Loyalty is reciprocal. Otherwise, should be named different. Maybe abuse.
We all are humans. We all can err. But when you are holding a position of loyalty, your behavior relative to others is revisited with a complex air of trustfulness that only they can feel, and you should protect carefully.
The game is on when others think you have broken that loyalty. It doesn't matter if you are in one or the other side. With the shadow of doubt permanently hanging over you, the question becomes more complicated. A brick in the wall is always dangerous.
It’s time, then, to take a step further, and reconsider what are the fundamentals of that feeling, and if you could be blinded by them. Maybe the betrayed one is not the more weaker party.
Talking in terms of loyalty, life is too complicated to explain. Sometimes we know we have been betrayed, and don’t deny our loyalty. We all deserve a second chance. But as long as we grant it to others too.
To forgive is not easy. Assuming a betrayal isn't either.
