Your people are your people. Right, wrong, on fire — you're already in the car.
Loyalty isn't a value you hold — it's a reflex you can't switch off. The second someone's in your circle, the math is over: you'll cover for them, defend them to people who are right, and pick their side before you've even heard the facts. That's the gift and the trap. Because 'right or wrong' includes wrong, and sometimes the most loyal thing isn't the car — it's telling your person they're driving off a cliff. You confuse staying with helping. But standing by someone while they hurt themselves isn't loyalty; it's just being there for the crash.
Get your read — free on iPhoneyou don't decide to be loyal — it's already done before you've heard the facts. the question isn't whether you'll stay. it's whether staying is even helping.
