In this episode, we discuss the importance of being loyal to your friends, family, and enemies. Reputation is largely based on your ability to be loyal or not be loyal, and in a messed up world, we should strive to live lives where that imbalance is not possible.

00:00:00.000 You being a champion for our gods and for our AFA and our folk should benefit your family and does in countless ways.
00:00:12.300 It benefits and strengthens your family's hymenia.
00:00:15.140 It wins favor from our gods towards not just you, but those associated with you.
00:00:21.400 One of the biggest things about building reputation, and this is one of the other, like our topic tonight is literally endless.
00:00:27.520 because it's the root of so many things.
00:00:31.580 Reputation is largely based on your ability
00:00:35.020 to be loyal or not be loyal.
00:00:37.580 That's a fundamental to most reputation things.
00:00:41.180 There's a skill reputation,
00:00:43.720 but the character reputation,
00:00:45.700 you being a person who's true to their word,
00:00:47.480 you being somebody who's trustworthy,
00:00:50.240 that meant everything.
00:00:51.080 If you win fame for standing up
00:00:54.220 and being loyal to our folk and our gods,
00:00:56.700 the gods will bless you and your family for that.
00:01:01.160 And it's not as easy to see or to add into a checkbook,
00:01:05.220 but it's real and it's fundamental and it's touched my family in very, very many ways.
00:01:11.420 So that's a thing.
00:01:12.280 That should never be, that's never a real thing.
00:01:15.660 And if you feel like it is, it's not.
00:01:18.000 You're just not really looking at it through the right lens.
00:01:23.160 And there's things situationally.
00:01:24.540 Obviously like, oh man, I need to go to the Hoff and do something. Uh-oh, my child broke their arm. I need to take them to the hospital. Clearly one's an emergency and one's not. Like there's common sense. But to throw that out and to hide behind that as an excuse is ignoble most times.
00:01:43.660 Now, we live in a messed up world, and there may be something to where competing values are pitted against each other, but we should strive to live lives where that imbalance is not possible.
