I’m against loyalty

Easy... I’ll explain!
I’m for the frontiers breaking, all of them, the ones among countries, among people, among different groups of people. I believe that’s the world trend, and internet is an expression of it.
Being loyal is being faithful to something, to a country, to a group, to an idea, to a person.
But, what if that person, to whom you are loyal, makes something wrong? And what if the group to which you are loyal commits a crime? Would you delate them? And doing it, wouldn’t it be against loyalty? And if an idea, which you’ve always believed as truth, suddenly, reveals to be a lie?
Being loyal to your ideas, to your values is really a virtue or is it being stubborn? Wouldn’t it be worthier to be an open-minded person, ready to change whenever it’s necessary?
Loyalty is the mother of injustice. People tend to judge differently the same act, whether perpetrated by some one from their own group or by some one from another group. If Human Kind realized we’re all from the same immense group, loyalty would lose it’s meaning.
The only person you should be loyal to is yourself, to your essence, but then it’s no longer a matter of loyalty, but of sanity.

I saw your status saying “against loyalty” and I was hoping you have a grapevine so I can concur but you don't have it showing. And I am glad you have a blog about it.
Yes I agree I am not in favor of loyalty. I have a different experience with 'loyalty'. I was loyal to my job but I felt it was not recognized so I relax and felt much better.
Now I am loyal to me.
