Yesterday, I mentioned three things I’ve been thinking about lately:
Loyalty. Respect. Common sense. Let’s start with loyalty.
It’s easy to call yourself loyal when everything is going well. I think loyalty shows itself when standing by someone—or standing by your word—becomes inconvenient.
That’s when you find out whether it means something.
Lately, though, it seems like loyalty has become conditional. Some people are loyal only as long as the relationship benefits them.
But I can show you what true loyalty looks like and he has four legs and a fur coat. He stands by me no matter what.
That’s loyalty. So let me ask you:
Has loyalty really disappeared—or have we changed what we expect it to mean?
