On Loyalty

Having worked with my peers on several projects, I can safely say loyalty is not well understood in this generation.

We wash our dirty linen in public. We use Timelines instead of Direct Messages and Inboxes to air our grievances.

When a friend makes a mistake, we correct him/her publicly, without giving the benefit of the doubt.

We sow seeds of discord and disunity then wonder why our generation hasn't succeeded in fixing this country.

We learn about each other via Chat, Timelines & Emails rather than in person; scarcely spending quality time. How then can we foster loyalty?

Until we move from accusation to conversation; until we stop relishing others' mis-steps and correct kindly, we're not yet on the path to loyalty.
