I feel Integrity to be a key component of a Knight who holds Truth to his bosom; without integrity, the truth could be misconstrued- but when uttered from the lips of a man of integrity, it becomes truth on its own, unadorned.  Without Integrity, there can be no Honor.

No, we just thought it was cool to bring honor to the discussion of truth, then to move on to discussing honor as the next topic.

Nope, I've just been picking them based on whether I've thought of an interesting way to get the discussion started.

I like that...and these discussions have been worthy of a read, to the last one.

I think that, in the interest of being a good human being, you should strive to be truthful. That said, in this world, lies are necessary. Modern life could not be sustained without lies. Let's be realistic here, we as humans cannot handle 100% of the truth, 100% of the time. This is why, in my opinion, omission is a beautiful thing. It's not the whole truth, but it is not quite a lie either. If I answer a question using only the info that I thought was necessary to answer that question, that should be fine. If it is later known that I had more information than I disclosed, I can always say that you did not ask me about that. I gave you only the information that you requested of me. Lies also help avoid small and unnecessary problems in life. If it is a trivial thing that will have no significant negative impact, then I don't think that lying about it is such a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
