I wanted to ask you all to evaluate this quote by Hanna Arendt:
"Total loyalty is possible only when fidelity is emptied of all concrete content, from which changes of mind might naturally arise."
Just curious what you all think about it.

Gymnastics is about right....
Unless we are talking of a dog....
That is of course, providing no one brings a larger steak into the equation.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

To me she was talking about loyalty at the sacrifice of independant thought. Something that I think can be a problem in some areas of society.
Linguistic gymnastics?
That may be going a bit far.
But hey, who am I to judge.
Thanks guys,
Kevin
