A Matter of "Loyalty"

Jul 30, 2007 20:08

Dear Lee Jordan,

Last day of a "four day" recovery. Tomorrow I must be back atthe office and addressing uncomfortable issues such as Polini's attitude (both his overly "friendly" behavior as well as his lack of will to actually push the envelope in seeking ways to solve a situation in a satisfactory way), the ARESEP files which remain to be paid ( Read more... )

Hm, I don't think loyalties are evident until they are tested. People can do a million and one semi-bad things to each other out of sheer laziness, greed or boredom, and it's almost impossible to deduce where loyalties (the deep ones anyway) lie without the persons confess/analyze it themselves. Also, loyalties shift, both from situations and from different periods in your life.

Talk behind my back, and who's to say you inspire my loyalty even if I still consider you my friend (depending on the nature of the shit talk), for instance? ;)

Anyway, that's my short thoughts on loyalty. :)

Here, I believe, you are talking about the loyalty towards people, and that's exactly what I condemn. (Or am I not understanding your point ( ... )

I think I might have misinterpreted your original post. ^_~* I thought the 'problem' (being not a problem, but still) was that you found it hard to see where people's loyalties lie. So my point was a pretty simple one: it's very hard (next to impossible) to really see where a person invests his/her loyalty.

I actually thought that you meant loyalty as a whole concept (although I do associate loyalty with personal relationships myself), but now I see that you mean loyalty to a cause or a certain belief or a point of view (correct me if I'm wrong). And in reference to that, I agree, loyalty does not shift as often as it tends to in relation to people (human error and all that.). I didn't mean that loyalty shifts often as in 'at least once a week' (XD), but rather that due to how people act towards one another, it's bound to shift a few times during your lifetime. (For me, there's only been one time, but as I am very serious where I place my loyalty, in relations or otherwise, once it shift it tends to... rip. Ahem.) Meaning you're ( ... )

^_^ Crystal Clear!!!

I avoid loyalty to people, both in my personal life as well as in my professional life since, being people voluble, loyalty tied to them makes you voluble as well, by default. God and ideals, however, as they are not tied to a person (they are inmaterial) tend to stay longer, therefore you are much "stable", and therefore firmer within yourself.

People also is deceiving, and like a river: changing and temporal. Why would you anchor yourself with loyalty to something like that? Wouldn't you rather chose a strong position, a rock to anchor your loyalty? Or am I being too dogmatic?

Interesting... so I'm deceiving, I have no loyalties and I'm too scary to be trusted... good thing I don't get D.Q attacks very often. But then today Im sick, so I feel a little edgy.
