Question of the Day: Day 115

What does loyalty mean to you?
Would you be loyal to a person (or country) even if you thought that they were wrong about something?

Loyal doesn't mean "being a yes-man". Loyalty to a person or country means that you stand by that person in whatever decision they make, and give your honest advice along the way. But whatever decision the friend you are loyal to makes, it is your role as a loyal friend to let him make it and let him deal with the consequences of that choice, even if it means helping him heal later on.

Loyalty is an important thing. I try to be as loyal as I can. Not blindly following, but if my friend screws up, I will let him know and try to help pick up the pieces. Loyalty isn't following him in stupidity, its supporting him afterwards. Loyalty to a country is not as important. Its good to be loyal to your country, but not to let that misguide you.

In my opinion, loyalty means not turning your back on people- in good or bad times.
I tend to call things the way I see them... I consider myself to be open minded, but if I strongly feel that something is dead wrong, I will call it what it is.

Loyalty is about being there in the good times and in the bad times.

It is about being honest even when it hurts.

And loyalty is NOT about having to be right 100% of the time. We all make mistakes, even countries and governments, so loyalty doesn't just vanish if someone is wrong about something unless it is something seriously major like human rights violations.

If you are truly loyal then you see it through and you work to make things better when they stray off course.
