It mostly depends on culture. It was honourable to the Aztecs to be
sacrificed to Quetzalcoatl, I doubt many today would feel the same.
Thieves, at one time, had a code of conduct, making some theiving
honourable and other thieving not honourable. Seppuku (harakiri) is
considered honourable in Japanese culture, but viewed as simple
suicide and damnable by the West. Roughly, honour (like good and
evil) is, like its opposite, shame, an opinion/perception and is
relative.
