Exams are all over. I did crappily, if you're interested. Anyway, now that those helljobs are out of my way, I am more bored than a sniper out of bullets, so in the interests of reloading my fun gun, I have decided to post yet again.
The subject of this post is quite simple. Loyalty. What it is, why its important and what I'm gonna do to you if you're ever disloyal to me. Let's all settle down now class, because if you don't get this, there will be catch-up classes. And believe me, you DON'T want me to be the guy in charge of loyalty catch-up classes. That's cuz I take this loyalty crap pretty damn seriously. I hate myself when I'm disloyal and I hate others who are disloyal. Needless to say there's an awful amount of self hate here. And you guys wonder why I don't smile more often.
Anyway, you guys probably think dogs are loyal. You'd be right, I suppose, but I think of dog loyalty as more of a kind of mindless cult following where you are the god of its life. Imagine that. For those of you who've always wanted to play god, get a dog. Actually, don't. I fear for the dog.
Anyhooooo...... I think loyalty should be a consious decision, and it is because of this that I don't believe dogs are truly loyal. At least not until science tells us they can consciously think. Then again, who would consiously think of drinking out of a toilet and crapping on the lawn? But I digress......
Loyalty is a consious effort. That's the only reason why people would find it hard to be loyal. If it was mindless dogfollowing, it wouldn't be difficult at all. Its because loyalty requires you to consiously remind yourself that you are a servant of whoever or whatever that it becomes hard. Well, harder for some than most, but it still takes effort.
......Well, now we know loyalty takes effort. But wait!!! I see a hand raised in the back of the class. Yes? 'What is loyalty?' Good question.
Loyalty is a commitment. Most of the time, it stems from love. It is required to maintain healthy relationships and is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY if you don't want to get slapped by your girlfriend/boyfriend. Well, more of girlfriends. If a guy slaps, its probably a good thing he left you. But back on track now, it is intangible, it is a mindset and more often that not, it requires some amount of sacrifice. When you are loyal to someone, you serve that person. Not only serve, but follow, love and protect. Hope that answers your question.
Now, to help you all absorb what I'm talking about, let me give you guys a real life example. Since I don't live anybody else's life, I'm gonna pull this example out of my own ass.
Now, I have a mei mei to whom I'm DEATHLY loyal to. In my own words, 'I would rather face a firing squad than to consiously betray you. Scratch that, I would rather face down the army, navy and air force with them in front and a cliff behind [than] to have to turn against you.' Breaks your heart doesn't it? Best part is, I was telling the truth. That is basically what loyalty is. To make the consious choice to never betray or turn against someone no matter what the circumstance. That's true loyalty. That's something we all should try and have.
Now, the thing with loyalty is that you got to have it to the correct things. Being loyal to an evil bitchslut who abuses you at every opportunity and who takes every chance to kill your spirit is NOT a good thing. Shocking news, I know, but its the truth. Now, loyalty to your family is an EXCELLENT trait to have. Even if your family is drunk. Be loyal to your family, be loyal to your friends, be loyal to the poeple who love you, and while you're at it, love them back.
There we go. Hope I've made my point clear. What exactly my point was, I forgot somewhere in the third paragraph, but I'm sure I had one somewhere. Anyway, I have run out of stuff to say and I'm being distracted by War of the Worlds, so I'm gonna stop now.
