Loyalty; Definition.
Faithful adherence to a sovereign, government, leader, cause, etc.
Living in the United States of America I have noticed that loyalty is a very prominent factor in any politics or recent event. It tends to come up in simple decisions every day.
The Government and Leader.
The government in any country in the world is a collection of individuals who do not share the same views, political styles or religion. The individuals that run my country disagree with one another to every extent on every topic. One of the few things that these people do have in common, however, is that every time they vote, enforce a law or make a statement, how Gabriel Whittemore feels about that subject is not on their mind. In fact they are not thinking of you either. The individuals that run this country are selfish and greedy, just like me. They have no choice, do to the nature of their job, but to stick to their opinions and feelings. Their opinions and feelings about issues can change at any point. They do not deserve a faithful adherence because they are only doing what “they” think is best. It does not matter to them if you or I agree with them. Their opinion comes first, and honestly, it should. Like I said that is the nature of the job.
The Cause
There are no causes that I can follow 100% because I happen to know I don’t agree with another person on the face of the earth 100%. I will always stay on guard with any cause I agree with simply because a cause can quickly become a holy crusade or a war of freedom.
Ect.
I personally do not believe I should show loyalty to any government. Governments are groups of individuals and impossible to fully understand, they have no unified face and even if they did I would not agree with it. Showing loyalty to a group that can change in the blink of an eye is pointless.
I personally do not believe I should show loyalty to any leader. I have yet to meet one I agree with completely and I am fairly sure that he could change his mind before or after I did. No person on earth deserves loyalty because no person on earth with stay the same as when you choose to give them loyalty. A spouse can turn out to be a murderer, a friend can be a theif, ect. People are far to beautiful and unpredictable to chain with such a simple thing as faithful adherence. You never know who they really are.
I personally will follow no cause but my own. If my cause exists in parallel with another I will of course aid their cause, however it will be a rather self serving action because I am doing it because I agree with the end result.
I believe to finish this blog. I would say that if one has true love for them self, their is only room to love others, never to be loyal to others.
