You’re right.. sensitivity and love. Perhaps, for starters, I must not be reckless with my words, or how I choose to express myself. Sometimes in the heat of the moment, I tend to do some really stupid things or say the dumbest stuff which end up hurtful. Gosh, the things I do to be cool.. nah, not really.. ;)

One of the main reasons why I’m contemplating this, is because of my recent shifts in social circles. I try not to limit myself to just one clique. I enjoy getting different perspectives and input. But often times, people just like to talk about people. And I’m aghast to admit, I’m drawn to it myself. It’s really unhealthy, so I’m also working on gossiping less and keeping my mouth shut more often.

But loyalty.. it’s a pretty daunting word I must say. It was easier when you were in school, I think. You pretty much went along with your own crowd and keep out of each other’s hair. But work life, not so simple. I find myself mixing with different groups of people, folks who don’t normally get along with one another. And I get somewhat confused on where I actually stand, and to whom my loyalty is owed.

It’s true that having the company’s best interest suggest loyalty to a certain extent. But I also think that the end does not justify the means.

I have seen many things done under the headline of company’s best interest. At times, this can contradict our other core value, which is respect for the individual. It is hard not to get skeptical when these situation arises. I tell myself I should have my own opinion and not be swayed by the popular vote. But it is tough nonetheless.

I guess the same applies to friendship too. Having a friend’s best interest indicates loyalty, but like most things, it’s not what you do, it’s how you do it that makes all the difference.

Thanks for you comment SWAZ, much appreciated.. as always.

Now that’s loyal. Talk about thick and thin through the end! :) Love the image attached too, I wanna paint my face with a black stripe like that for the longest time.. seriously.
