Why are we loyal?
Why are we loyal when we know it isn't deserved?
What is the price of your loyalty?
Does it cost more for those who do not deserve, but can still afford it?
Is it still loyalty if there are pre-determined lines and limits to the affinity?
I watch people slave away for the idea regardless of who is actually holding the whip. Add that to the new concept of "Keeping your job is the new raise." And I really wonder what they are slaving away for...the hope of building something better of the fear of not being able to maintain what they have already built.
I am no different. Despite my best efforts I still find myself bending over backwards for people who probably don't deserve it. I am starting to wonder if I am short selling my loyalty. But at the same time I feel so guilty when I don't give it. So what have the big anonymous "They" done to make me feel so beholden to them?
Needless to say, I am struggling.
