Like all human behavior, honor must be evolutionary advantageous, or built into our makeup by God. (Take your pick.) Possibly both. Otherwise, we wouldn't indulge in it. Can't speak to God's reasons. He doesn't confide in me on such matters. But, I can reason that leaders and warriors who follow the rules would promote a saner, more stable society than rule by power-mad thugs who simply take what they want, whenever they want it.
Very good point, rules are thought to-day to be restrictive when codes of conduct are meant as you said to promote sanity. Chuck the rules out and you get madness, keep ‘em and you get a healthy society.
