They say that some people betray or backstab each other when they have found someone much better than them despite being the oldest of friends. This has been the case throughout history, leading to wars where millions of people have perished because of a fault that lies with one leader. That leader doesn't have loyalty, so they are missing an essential component: virtue. In his book, Loyalty By Choice, Max Saintil emphasizes the importance of loyalty. The truth is that we value loyalty in various interactions with our loved ones, friends, romantic partners, colleagues, institutions, religions, and countries.
People frequently define loyalty in terms of what it is not, such as not being betrayed, deceived, or abandoned. Yet, loyalty encompasses much more than the avoidance of transgression and backstabbing. Let us learn the other value of loyalty by reading something that brings meaning to our lives.
