In today market place do we really ahve any Loyality anymore withen our society or even in the work place or in the Dojo, dojaang or workout area? What is loyality in a society that does not practice what it preaches to others. Can we even truely be loyal to those that teach and mold us into better human beings? If so how and if not why?
We should only place loyalty where it is naturally deserved. It should never be given where it is demanded as that is always false.
Most of the loyalty in our world is a falsehood based on structure, system and robotic patterns of behavior.
Loyalty is UNNECESSARY in the dojo. Why should I be "loyal" to my teacher and my class? How would it even be possible to be DISloyal to them? This isn't 16th century china - I am not likely to be "disloyal to my sensei" by helping the enemy sensei assassinate him.
If I want to train at another club, is that disloyal? No. that is just training where I wish, when I wish.
Loyalty is something that exists within oneself. To look for it elsewhere is unnecessary. Learn to be self-sufficient and you won't long for loyalties.
