...and about honor

In the following lines, I like how Lackey brings the grey areas into her definition as well - where included by the words 'also' and 'unless'... She brings the a little bit of realism into what is largely an idealistic concept...

Honor was never taking the easy way when it was also the wrong one. Never telling a falsehood unless the truth was painful and unnecessary, or a lie was necessary to save others. Never manipulating the truth to serve only yourself. Protecting the weak and helpless; standing fast even when fear made you weak. Keeping your word.
