Commentary
In his book “From Within I Rise,” T. F. Hodge wrote, “One owes loyalty, only, to those who demonstrate in kind.” Loyalty is one of human nature’s most admirable traits. It’s wonderful to be able to trust someone implicitly, knowing he will stick by you no matter what. However, this quote reminds us of loyalty’s flipside. We must bestow it carefully, because it’s important to know where our loyalties should lie. When placed between loyalty to two separate people, how do you know which to honor? The answer lies in these wise words. Study each person’s actions and determine who would stand by you in a similar situation.
