Loyalty to one’s family and friends, fellow workers or classmates, can enable one to inspire feelings of confidence in others, while, at the same time; it can foster self-respect in oneself. It can offer a sense of security in a world that is ever changing and often chaotic. Loyalty is not to be applied blindly, but judiciously, as it is given to those who are honest, ethical, and sincere. Wisely applied, loyalty ennobles both the giver and the receiver.
