Truth and Honor

Why do they say that the two respectful top hitters for dying are Truth and Honor? Personally I really don’t think it matters a whole hell of a lot what you die for because in a nutshell you are DEAD. And anything after dying just doesn’t hold a whole lot of water in my book. Well, not for the dead person anyway…

I mean wouldn’t it be a whole lot more beneficial if one were to just get slightly messed up for Truth and Honor instead? Perhaps just a really bad sprained ankle or something. That way at least everyone could stand around the hospital bed and say things like:

-Wow dude that was really close and most honorable.
or
-I sure wish I could be as courageous.
or
-Man you picked up some mean air on that one.
or
-Wow, dude, Truth is rocking on.

But dying for truth and honor… well then all you have afterwards is a funeral and do you really, really in a hundred years think that after the fat lady sings someone is going to say. “At least he died honorably.”

I think not, for to die for Truth and Honor is something they say when someone wants you to fight someone else in the name of something abstract.

Rather silly if you ask me.

Agree, I would much rather die of old age.
