Loyalty, Trust And Everything In-between.

Every relationship no matter what kind it is will not thrive well if there is no loyalty and trust. Loyalty is a feeling of strong support for someone or something. Trust on the other hand is an assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, truth of someone or something. Both words certainly go hand in hand.

For instance, take the relationship between a mother and her child. The mother is loyal to her child in the sense that she strongly supports her child and the child trusts the mother to support him/her.

What happens when trust is lost? Losing trust in someone is quite a serious issue. You lose that assured reliance you had in that person’s capabilities and virtues. Some people find it difficult to trust any other person probably because of the old saying, “Once bitten, twice shy”.

It is actually not an easy task to put your trust in someone because you never know when they will turn against you but it is best to put your trust in something or someone that you know will never turn against you no matter what happens. I will leave you to figure that out yourself.

Looking at loyalty and trust in a romantic relationship between a consenting man and woman (consenting is used here because it is really important), it is quite safe to say that these are two very important factors to consider when it comes to making the relationship work. You are in a relationship because you trust each other and are ready to be the number one supporter of each other.

Supporting each other does not necessarily mean that you take care of basic needs, it could mean you are there to help when one of you is down, to give that morale that the other needs to continue with whatever good thing he or she is doing.

Every relationship needs loyalty and trust because they are important but do be careful of who you put your trust in. You never know who is out to get you and who is genuinely there to help. Also, know who is worth your loyalty and who is not. You certainly do not want to support the wrong person.

Finally, I leave you with the wise words of Stephen Covey. "Be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, you will build the trust of those who are present."

Would you willingly be loyal to someone whether you knew them really well or not?

How often do you put your trust in others?
