What is the hierarchy of loyalty??

What does loyalty mean to you?

To whom do you feel, or owe, most loyalty and to whom/what the least???

Do you feel you ought to be loyal to your homeland, parents, partner, children, workplace, bosses, football team.....the list can be endless!!

Do you feel the ultimate loyalty to God or to "Me, myself and I"

What do you learned debaters feel on this - would love to read your thoughts

(Mods - please feel free to tie in with earlier debate topic should it exist😊)

you or God... are those the only choices...left?

I am loyal to beautiful girls...extremely loyal...😊😆

why am I not in the least bit surprised by your response Qwert! 😆

Nah....you and God are not the only choices!

Just my weird way of trying to illiustrate the two extremes, loyalty to you as opposed to loyalty to what you believe, for e.g. what God would want you to be loyal to.

Boy am I sinking here.........and it's my topic!!

So here's a quandary for you Qwert - and anyone else who cares to answer - loyalty to longstanding beautiful friend (who happens to be girl) or loyalty to even more beautiful girl???

Its actually me myself and my needs (of the hour) 😛

Thankfully we don't have to make a choice everyday that excludes a lot of things. 😊

Nice topic MM ji!

What does loyality mean?

Being like the Vodafone dog...........

I mean supporting, helping in the times of need....without thinking about the profits is part of loyality according to me😊

Regarding being loyal.....

I hate the term loyality......I can support anyone but cannot be loyal...in the name of loyality I cannot do things which are against my conscience..

Most of the times people behave loyally because they have no other option

We need to be Loyal to Our ownself and I'm the God. Aham Brahmasmi...😛

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeers,

Myth

By this you equate loyalty to blind faith....not sure if that's how I see it - and this is my point about hierarchy.

To illustrate my point, I could be loyal to for example the Army, my colleagues therein. In battle, I would help them if injured, maybe risk my own life doing so. That's loyalty.

But if I saw, for example, a wounded enemy soldier who was no threat to me but needed urgent medical attention I may help him - why? because I beleiev I have to be loyal to say some inherent or reliegious belief that precerves the sanctity of life and to help others in need.

In this circumstance, the loyalty to ones faith is higher than that to one's preofession or colleagues.

I dont think being loyal requires you to do unconsionable things, but it does require you to assess their hierarchy.

Most of the times people behave loyally because they have no other option

We need to be Loyal to Our ownself and I'm the God. Aham Brahmasmi...😛 Lot to be daid for that! If you cant be loyal to yourself, youre no good to anyone!

Cheeeeeeeeeeeeers, Good debating with you Myth, as always!😊

actually that cannot be equated to blind faith. I meant no religion(if thats what u meant by faith) tells you to help a wounded enemy soldier(never seen any religious books telling that). Its your good heart, your conscience that made you do that. So thats makes you loyal to your conscience.
My opinion is this is also the same.. i am loyal to my conscience. Even if GOD comes in front of me n ask me to do something., i'll not do it, if my conscience says its wrong.

When I referred to "blind faith" I didnt mean religion! Sorry if it came across that way!!

It was meant purely in the sense of belief, not necessarily religious. I admit using religion as an example, but purely to distinguish the different types of "loyalty" and the difficulties that may have to be encountered in trying to place them in a hierarchy.

Hope that clarifies!......
