Loyalty from my perspective

What has come of our world ? My cup of caramel frappucino lasts longer than relationships these days. What happened to days where relationships were sacred and beautiful. The youth these days make a mockery of the word " Love". I guess the problem arises when we fail to differentiate between infatuation and pure love. In accordance to the Oxford Dictionary infatuation is very strong feeling of love or attraction for especially when these are unreasonable and doo not last long. Whilst love is defined as a strong feeling and deep attraction which arises genuinely from one.

Recently, I was asked if it was unloyal to hop on to next person when you have just parted ways from your previous relationship. Personally I think its stupid to wait for something that is not going to work out. Prior to parting ways, I am sure both parties thought through things well. I do admit there are times when people who have split up get back together. However, how often does this occur ? Life is a journey and everyone has their own story and adventure, and whether or not they want to go on that journey alone or with someone special is entirely up to them. I took a few days to think of a proper nd rational answer. Well after a few days of soul searching, I managed to come with the best answer I possibly could. Loyalty to a person is being with that person through the thick and thin, joy and melancholy, in health and sickness, and the list goes on. However, I do believe everyone has a breaking point, this breaking point is reached when the two people no longer see eye to eye. Every couple goes through this stage, if the couple can work things out, then they will share a better and more fruitful relationship and if in some cases it does not end well. After one break's up with their so-called better half, they will each go through a phase of self realisation, this is essential after every break up as you will learn how to love and embrace the most important person  - YOURSELF. Unless you learn to love yourself, how do expect others to love you. It all begins from within. After a while, you will meet another person and see how it goes. Thats life, figuring things out and just going with the flow. So no your not an unloyal person if you move on with life with another person. Moving on and adapting is vital part of life.

When you were a kid you must have liked a particular toy, for example a teddy bear but as you grew up I am sure you became fond of other things as well. Does that mean you were unloyal to your first toy? No. It means you are simply growing up and discovering the world around you. Every relationship you go through will mould you to become a better person, so that when you meet 'The One' , you will appreciate and care for the person deeply.  So this is my take on loyalty, being there for the person you are with and not fooling around.
