The Test of Loyalty

~ Gottfried

Loyalty was a funny thing. So was Love. They both bit you when you least expected it. There’s something wrong with your character if opportunity controls your loyalty. My whole thing is loyalty. Loyalty over royalty; word is bond.

It’s not about who’s real in your face, it’s about who stays loyal behind your back. This is a great time to tell you that even when nothing is at stake, I will still throw you under the bus. Just for the fun of it. Respect is earned, honesty is appreciated, trust is gained, and loyalty is returned.

My loyalty cannot be bought, however, it can be rented. There is nothing I will not do for those who are really my friends. I draw the line at weighing in on couple arguments. Whatever is wrong with your wife is your business my guy.

I belong to the people I love, and they belong to me. They and the love and loyalty I give them, form my identity far more than any word or group ever could. Live your life trying to be as loyal to loved ones as your dog is to you. Not me though, I’m a cat guy.

A boy can learn a lot from a dog; Obedience, loyalty and the importance of turning around three times before lying down. This doesn’t apply to me at the workplace though. I work for Money. If you want loyalty, get a dog. If you want loyalty and attention, get a smart dog.

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they’re not so good, and sympathize with your problems when they’re not so bad. This doesn’t mean you should stop working on your jokes and story telling to make them better. My ears hurt. Always laugh heartily at the jokes of your boss…

It may be a loyalty test.

            of More Than One Tribe to compete With
            For Shelter Subsistence And Resources

          3. Indeed Mr Gottfried All Human Emotions Are Valuable
            in Driving Us Toward Actions that May Lead to Greater Ways
            of Both Surviving And Thriving Including Fear of Course Human

            Emotions Are Complex and Often Paradoxical in How They Come
            to Be to Drive Us Forward in Both Negative and Positive Ways of Doing

            Life in Fact Entire Mythologies And Religions Yes Have Been
            HiSToRiCaLLY Developed in Attempts to Better Understand
            And Actually Do Our Inner UNiVeRSES Improved Similarly
            Uniquely Different From Dudes Rather Slow Compared
            to Women Generally Who Are Continuously Emotionally
            Connecting With Each Other Yes Better Understanding
            Regulating Their Emotions And Integrating Their Senses

            Too Particularly if They Engage in Moving Meditation
            Free Also Known Felt and Sensed As Free Dance

            Ranging As Far in Balance As Ballet Yet When
            too Constrained for Perfection Fear May
            Come to Rule

            The Free Away
            From A Peaceful
            Easy Feeling of FRiEnDS With Gravity
            Balancing Mind and Body Whole Soul…

            Unfortunately Among U.S. Teenage Young Women
            No Longer Enjoying This Face to Face Interaction of
            Play with Their Peers They Are Losing Their Abilities to
            Greater Understand and Regulate Their Emotions and of

            Course Sitting Still in Front of a Scream of A Screen on Instagram is
            No Free Dance to Integrate Senses Either With SMiLes 57 Percent
            Studied As Depressed 30 Percent Considering Suicidal Ideation and

            Among Ivy League College Students Studied 40 Percent Depressed
            60 Percent With Anxiety Also Limiting Life Functioning True too Hmm…

            Home of the Brave And
            Free is Turning into Home
            of Darkness Anxiety and Depression

            Breeds in Lonely Souls Wandering the
            Earth Barely Even Wanting to Breathe
            Sadly Increasingly So Indeed Mr Gottfried

            Humans Are Born With Only Two Innate Fears
            of High Places and Loud Noises Good Thing as
            A Child Climbing May fall and die And When the

            Lion Roars
            And Thunder
            Rumbles Seek
            Safety or Potentially
            Die Road Runner Die

            As This Applies to Some
            Other Animals too Yet Of Course
            Birds Fly High and Monkeys Climb
            Tall Trees Yet Practice Practice Practice
            Is What Keeps ’em Way Up There Safe From

            Early Life as my Wife Used to Climb 40 Foot Trees
            At 8 Years Old Picking Moist Fruit to Eat And Oh Dear
            Lord She is Not Afraid of Heights Yet i Surely Don’t want
            to See Her Up High On Ladder i’ll Hire Someone Else to Do it instead…

            Without Emotions Humans can’t Make Decisions as Simple as Choosing
            What Pair of Socks to Wear At Church if They have Any Emotional Intention
            Driving Them At all to Go in A Communion of LoVE iN Peace Now With Other

            Human Beings
            Emotions Precede
            Almost All Decisions
            in Life Rational or Not

            As Indeed Humans Will Make
            Truly Bizarre Rationalizations for
            The Lies They Believe in So Obviously
            Untrue for Those Not Lacking Wisdom
            and The Ability to Discern Truth from Lies

            Yet True Humans Will Bond And Bind In Warmth
            of Emotions of Darkness That Harms The Most
            Marginalized Among Us in Short Mr Gottfried

            at Core the
            Human Condition
            is Not Rational it is
            Feeling And Sensing the
            World in Whatever Ways Keeps
            Moving Us Forward Enough to Continue to Breathe

            And That’s A Huge Problem Where Those Who Will
            Propagate The Survival of the Species Most No Longer

            Wanna Breathe

            Land of the
            Scared and
            Imprisoned Within
            Lost From the Physical
            And Emotional Intelligences That
            Truly Make Us Human And Not Just
            Cogs in Machines of Society That Don’t Breathe

            Hmm, Fear Would Be An Excellent Topic for
            “Banter Republic” Hehe We Should Discuss that one

            Day

            HAha
            Sooner than Soon…

            True The Path to Fearless
            Peaceful Love is Narrow
            mY FRiEnD Heaven is
            A Place Lost From

            (Eye of the Needle
            And All That ‘Jazz’)

            Many Indeed

            Within

            Per Luke 17:21
            And of Course How
            That Relates to the
            ‘DarK Force’ on Star Wars too

            Yet You See ‘Wookiee Hair’ Doesn’t Worry About
            Fear Naked Enough Whole Complete F All Those

            Human CuLTuRaL Clothes of Fear hehe Just Wearing
            Hair HAha….

            Yet It’s True
            i Ain’t Doing Heights

            And Indeed Loud Noises
            Aren’t too Scary for a Lion With A Loudest Roar
            Now or Cosmic Sneeze or Buddha Belly Laugh

            WaKinG Up The

            Neighborhood BLocK at
