Honor's Paradox

[rolanni]

If you honorably serve a dishonored master, is your personal honor unsullied?

Discuss, with examples.


ETA: Lotsa people ducking the question here. Interesting.

The only exception I can think of is if public opinion says the master was dishonorable, but you know he/she was honorable.

So you could think you were acting honorable even after the public thinks you were dishonorable, until you discovered you were wrong.

It would still kind of suck knowing you were honorable and everyone think you were dishonorable. Of course it would suck even more to find out you honor was sullied thru no fault of your own. People have killed for that.
