My word tells you to honor all men. Do you think it is enough to be civil to them? That is only a start. It is not enough to be polite. Good manners are necessary, but honor requires more. Do you take a genuine interest in the people you meet, inquiring about their interests and allowing them to choose topics of conversation? Do you refrain from offering negative opinions about things important to them? You know how to show honor to those you admire, or who outrank you, or whose favor you seek. My commandment just requires you to show the same behavior to those to whom you would otherwise be indifferent.
