A sling with its stone tied in is worthless — it defeats the very purpose of the tool. Similarly, honour poured on a fool is wasted and self-defeating. Honour is a tool that only functions properly when directed at those who merit it. Misplaced honour corrupts communities.
Memory phrase: Give honour where it belongs.
Talk about it: What goes wrong when we honour the wrong person?
Prayer: God, help me honour the right people.
