About Loyalty

-Definition: firm and not changing in your friendship with or support for a person or an organization, or in your belief in your principles.

-Reasons for the existence of the term: we needed a word to express a noble feeling that we have towards our friends and things that we love or find important.

-Ways to get it: being a good friend and treating others well, having a lot of power, having a lot in common with someone. You can actually buy it, but when acquired like that it is much more fragile and fake.

-Ways to maintain it: you can maintain it being loyal yourself and always being in contact with people who you would like to keep a strong bond.

-Ways one could use it: loyalty can be used to create groups to make it easier to achieve common goals, like in a team, or an organization.

-Ways one could lose it: loyalty is hard to get, but very easy to lose. If you don't demonstrate interest in the relationship and don't show that you are just as loyal as the other person you are possibly going to get more distance between you two.

-How it affects people: it feels great to find that someone is really loyal to you because you know that you can always trust that person, so we always seek loyalty. It's also good to be loyal to someone, feel that a person needs you, feel helpful.

-Anything else you can think of: there are cases of unconditional loyalty, specially with pets.

-How your term is connected with another: as I have mentioned it, power can bring you the loyalty from a lot of people very easily, but then again this kind of loyalty is much more fragile than the one that is mutual and between friends.
