Formal Loyalty
Loyalty, in the formal sense, is an evasive topic, in my mind. Holding strong through tough times to a bad idea, or bad person doesn’t equate with other good ideas that I have on a day to day basis. Opportunity to fix something that needs and more importantly wants fixing, if it can be fixed at all, is a different story. Going down with the ship, if you’re not the captain makes no sense at all.
Would you consider me loyal? Probably not. When the going is easy and problems don’t persist, I am likely to be distant and focused on my own life. Would you consider me caring and responsive under situations of duress? Absolutely. Random acts of kindness and thoughtfulness as well as being someone to lean on during hard times are my best qualities rather than just sticking around for the sake of having someone around.
