In Loyalty, I believe! : A rarely precious quality
Imagining the situation where a close friend leaves you all alone, even though you helped him in his/her toughest time leaves you in a mess. Though, it is very hard to determine the difference between a real and fake friend, we have no other alternative to look. We must stay alert, 24X7.
Loyalty is very rare these days. People tend to look more opportunities in this growing world. Obviously, there is a big competition among people in this fast paced world, hate also increases owing to the threat people think we can posses.
Here goes my story. During my board exams I came across a guy Mr. Vallabh. Now this Mr. Vallabh was very cute looking guy as well as very loyal to whomsoever comes in contact with him. I was broken at that time as I realized my closest friends from the beginning of my childhood were just using me. I cried a lot in the corner thinking about this. But God always has something good in store for you.
I cannot describe in words how friendly and loyal he was to me. I enjoyed his company, was pleased to be in and around him. Of course, the friend circle is incomplete without a troika, so another guy Mr. Tushar was also included.
Mr. Tushar was coming from a poor background. He was as much as loyal to our circle but was also a bold guy. Though he was bold and had connections everywhere, he couldn’t take things personally on himself as he usually broke down.
But it was their loyalty towards me, and I decided to return the same favor to them. We were a group of happy individuals up there, but when we separated, we still miss one another. Such is the bond of close friends. The more you separate them, the more they unite. But most of the people are not as good enough to pay you in exchange for your loyalty.
Many times, the loyal guys end up on a losing side. It feels like there is no other way out of the loss, and there is the rise of bad and fall of good. I consider myself special because I have this loyalty skillset in me, but this skill set has caused me much more trouble in later years, the trouble which I couldn’t have imagined in my entire life.
Let me illustrate. When you care too much about someone or something, you get attached to it. And when the person is attached, it is very difficult to let it forget. When the betrayal comes up at this point, it hurts like hell. People take advantage of you because you tend to trust them. Everybody in this world has its own set of weaknesses. The only thing we mess up is that we expose those to the wrong person.
Sometimes it also matters how many people are there standing up for you. In 99.9% of cases, they are not. But my only advice I that, be loyal, you will be rewarded one day. It may take an infinite amount of time for that, not changing the sides matter a lot, even if they force you.
A single person in your group can result in your downfall. If he is an informant or a traitor, you may not identify at first glance. So it is very difficult to trust anybody in this world. Mostly the same person can bring your whole cruise ship to a shipwreck. We will talk about this topic later.
Sometimes I wonder, what makes people defecate to another side. Why people can’t remain loyal to the clan they were supposed to be. Well, this world is full of evil people. The dark energy is slowly consuming the people to show their other hidden faces to the world. In most cases, they are the very intelligent ones; they create games in their way, the way where there is no easy way out. In this situation, we always need to play the same game, the opponent played upon us. This requires a cool head and intelligent thinking, the factors we generally lose in the fit of rage and anger, the same fit we gain after we fail in the game.
I have met many snakeheads in my life and fortunately, I have taken so many lessons from them. These snakeheads are destroying their lives in one or the other way, but who can stop the flow of life. If the opponent is strong and intelligent, the web he entangles into is the most venomous and it is very difficult to get out of it. He sets you into one trap, simultaneously he sets another trap. Once you figure a way out of one trap, the next is rightfully set and you are well entangled in it. I still hate that people do some bad things for their gains. At this point in life, only one of them has realized that he did some wrong things to me, but he is too late to apologize, so he is filled with shame, but the particular guy cannot show it to the world. I am sure others will soon realize the fact, so keep calm and believe in Karma.
Be loyal, you will make enemies, but at the same time be crafty and snakehead, this gives an immediate advantage to your clan. Last but not the least, try to remain good friends like Mr. Tushar and Mr. Vallabh.
