Why is loyalty important?

How important is principle/honor to you? More important than loyalty? When and why?

  • Answer:

    Loyalty is superficial if it betrays one's conscience. To be disloyal to your conscience is most dishonorable. My conscience is within my keeping and my keeping alone. When all is said and done I cannot then say, "I was told by others to do thus", nor even if I could would it suffice. Loyalty to one's own principles therefore are more essential to keeping than the keeping of superficial loyalty subject to the whim of others to dispose of. “My principle is to do whatever is right, and leave the consequences to Him who has the disposal of them” –Thomas Jefferson

I cannot be loyal to someone who abandons principle, so I would say that honor is more important to me than loyalty.

Honor and Loyalty are both more bad things than good. Honor is about clinging to traditions and stereotypes of behavior. Loyalty is about conformance and obedience. It is great for the leaders, awful for the followers. Principles are good, but not when they are clung to universally. Every situation needs to be evaluated on it's own merits, based on human rights and rational thought.
