Well we know we are people who trusts and can be trusted by our friends, and family... of course. well have you ever thought somehow to whom will you give your loyatly? Say you will change your mind about a job and switch companies, right and that sure meant you are not loyal to the company... what about relationships? Have you ever thought of this before, to whom are you most loyal? to yourself maybe?

I can only rely so much on anybody but GOD. I mean, I am also guilty when it comes to loyalty issues for every once in a while I do this "balimbing" thing. Especially on my stand on certain issues like movie stars and some of my friends who aren't friends at all. When it comes to my job, I have been employed here for three years now.. and counting! That I guess is a strong determinant of how loyal I am to the company that I am currently employed to.

My loyalty of course is always with my family and myself. Other people are just my second priority when it comes to loyalty. I have to keep with my family because they are those who could understand me always.

I think that to an extent, no matter what, I have to do what's best for me. Granted, helping others could be what's best for me a lot of the time, but there are times where if something is going to put myself in peril, then I have to think about the person who looks back at myself. I mean, aren't I not the person whose life I can screw up the most because of a bad decision? I think that loyalty to yourself should come first, due to one simple fact. If you can't be loyal to yourself, then how can you really expect yourself to not to betray other people at a crucial moment. An internal conflict often times will mature right into the real world. Loyalty can be something that starts from within and then branches out to other like friends, family, whatever.

My loyalty still lies with my family. Friends or co-worker can turn against you when hardtimes came, but families (wife, and child) will still be there even during the hard times.

I am loyal to my family whom are loyal to me at the same time,but the jobs in the same way that they are not loyal with me, because as soon as they find a person with a better resume and who is in the disposition to work for less money, so they fire me, so for them not loyalty and my family yes all my loyalty.

Over the years I've found that being loyal only leads to being betrayed. Right now I think the only people deserving of my loyalty is my son and my pets. (Okay, so pets are not people, but they are not going to betray me.)

hehe well i guess that is right. :D people are always capable of betraying us, unlike of course pets who are always very loyal to us, especially if you have thought them and made them feel that you love them, some people are indeed weird, making them feel loved and well trusted can sometimes make them want to just betray you. hehe

To me first, I've been building a set of rules my whole life so I follow them even when they are difficult to, that's what makes me sleep well at night. I used to feel terrible guilty when I was a child, after creating and following my rules (the list continues to grow) I sleep well since I was a teenager. I'm also loyal to friends and love relation, and I don't give out people's secrets. I even have few secrets of people that are no longer friends. But in that point in time I promised so, as much as sometimes I wanted to break as a revenge, for example of someone who stabed me in the back it was a part of the rule so I never broke the secrecy.

putting of loyalty both in career and love are still the same,but because of the influence of other people or some things that surrounds you it will change,and now a days few people who still have this loyalty to their partner.loyalty will begone when the love will also gone.

where is your loyalty?good question.just recently our hospital administration is in the buzz because of the controversy surrounding the infraction they incurred by violating the Labor code. someone, as alleged, reported to the Department of Labor that a personnel right has been violated by the hospital. finally somebody stood up for us.if you ask me, where is your loyalty?i will still be loyal to the hospital because they provided me a job.
