Loyal or Codependent?

it has been an interesting season. lots of challenges, tons of lessons, good resolution for old things...god is so good.

well, one of the scenarios that i "spectatored" really prompted me to think about some situations in my own life. it was a unique situation where the word "loyal" was thrown around all over the place. people chosing to stand in defense of people, switch sides, change original positions...because of a "loyalty". it was truly fascinating.

the thing that got me thinking was this. how do we decide what we are loyal to...or to whom? do we ever choose loyalty to a person in such a way that trumps what is right...or ignores it? if that's the case, is it really "loyalty" at all?...or is it a nice way of saying "codependent"?

it's got me thinking...

i wonder if "loyalty" is a bit more complicated concept than we think.
