figure out if loyalty is truly over-rated

..and what it means to me.

It’s about keeping secrets and promises, no matter what. About fighting temptation and knowing when to keep my mouth shut.

It’s about seeing and discussing only the good things about my friends and peers, even if it’s so much more fun to gripe and whine.

It’s about pushing back those doubts in my head, and marching forward based on faith and a shared vision.

Can one still be loyal to the organization one works for?

Do friends stay loyal until the end, or does time change us and we wear each other out and loyalty becomes a non-isse then?

How do you become loyal? With changing allegiance and pacts, shifting circumstances, can one truly be loyal?

What does being loyal to a friend truly means? If someone said something about my friend, I should stick up for my friend right.. but what if the negative comment seems to have just cause? Am I obliged to tell my friend about this?

I know I used to be fiercely loyal to my friends, but now I’m not sure anymore, and I’m somewhat ashamed to admit this.
