a bit in in the afa in settling disputes with people if the

00:00:38.800 people that i deal with uh for example when i was when i was bouncing i had a team of guys and

00:00:44.160 there's a lot of younger guys or newer guys or whatever i had earned a reputation amongst the

00:00:49.520 customers are treating people fairly of standing up and being counted in any kind of a physical

00:00:55.680 altercation that happened of dealing honorable with people so over the time if there was a

00:01:03.520 conflict and my guys were about to get in a in a spot that was over their head i could go to

00:01:09.520 you know one of the hostile customers and say hey i need you to do me a favor just go home have a

00:01:15.040 good night please favor to me please do that and some very irate samoan guys that were looking to

00:01:22.240 to really beat on some of our bouncers that had uh irritated them in some way would would calm

00:01:29.760 down would shake my hand give me a hug and just leave out of respect and i appreciate that you

00:01:35.840 know in the afa and as a gothi i've had to do a lot of counseling and we've got a lot of very

00:01:42.720 passionate people and a lot of folks that get into a lot of interpersonal conflict from time to time

00:01:49.680 that's going to happen when you have people that are emotionally invested in what we're doing

00:01:55.120 but i've also used you know taking them aside and saying hey as a favor to me could you just trust

00:02:00.640 me on this and let this slide and people are willing to do that because of reputation or the

00:02:09.520 honor that that they have assigned to me the honor that they feel that i have and uh i found that to

00:02:15.120 be really useful
