When is Loyalty to myself more important than loyalty to a friend?


Loyalty in my opinion is being honest and staying true to yourself. Being loyal to a friend is being honest and keeping it real with that person no matter in happiness or sad. In order to be loyal to a friend you have to be loyal to yourself. Becoming loyal to yourself takes time. You have to be honest and most caring to yourself before you can anyone else. "Loyalty is the pledge of truth to oneself and others". (ADA VELEZ-BOARDLEY) That quote is saying in order to be honest and tru to someone else you have to come to terms with yourself first. I believe Loyalty strengthen the heart and scares the mind. It takes time to process loyalty because you have to be willing to be honest with yourself all the time. Honesty is hard, thats why we lie about things we dont even mean to. Sometimes It seems easier to be loyal to someone else than it is yourself. Your able to be there for someone else better than you are yourself. Sometimes its easier to be honest with someone esle than it is yourself because of how you handle it. Loyalty to myself is more important than a friend when Im in time of need. When I need someone to be there for me in situations, what better person than myself mentally and emotionally. If Im Not mentally stable then Im not able to handle the situation to the best of my ability. If i can be there 100% for someone else then i know i can be there 110% for myself.
