loyalty to me is sticking by someone even if they are really messed up and doing stupid things even if they are a pain
loyalty is not running off like a chicken if your friend was getting beat up. loyalty is knowing what is right and doing it even if it costs your job and causes massive problems.
loyalty is really just not giving up on your belives or your friends or family or country and helping them or it now helping might not be what they or it seems to want but you would do it anyway
if your friend was hooked on drugs with no where and no one to turn to you would still be there not helping him get drugs but still there . and if its your country and it needs help you help thinking of your country as the people not the goverment . i would not help the goverment no matter what but the people yes.

Loyalty, one can surmise, began with fellow-feeling for one's family, gene-group and friends. Loyalty comes most naturally amongst small groups or tribes where the prospect of the whole casting out the individual seems like the ultimate, unthinkable rejection.

In a feudal society, centered on personal bonds of mutual obligation, accounting for precise degrees of protection and fellowship can prove difficult. Loyalty in these circumstances can become a matter of extremes: alternative groups may exist, but lack of mobility will foster a personal sense of loyalty.

The rise of states (and later nation states) meant the harnessing of the "loyalty" concept to foster allegiance to the sovereign or established government of one’s country, also personal devotion and reverence to the sovereign and royal family.

Wars of religion and their interminglings with wars of states have seen loyalty used in religious senses too, involving faithful support of a chosen or traditional set of beliefs or of sports representatives. And in modern times marketing has postulated loyalties to abstract concepts such as the brand. Customer churn has become the opposite of loyalty, just as high treason once stood as the opposite of the same idea. Compare loyalty card.

Loyalty is also seen in business in a variety of ways. As governments have grown in size and scope, some people are more loyal to a company rather than to a country. As corporation complexity has grown, people have shifted their loyalties to individuals rather than companies. As those individuals move between companies, they often take other people with them. Stock options are one method devised to keep people loyal to a company.

Loyalty is the love of my dog. She loves me if I'm tired or cranky, or pissy, or if I ignore her to focus on myself. I have no doubt she'd die to save me. Her love is powerful...almost overwhelming sometimes. She makes me feel better when nobody else cares to. She forgives me endlessly as long as she knows I'm doing the best I can (which is true--I don't abuse her, though I'm not always perfectly nice and patient.) She never holds a grudge (unlike my cat, who sulks for days if I yell at her, which I only do if she f*cks up my stuff or kills a fish or something. Man, that little ***** wouldn't talk to me for *days* after I got on her case for killing my betta fish--she dumped the tank over and soaked the rug and ate the fish. She hid out under my bed or under chairs until she decided to "forgive" me--and *she* was the killer! All I did was lock her in the bathroom with her food and water and litterbox because I couldn't stand to look at her!)

Loyalty means staying around as long as you're not in danger and you're not being abused in any way. My dog loves me and trusts me and forgives me and looks up at me with her sweet doggy eyes with their white eyelashes...loyalty is a warm puppy, to paraphrase Charlie Brown.

Most humans can't stand to be as loyal as a dog. So that's why I define loyalty by my dog's standard. Anybody who was as loyal as my dog would be a wonderful person indeed. (I'll admit, my therapist comes close.)
