Loyalty

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.

Half-Empty or Half-Full?

Are you a glass half-empty or a glass half-full type?

What if you saw the glass and thought, “Huh, it’s a glass doing what a glass does.”

Do you ever wonder what tread you leave on another when you live life as if they are a half-empty glass?

Who really is being half-empty? What do you suppose the return on your investment on that is?

Conversations for another day:
Who’s the glass?
What if you’re the glass?

Of course if you Google “glass half-full,” you’ll find the funny stuff, too!
