Yes I still would, even if they tortured me day and night long using chainsaws and molten hot pitchforks. How much of a difference would it make to me in what is in my heart? Absolutely None.
The reason being is that I don't see true honour and respect as being something that is given out or taken as a commodity to make other people feel better or worse. True honour and respect are not meant to be given to the other person, they are for you, so that you will be at peace with the world around you. So no matter how painful life gets, how poor one may be, how much they have been oppressed, their spirit will always stay strong and will be able to endure any sort of challenge, as you will be able to see beauty even during life's ugliest moments.
