Are you loyal to your family and friends? Do you try and be there for them when they need you? Are a helpful person? I think it's important for me to keep my priorities straight. I think that being there for family and friends is very important. We never know what tomorrow will bring so I feel it's important for my family and friends to know that I care.

Loyalty is very important to me. However, don't question loyalty with blindly following everyone on a self destructive path. There are going to be times where I agree with someone and there are going to be other times where I tell them that they are wrong. Therefore it is rather going to be unfair to say the very least to not let them know. Of course, I wouldn't stab someone in the back at a crucial moment. But sadly, there are many that at the slightest inconvenience. That is really the sad thing when that happens, but it does tend to happen more often than we would like to admit. There is a very cutthroat environment out there. I just hope that I never become like that in my entire life.

It is sad that so many people stab others in the back when difficulties arise. It sad to see that happen and it happens quit often. I also hope that you never become like that. There have been people who we would think wouldn't be like that who change. I hope that I as well stay the way I'm.

Yeah I think that it is a great quality to cultivate. It's not only good for us but others as well. It definitely strengthens relationships when we are loyal and vice versa. I think if more people continue to work at having this quality the happier they will be.

I believe myself to be a loyal person. I have always prioritize my duties. If anything that will help a lot of people that comes first. Next would be family as blood is always more important than any friendship you make. Of course i care for my friends more than any other individual. I do not prefer telling people how important they are to me. Action speaks louder than words. When i get a chance to prove my loyalty i like to prove it.

That is a good thing. I do agree that actions speak louder than words. It is very important that we show others that we care for them and that they are important in our lives. It goes along way in showing others that we are sincere individuals. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I agree with you that it is important to be loyal to all that we can. It means a lot to our family and friends when we are loyal and vice versa. Life is very precious but can be cut short so quickly. That it's good to let others know we care for them and to spend time with them.
