what is loyalty

A lot of people automatically assuming "loyalty" refers to relationship.

Loyalty is knowing what is important, and worth respect, then acting accordingly no matter the cost or difficulty.

Baby don't hurt me.

Don't hurt me.

I think you have to have loyalty, to appreciate it in others.

It's like hope, but less etherial, and much more steadfast.

loyal = submissive personality. totally me. how about that. hm.

Loyalty is feeling a commitment towards another. To stand by their through the darkest nights, knowing full well that they will do the same. Its having a buddies back during a fight, dropping what ever you are doing to help a friend who is hurting, its giving up your last can of beer to a friend who needs it more than you.

I'm not sure if you can even really put it into words; except to say that its being willing to put someone elses well being ahead of your own.

I've been told that I'm an increadibly loyal person and, although I don't know if thats true or not (I am sometimes the worst judge of my own actions), I can say that its one of the most important characteristics I look for in my friends. If you can't show me the basic respect which loyalty represents, than I simply don't want you around.

loyalty in friendship is something specail. i went through a breakup and could barely leave the house. i finally pulled myself together to go to ihop one morning. my friend thought she was being my good friend by telling me "hey, you should really wear makeup"

i looked at her like, wtf, but i couldn't go off at her because she truely thought she was saying the right thing. she thought she was sticking with me when i was down, but i felt like she just kicked me in the tummy. turns out she moved in with my xbf a few weeks later. i think thats funny

Loyalty belongs to oneself first. People need to get it out of their heads that putting everyone else before themselves is somehow a virtue. Rarely have I found that my doing something for someone else was mutually exclusive of my doing what I need to do for myself, unless it was something that I shouldn't have been doing for someone else in the first place (or unless it was something that I didn't really need myself).

You know who your friends are when you move house.

I believe Loyalty is a strength of character.

I'm a bit shocked to see some people percieve loyalty as a weakness. Blind faith is a weakness. Not loyalty.
It needn't be associated with a physical relationship. It stands alone.

I wholeheartedly endorse Necias statement :

I may futher expound upon that statement and say that it may be that loyalty belongs only to onesself.

If you are loyal to yourself and your own beliefs you extend that loyalty. In the same way that it is said you can't truely love someone else until you love yourself. The loyalty that you show to your country, your wife, husband, bf,gf, friends, or your gerbil is just that, your loyalty , you just show it to them.

I am as loyal to my dog as she is to me, but she does not give me her loyalty, she shows it to me. It is a trait inherent in her character.
A good one I might add.

Thank you; you put that much more beautifully than I could. Nice to see some like minded folks out there!

i believe the same way that you do so that why i start is topic
in the first place

Loyalty is a kick-ass song by American-Head Charge.

Loyalty - being true to that of which somebody believes in and not abandoning it for an unjust cause or persuasion - thats just a thought

That is the truth !..Their reward is pizza and a case of beer right ?

Exactly.

Loyalty is acting the same way when a person is not around that you do when you are with them.

Loyalty is being willing to drop what you are doing to help them if they need it, and doing it because you know they would do the same for you, not because of some desire to make them love you more.

I had no idea that loyalty was a crappy, overrated writer of boring novels.

Yep, but in Australia it converts to snags on the barbie and a carton of beer!

darn double posting!

Well said sir. There is absolutely no need for me to elaborate when it has been written so eloquently.
Kudos
