Loyalty
Is loyalty not considered a virtue anymore? Are we made to believe that we are supposed to take what we want, without the consideration of others? Under numerous circumstances, I've been the one to be patient and courteous, being considerate of feelings and connections I have with other people, only to find them taking from me far more than I cared to give. "Sorry, this relationship has turned from being mutually beneficial to me being a leech, and I seem to have sucked all of the blood I feel like taking out...so I'm going to move on to the next sap. Fuck our friendship, because I don't benefit enough when you don't do all of the work."
It's genuinely difficult to find people worth being friends with now, unless you've known the person for quite awhile, and have realized that they either have a similar judgment of one's character, or feel nostalgic enough to treat you decently. Please, if you've known someone even for just a few months, be mindful of what you may lose if you choose to abandon or treat them unfavorably.
Maybe it's reacting to a few life-changing incidents that have happened recently, or maybe it's an incident stretching clear back into junior high, but I feel, more and more, that everyone is clawing and tearing their way to the top, without regard for anything or anyone.
It's very lonely when you reach the pinnacle, if that's the way you choose to do business.
Seriously, I thought we'd left this juvenile shit back in high school. Is it wrong to feel that people are supposed to grow up exponentially in four or five years?
