A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD

Loyalty can be a positive or a negative quality. It’s always worth taking a closer look when someone claims that attribute.

Loyalty is only as good as the person, group, or cause for which the loyalty is given.

Sometimes it’s completely worthy, but it can also be toxic.

Loyalty to an abusive individual because they haven’t done anything to you or because you’re family… TOXIC. You’re complicit in the perpetuation of abuse.

Loyalty to someone who did you that big favor but is actively destructive with others… TOXIC. Plato said: Silence is consent.

Examine the loyalty. Examine YOUR loyalty.
