There’s a large difference between being loyal and being trapped. It took me a lot of thinking to come up with this. This is a pretty loaded topic, too. “Loyalty and Loyalty to the company. Loyalty to your spouse and…” The fact is, loyalty has one important aspect that must be there or it does not work. Loyalty must be reciprocal. it must be equal on both sides. If it is not equal — if someone is always winning and someone is always losing — that’s not loyalty. You’re just being abused. Your good nature, often, is being abused, by that company, that person or whatever. Loyalty should always be a situation of equality — at least as much as it can be.
