Pechorin's betrayal towards Bela. Can spiritual betrayal be worse than physical?

The theme of spiritual betrayal is revealed in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time". So, Gregory once meets an unusual girl Bela. She captivates him with her beauty and mystery, so Pechorin decides to steal her. Bela initially resists, but then she herself falls in love with the "thief". Her loyalty to her beloved knows no bounds. She is willing to give up her home, family and traditions to be with her loved one. Pechorin becomes bored over time. He comes to the conclusion that all women are the same, and is no longer happy with the love that Bela gives him. He does not cheat on her physically, but in his heart he refuses her, dreaming of travel. The girl understands this, but cannot leave Gregory, because she is true to her choice. Even before her death, she only cares that they cannot be together in heaven, because Bela belongs to a different faith. From the relationship between Bela and Pechorin, we can conclude that the worst betrayal is not associated with external manifestations, it is deep inside a person, but can do much more harm. Spiritual betrayal hurts just like physical betrayal, sometimes even more.

HERO OF OUR TIME ANALYSIS
Pechorin's betrayal of Vera/Vera's loyalty. Do you agree with the statement: "who never swore allegiance, he will never break it"

Vera sacrificed herself for the sake of Pechorin, abandoned family happiness, and risked losing her reputation. In the depths of her soul, she hoped for their eventual happiness. Pechorin's betrayal consisted in the fact that he accepted this sacrifice, but did not give anything in return.

What does betrayal lead to? What is the danger of cheating? What pushes a person to cheat?

In the novel "" L.N. Tolstoy, the problem of betrayal is the key one. So, the main character of the work is cheating on her husband. This betrayal becomes fatal not only for herself, but for all the people around her. The betrayal ruined the lives of her loved ones, hurt her son. Anna never loved her husband, he was much older than her, their relationship was built only on respect. Her husband was a man of high position, he was respected. When Anna's connection with Vronsky became obvious, Karenin tried to hide Anna's betrayal, to create the appearance of well-being, but for Anna this would be a betrayal of herself. Despite the fact that the cause of the betrayal was the appearance of love in Anna's life, betrayal became her main tragedy. When she decided to ignore social norms, those around her rejected her, made her an outcast. Her husband deprived her of the opportunity to raise her son, who suffered greatly from the lack of maternal affection. Vronsky's career was also ruined, as was his relationship with his family. Alexei Karenin, offended by his wife, suffers from loneliness, and therefore falls under the influence of Princess Myagkova. She persuades him not to give Anna a divorce. All the sorrows and hardships do not allow Anna to feel happy with Vronsky, so she decides to throw herself under the train. Her departure from life made her relatives unhappy: her son was left without a mother, and Vronsky went to war. Thus, we see that betrayal brings only destruction, from the betrayal of one person, everyone around suffers.

In the novel "" L.N. Tolstoy, the problem of betrayal is the key one. “Everything is mixed up in the Oblonskys' house,” with these words we learn about the problems of one family. The reason for the discord was the betrayal of Stiva to his wife Dolly. Oblonsky stopped loving his wife, she no longer seemed beautiful to him. His conceit was so high that he even justified himself. Dolly was always devoted to her husband, bore him many children, the whole meaning of her life was in the family. After she learned about her husband's betrayal, the whole world turned upside down, the pain was so strong that it was on the verge between mental and physical. Her love for her husband was strong, and therefore she could not leave him. They reconciled, but Steve's betrayal forever destroyed the trust between the spouses, destroyed Dolly's idea of ​​\u200b\u200blight love. The world in their family after the betrayal became a semblance, and the betrayal forever separated these two people.

Loyalty in love. Confirm or refute Schiller's statement: "Faithful love helps to endure all hardships."

The main characters of O. Henry's story "Gifts of the Volkhov" are a married couple who found themselves in a distressed financial situation, but remained faithful to each other. Della and Jim teach the reader that you don't have to have a lot to be happy, it's enough to love. It is their mutual love and loyalty that helps to cope with difficult life situations and fills life with boundless happiness.

"What does it mean to be faithful?" How do you understand the word "loyalty"? What is eternal fidelity? What is loyalty to a loved one?
Argument from E. Bronte's novel Wuthering Heights.

Years ago Mr. Earnshaw picked up a dying child and adopted him as his son, naming him Heathcliff. Mr. Earnshaw already had two children at that time. Their names were Katherine and Hindley. From the very beginning, Katherine and H. had a wonderful relationship, they were inseparable.
Katherine is a free-spirited, selfish and slightly spoiled young girl who, as an adult, fell in love with Heathcliff just as he loved her. However, she considered that he was not suitable for her husband, as he was not well educated and poor. Instead, Katherine married her friend Edgar Linton. This greatly hurt Heathcliff, and he left Wuthering Heights. Three years later, he returned with a love for Katherine and a fierce hatred for Linton. They hated each other to such an extent that the pregnant Katherine became physically and mentally ill. Before his death, between Catherine and Heathcliff there was a night conversation in which Catherine admitted that she had always loved only him.
Even after her death, Heathcliff continued to love his K., destroying the lives of those around him in retaliation for his grief. Before his death, Heathcliff lost his mind and walked through the mountains, calling on the ghost of Catherine.
This hero has always been perceived ambiguously. On the one hand, he is capable of correct eternal love on the other hand, vindictiveness and cruelty take possession of his being. Either way, Wuthering Heights is a story about fidelity in love. Heathcliff loved Catherine always, even when he did not know about reciprocity, when she carried someone else's child under her heart. Neither time, nor Katherine's betrayal, nor even death could destroy his feelings.

What is loyalty? How is loyalty to one's attachments manifested?

In the story "" A. Morois shows fidelity in relation to his affections. A character named Andre is a student at the Polytechnic School who is secretly in love with the actress Jenny. She, in turn, does not take her admirers seriously, since the profession does not allow her to be distracted by every fan. However, Andre's beautiful gestures cannot leave Jenny indifferent. Every Wednesday, with enviable constancy, he brings her a bouquet of violets, without even trying to talk to her. He arouses her interest with his clock-like gestures of attention. One day, a student in love disappears from her life, he dies in the war. Soon Father Andre appears, who tells that the young man loved Jenny all his short life, and that he died, trying to "deserve" her love by a feat in the war. This fidelity touches the strict Jenny. She laments that she never met Andre, and he never found out that for her "modesty, constancy and nobility are better than any feat."
Then we see her already older, but unchanged in one thing: every Wednesday she wears violets to her devoted friend. Both heroes of the story are an example of loyalty. Andre was true to his feelings, not needing any guarantees from Jenny, she, in turn, remained true to this word and for many years invariably wore flowers to the person to whom she was grateful for love.

Treason. Why do people change?

Natasha Rostova could not remain faithful to Andrei. She spiritually cheated on him with Anatole Kuragin, even wanted to run away with him.
She was pushed to betray by 2 reasons: lack of worldly wisdom, inexperience, as well as uncertainty in Andrei and her future with him. Leaving Natasha, Andrei did not clarify personal matters with her, did not give her confidence in her position. Anatole Kuragin, taking advantage of Natasha's inexperience, seduced her. Rostova, due to her age, could not think about the consequences of her choice; only a case saved her from shame.

How is the lack of moral principles connected with betrayal?

Helen Kuragina in the novel is presented as a person with a lack of moral principles. Therefore, the concept of loyalty is alien to her.

When she married Pierre, she did not realize that she could hurt him, and thought only of material gain. Helen did not love Pierre and did not want children from him. Therefore, the marriage was doomed to failure. Her numerous betrayals left no chance for their union. As a result, Pierre invited her to leave, as he could no longer endure shame.

Loyalty to oneself (Tatiana).
Is it important to be true to yourself? What does it mean to be true to yourself and your word?

But I have been given to another—namely given, and not given! Eternal fidelity - to whom and in what? This fidelity to such relationships, which are illuminated by love, others are immoral in her understanding ... Tatyana cannot despise public opinion, but she can sacrifice it modestly, without phrases, without self-praise, understanding the whole greatness of her sacrifice, the whole burden of the curse that she takes on oneself in obedience to another higher law- the law of her nature, and her nature is love and self-sacrifice ... "
Tatyana is faithful not so much to her husband or Onegin, but, above all, to her principles, her nature, her ideas about herself and her principles.

Do you always have to be true to your principles? Stupid is the man who never changes his mind. He who never changes his mind loves himself more than the truth. (J. Joubert)

Loyalty to oneself and one's principles is considered a positive quality, but a person who never changes his ideas about life and people is static, he limits himself. The protagonist of the novel M.Yu. Lermontov "The Hero of Our Time" Pechorin is a strong personality with a strong-willed character, a man true to himself. This quality plays a cruel joke with him. Unable to change his ideas about life, he is looking for a catch in everything: he does not believe in friendship, considering it a weakness, and perceives love only as the satisfaction of his pride. Throughout the novel, we see how the hero tries to understand the meaning of life, to find his destiny, but finds only disappointment. The reason for the disappointment is Pechorin's immunity to the feelings of other people, he cannot forgive them for their weaknesses and open his soul, he is afraid to seem ridiculous to others and even to himself. In the chapter “Princess Mary”, we see how hard Grigory is going through the departure of his beloved woman, he rushes after her, but his horse dies on the road, and he, exhausted, falls to the ground and cries. At this moment, we understand how deeply the hero is able to feel, but even in such a situation, he thinks he looks pathetic. By morning, he returns to his usual state and attributes the manifestation of humanity to frustrated nerves. Analyzing the behavior of the protagonist of the work, we can conclude that loyalty to one's principles is a positive quality only in a situation where these principles are dictated by philanthropy, and not selfishness. A person must be open to something new, be able to recognize the fallacy of his judgments. Only this will allow a person to become the best version of himself.

Betrayal towards people who trusted you. Half friend, half traitor.

The theme of betrayal is reflected in Lermontov's novel A Hero of Our Time. So, main character Pechorin is a person who cannot be relied upon. He betrays everyone who had the imprudence to trust him. Comrade Grushnitsky revealed his soul to him, told him that he was secretly in love with Mary, turned to Pechorin for advice, considering him his friend. Pechorin did not dissuade him, but vilely took advantage of Grushnitsky's openness. Pechorin was annoyed by the young cadet. He did not wish him happiness, on the contrary, he dreamed of seeing him in a wounded state, ridiculed him, belittled him in the eyes of Mary, and, in the end, out of boredom decided to seduce his beloved “friend”. Pechorin needed Mary to annoy Grushnitsky. Such behavior can be called vile, it deserves only condemnation. It doesn’t matter whether Pechorin Grushnitsky considered his friend or not, he had no right to do this with a person who trusted him.

Friend's loyalty. Can it be argued that the loyalty of a friend is the most precious thing that can be given to a person at all?

Friends can help a person overcome any obstacles and defeat any evil. The friendship of three guys: Harry, Hermione and Ron has become an example for a whole generation of children who grew up on the books of J. Rowling.
Serious trials fall on their heads, but only loyalty to each other helps them cope with all problems.
Life tests Ron and Harry's friendship. Ron throughout the story struggles with envy, ambition, but in the end friendship wins. If your friend is famous, it is very difficult to be in the shadow of his fame, but Ron proves his loyalty to his friend, risking his life, fighting evil with him, shoulder to shoulder, realizing that this will not bring him anything. Neither torture, nor persuasion, nor attempts by enemies to turn the three brave guys against each other were crowned with success just because they know the price of loyalty both in peacetime and in times of evil dominance.

Cheating on a friend. Do you agree with the statement: "A traitor and a coward are one field of berries"? How do you understand the meaning of the saying: "An unfaithful friend is like a shadow that drags behind you while the sun is shining." Do you agree with the saying of Lope de Vega: “Treason to a friend is a crime without justification, without forgiveness?

Peter Pettigrew was a friend of the Harry Potter family and was appointed keeper of their secret. No one would have been able to find out about their whereabouts if he had not told. But he went over to the side of the enemy Volan de Mort. It was on his outside that James and Lily Potter died. They trusted him, but he betrayed them. Perhaps this hero is one of the most striking examples of betrayal committed against a friend.

Loyalty and betrayal of duty, Motherland. When does a choice arise between loyalty and betrayal? “Is it possible to run away from yourself, leaving your homeland?” Do you agree with Chernyshevsky's statement: "For treason to the motherland, an extraordinary meanness of soul is needed"?

Pyotr Grinev remains faithful to his duty and his state, despite the mortal danger. Even his sympathy for Pugachev does not change the state of affairs. Shvabrin, saving his life, betrays his country, tarnishes the honor of an officer, betrays the people who defended the fortress with him side by side.
The following situation in the novel is also indicative: when Pugachev captures the fortress, people have a choice: to remain true to duty and honor, or to surrender to Pugachev. Most of the inhabitants greet Pugachev with bread and salt, while brave people such as the commandant of the fortress (Masha's father) Ivan Kuzmich and Vasilisa Egorovna refuse to swear allegiance to the "imposter", thereby dooming themselves to death.

Loyalty to the Motherland. What does it mean to be loyal to the Fatherland?

Therefore, having heard the voice of her old master Luka in the auditorium, Kashtanka ran away to him.

Loyalty of animals to their owners.
Mutual devotion of man and animal / How is the loyalty of animals to their owners manifested?

It's no secret that animals are distinguished by devotion to their owners. Proof of this can be found in the novel "A Hero of Our Time" by M.Yu. Lermontov. In the chapter "Bela" there is a storyline connected with Kazbich and his horse Karagez. Karagyoz for Kazbich is not just a horse, it is a true friend who was with him in the most difficult moments of his life. When Kazbich was attacked, Karagyoz showed himself very bravely: he distracted the enemies, and then returned for his master. The horse more than once rescued him on campaigns. Kazbich treated Karagez as close friend He was the most important being to him. This is how Kazbich describes his attitude towards his comrade-in-arms:

"There are many beauties in our villages,
The stars shine in the darkness of their eyes.
It is sweet to love them, an enviable share;
But valiant will is more fun.
Gold will buy four wives,
The dashing horse has no price:
He will not lag behind the whirlwind in the steppe,
He won't change, he won't cheat."

For Kazbich, the loss of a friend was a huge tragedy. When Azamat stole Karagez, the dashing Circassian was inconsolable: "... fell to the ground and sobbed like a child." So he lay "until late at night and all night ..". Kazbich's relationship to his horse is a vivid example of the mutual devotion of man and animal.

We often hear these antonyms in life: loyalty and betrayal. And everyone understands these words in their own way. Why? Loyalty is defined as constancy in feelings, attachments, beliefs. But rarely does anyone remember the meaning of the root of the word - faith. Faith is a belief in something that is unshakable in your ideas, understanding. But betrayal is nothing more than a violation of loyalty to someone or something. According to Christian ethics, adultery is a particularly serious sin. But betrayal does not have to be in the realm of faith. There is such a thing as adultery, treason, treason. All these are variations of this all-encompassing concept.

I want to address the understanding of adultery and fidelity. And in this regard, recall the works of our literature. This problem is raised in the drama of A.N. Ostrovsky “Thunderstorm”. main character drama Katerina Kabanova cheated on her husband with a young man who came from the capital. Unusual, unlike the inhabitants of the city of Kalinov, Boris in his particular dress seems to Katerina so bright and unique. She falls in love with him literally at first sight. His delicacy and tact do not at all fit with the darkness, ignorance, rudeness and rudeness of the locals. However, Katerina, who has never loved anyone before, chooses Boris as her betrothed, a man sent by God. She, once taking a step towards her chosen one, decides that it is he who is her destiny. Cheating on her husband in her understanding is not cheating at all. She never loved Boris, although she tried to be faithful to him. In fact, he changed this because he left her alone in this evil world. But she is tormented by the fact of the oath during the wedding ceremony. However, Tikhon does not accept Katerina's betrayal, she is his beloved wife, the main thing is that no one knows anything. He beats his wife at the insistence of his mother. So Katerina's betrayal becomes a symbol of her faith in God, in his blessing. She decides to commit suicide, just so as not to change her beliefs, her faith.

In N.A. Nekrasov’s poem “Who Lives Well in Rus'”, Matryona Korchagina remains faithful to her husband in the most difficult life situations. When her wife Philip is recruited, and she remains pregnant in anticipation of a child, without a husband, she decides to go to the governor for help, in an effort to find protection. She was lucky: childbirth began, and the governor became the godmother for her child. She assisted in the release of her husband from recruiting duty. A rare woman is capable of such self-sacrifice in the name of her beloved husband, of such fidelity to her wedding vow.

Cheating and loyalty are mutually exclusive concepts, but in Lately no one attaches much importance to them. No one particularly tries to be faithful, no one considers betrayal a terrible sin. Boundaries faded. Everything in human morality, in how to evaluate the actions of one's own and other people.

Direction " Loyalty and betrayal"is included in the list of topics for the final essay for the 2017/18 academic year.
Below are examples and Additional materials for development themes of loyalty and betrayal in the final essay.

Composition on the topic: Loyalty and betrayal

Loyalty and betrayal are two opposite extremes of the moral and ethical image of the individual. Considered from a literary point of view, "fidelity" and "treason" in most works vividly and accurately characterize the actions of the characters. Whether it's "Anna Karenina" by L. Tolstoy, "Eugene Onegin" or "The Captain's Daughter" by Pushkin - everywhere the problem of fidelity and betrayal is acute and multifaceted.

If we turn to modern reality, then on the one hand, noble behavior takes its basics from early childhood in a family atmosphere, on the other hand, human moral character is a full reflection of a person’s thinking and nature.

Of course, do not forget about loyalty to your family, relatives, loved ones and close people. Our inner circle accepts us for who we really are. This circle includes the closest people who will support us at any moment of our life, sincerely share the joys and troubles that have happened. Will definitely give advice and share their own personal experience. We must respect the people close to us and cherish them very much, as well as their presence in our lives.

Therefore, native people, like no one else, deserve a faithful and devoted attitude. We must always support them and never betray them. As various literary sources say, even our ancestors sang in folk art the significance, strength and indivisibility family circle. Every person who has a number of people who love, appreciate and respect him is considered rich. He seems to grow wings from the support he receives and he wants to conquer new heights.

Every person who has an adequate consciousness must necessarily possess the qualities that are inherent in fidelity. This concept decorates and greatly exalts the appearance of a person. It is also worth noting that all these feelings cannot be forcibly instilled. Boring notations and moralizing are not helpers in this matter. The concept of "fidelity" is born in the very depths of the soul at the birth of each person. And his fidelity can be judged by the actions he performs, the train of thought and, in general, by the chosen course of life, discarding all eloquent sayings. But, you should not consider loyalty as a kind of starting position in life position. In fact, loyalty is a generous tribute to sincere and genuine love.

Only love is capable of reviving in the human soul endless respect and complete readiness for self-sacrifice. Own thought contributes to the formation of individuality. Thanks to the fact that you have your own position, you can significantly stand out among the crowd and not succumb to public opinion. In this case, no one will be able to impose other people's thoughts on us. That is why it is very important to be true to yourself.

After betrayal, you no longer want to trust anyone, a devoted person begins to look for a catch in everything. It is worth focusing on the behavior of the traitor, how he behaves. Does it explain why this happened? Does he ask for forgiveness? Everything happens in this life and no one is immune from mistakes. It may even be that, due to life circumstances or under the influence of someone else's opinion, we do not deliberately substitute another person. The most important thing is to come to your senses in time, sincerely repent and ask for forgiveness. If you can really find an excuse for the perfect, then you can forgive a person, giving him one more chance to fix everything and return honest and trusting relationships.

No need to close, life goes on, so you need to move on. First of all, we are all human and should be patient with each other. Our life, so, is filled with all sorts of difficulties of a different nature, so you need to treat loving and beloved people with great respect and reverence.

In the context of this open direction, it would be appropriate to think of loyalty and betrayal as radically opposite manifestations of human nature. It is recommended to analyze the categories of betrayal and fidelity from the moral, ethical, philosophical, psychological points of view, as well as referring to everyday realities and works of literature.

The categories of "fidelity" and "treason" occupy a key role in the plots of many works different eras and characterize the thoughts and deeds of the heroes in situations of moral choice, both in personal relationships and in the social aspect.

Forgiveness of betrayal - is it a recognition of the correctness of the traitor, your own weakness or love?

The most faithful partner is the one who is in love

Proverb

Loyalty as a quality of a person is the ability to once decide on an object and, on the basis of one’s choice, without any doubt, show to it perseverance and immutability in their feelings, relationships, in the performance of duties and duty.

An adult daughter came to her mother and asked her for advice: - Mom, I love my husband so much. But recently I met another person, and now all my thoughts are only about him. I don’t want to cheat on my husband even in my thoughts, but I don’t have the strength to tear out a sinful feeling for another from my soul. What should I do?

To these words, the mother replied to her daughter: - Daughter, our feelings are flowers that grow in our soul. There are two flowers in your soul right now. One of them is a dim, but such a gentle and noble flower of love for your husband, which you planted yourself. It will bloom all your life and bear joyful fruit if you water it. Another flower is a bright but poisonous flower of passion that has grown without demand in your soul, and like a weed steals all the strength from the first flower. At the same time, it is short-lived and fruitless, no matter how you water it. Daughter, it is not in your power to snatch the second flower from the soul. He is. But you always have a choice. You can always choose which flower to water and which not. If you only water the first one, the second one will soon wither and stop poisoning your soul.

Loyalty is when the search for something more preferable is forever completed. The choice has already taken place, cemented in the soul and not subject to dismantling. A person has completely established himself in his choice and now he is not gnawed by doubts, he is in a state of certainty. By delegating his trust to a particular person, structure or principle, a person shows loyalty to them and, as a rule, puts their interests above his own.

- Dad, what is loyalty? - Well, just imagine: you like girls who are slender, tall, with gorgeous breasts, thin waist, fair-haired, funny, contact ... So loyalty is when you meet HER and forget what kind of girls you like ...

Loyalty is impossible without the desire to be faithful. When a person loves his object (woman, family, parents, friend, job, homeland), his desire to switch to another object completely disappears. He is not crushed by the burden of high matters, he is faithful not out of a sense of duty, self-sacrifice or the opinions of others, but simply because he loves. He simply does not have the desire to look for another or another, betray friends, change jobs, betray the Motherland. The bottom line is a sincere desire to be Faithful. In other words, loyalty is the other side of love, it is the punishment for love.

Loyalty - Native sister constancy. Constancy, as the immutability of any qualities and feelings, in conjunction with fidelity makes the fulfillment of duties regarding one's object of fidelity natural, desirable and unconditional. Loyalty will be legitimately perplexed how it is not to fulfill their duties regarding the object of fidelity.

I offer an amazing story about loyalty. Count Alexei Ignatiev represented in France before the revolution Russian army. He was the only person entitled to manage the Russian state account in the Banque de France, which contained 225 million gold francs intended for the purchase of weapons in France. By today's standards, this is several billion dollars. After the civil war, many Russian emigrant organizations courted Count Ignatiev so that he would transfer this money to them as "legal representatives of Russia." The money was left without an owner, no one would be surprised if he simply appropriated it - from the collapsed Russian Empire, gold, valuables and cash were plundered simply without an account by everyone who had the desire and opportunity. Count Ignatiev had all the possibilities, but had no desire. The act of the count was unexpected for many. In 1924, he appeared to the Soviet trade representative L.B. Krasin and gave him all the money. Everything down to the penny. Emigration announced Count A.A. Ignatieff is a traitor. His mother disowned him and asked him not to come to her funeral "so as not to disgrace the family in front of the cemetery watchman." He was shot by his brother Pavel, former leader royal military intelligence. Alexei survived by a miracle - a bullet pierced his cap two centimeters from his head. He will then keep this “brotherly gift” for the rest of his life. His friend Karl Mannerheim, with whom they studied together at the Academy of the General Staff, broke off all relations with Ignatiev, and he was far from alone. There were several assassination attempts. In doing his deed, the count risked a lot, but selfless loyalty to Russia made him a staunch and unfailing supporter of his Fatherland. 50 Years in the Line is a book about his service as an officer. On November 20, 1954, Count Ignatiev Alexei Alekseevich, General of the Soviet Army, died in Moscow and was buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

A faithful person, as a mature person, is faithful, first of all, to his principles and beliefs, which constitute his inner core, thanks to which he shows responsibility for his words, decisions, actions and deeds. The presence of a solid inner core is a necessary condition for fidelity. Only a person who consciously follows the voice of his conscience and principles can be considered true.

Imbued with honesty, adherence to principles, responsibility, sacrifice, openness, conscientiousness and conviction, fidelity gives a person, first of all, love and respect for himself. If he does not respect himself, will he respect his word and, moreover, be responsible for it? If you are not true to yourself, you will not be true to your words, promises and obligations. In the old days, merchants were very proud of the fact that "the word of a merchant is more reliable than any agreement." Hence the expression "hit on the hands", that is, they sealed the word with a handshake. This is a clear demonstration of being true to your word.

One of Christ's commandments is: "Love your neighbor as yourself." A person can love other people within the limits of his love for himself. What's inside, so outside. If there is only selfishness inside, then there is nothing to give to the outside world, there is no love, there is only a desire to pull the blanket over “oneself”, snatch something from others, satisfy one’s desires. If you want to find out how much a person loves, respects and appreciates other people, carefully look at how true he is to himself. If he breaks his words, it is clear that in the same way he will behave with others. Shakespeare said: "Be true to yourself, and then as surely as night follows day, loyalty to other people will follow."

Loyalty is not accidentally friends with steadfastness, firmness and immutability. Despite changing circumstances, she, like a compass needle, always shows her pole, no matter how you turn it. Everything changes in life. Over time, life experience and circumstances undergo a certain correction and beliefs of a person. Life forces everyone to take an exam of loyalty. A person with such a manifest personality trait as fidelity can reconsider his views and principles, but once the object he has chosen sits so firmly and unshakably in his heart that no forces of the Universe are able to rock the boat of his fidelity. Loyalty means you are with the object of fidelity, for him, always, everywhere and under all circumstances. Treachery, betrayal, infidelity, deceit, betrayal are deeply alien and antagonistic to her, you can’t buy her with any “carpets”, promises and ranks. You can't be a quarter or half true, you can only be one hundred percent true.

Loyalty is tested by lust. There are so many alluring blessings in the material world that the eyes run wide, the temptation is so great that not everyone is able to cope with the desire for possession to the detriment of fidelity. In addition, loyalty is also tested by frightening threats, when loyalty implies any losses and sacrifices. For example, a person fears for his life, family, property or work.

Loyalty - best friend trust. When a person is faithful in words and deeds, others will trust him. When he behaves treacherously, then, first of all, he breaks the faith (trust) of the people around him. People are afraid to deal with a person capable of infidelity, betrayal and treason.

Loyalty, representing a powerful indestructible bastion of morality, allows the individual to get rid of the animal principle and all depravity. Being the antipode of depravity, she strives for pure, kind and bright, she gives peace and confidence in herself and in another person, and therefore in a happy future with him. He is not happy who has good things in full, but the one whose wife is faithful. Where fidelity lives, fear, anger, anger and jealousy will not be registered there, there is not even the most insignificant thought of treason. Who will change cleanliness for dirt?

Petr Kovalev 2013

What is fidelity is a multifaceted concept that permeates many spheres of human existence. Without fidelity to oneself, loved ones, to society, one's profession and the state, a person cannot be considered a mature person and develop spiritually.

What is fidelity - definition

Loyalty belongs to the category of moral and ethical concepts - it is a virtue characterized by steadfastness and immutability of feelings in relationships, the fulfillment of duty to loved ones, society, and the Motherland. Loyalty and betrayal are two sides of the same coin, and if loyalty is reliability, constancy, firmness, inviolability and faith, then betrayal is a violation of fidelity. It is believed that higher mammals (dogs, cats) can also be faithful and devoted to their owners.

Does modern man need loyalty?

Loyalty and betrayal are two antagonistic concepts, almost like good and evil. Modern man is no longer guided by the principles and values ​​of the past, and yet loyalty is what everyone wants for themselves. Being betrayed and deceived is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent, betrayal always leaves its mark on the soul. A deceived person ceases to trust, closes in on himself, or worse, begins to take revenge, justifying this by the fact that he was used and betrayed.

Is loyalty always good?

Why there is a choice between loyalty and betrayal - these are the individual reasons that pushed a person to make this choice. What people are guided by at the moment of treason or betrayal, it can be despair or the instinct of self-preservation in case of a threat to life, no one knows this. People like to judge, seeing only the tip of the iceberg, not assuming what actually prompted a person to make such a choice, so is loyalty always good - the answer to this question will be different within the specific context of the situation:

• in a family where one or both spouses no longer love each other and live for the sake of children - fidelity is like a burden, instead of becoming happy again, albeit with others;
• often a woman or a man who has become a widow puts an end to himself and lives with memories of past happiness - such fidelity is also not always comforting and justified.

Loyalty in love

When two people love each other, the other simply ceases to exist. For each couple, this period of enjoying each other can take a different time. Love is not separated from trials, someone goes through them without betraying themselves and their loved ones, someone has a need to prove to another that “I can do without you!” playing on feelings through betrayal. Love is different, sometimes changing does not stop loving, but how hard it is to be deceived. How fidelity and love are connected - loving couples who have lived together for decades answer this question as follows:

• love and fidelity go hand in hand;
• in the event of a situation provoking treason, the feeling that this will hurt a loved one is sobering and does not allow treason to happen;
• fidelity in love nurtures spouses or loving friend a friend of people spiritually, makes one whole.

Loyalty in Friendship

How are loyalty and friendship related? In a very close way - real friendship unthinkable without loyalty and dedication. A very rare occurrence when friendship passes the test of time and people are friends all their lives - this is a valuable gift that needs to be treasured. Loyalty to a friend is:

• to be there in difficult times;
• be honest and be able to;
• be sincere;
• show active participation, mutual assistance when help is needed.

fidelity to duty

What is duty and fidelity, is there something that unites these concepts? Loyalty and duty pervade all spheres of human life. People are involved in different social roles:

• family man;
• Friend;
• a citizen of their country;
• a specialist in a certain profession;
• member of society.

And each of these roles involves, in addition to pleasant moments, the observance of certain obligations, actions guided by impulses of how right it should be. Loyalty to duty in these areas manifests itself in different ways, but in general, this is the desire to be in tune with oneself and those values ​​that have not changed over the centuries:

1. In the family - fidelity to duty is well revealed in the Bible, uniting themselves by the bonds of marriage, they promise to be both in "woe and in joy", to jointly manage the household and raise children.
2. Loyalty to one's state and homeland implies a duty in case of hostilities or emergencies to show patriotism and come to the rescue, to defend the homeland even at the cost of one's life.
3. Loyalty and public duty lies in the desire of a person to improve the lives of people, the ecological situation through certain actions, actions, discoveries.
4. Loyalty between the allied countries lies in the duty and obligations given to each other by the leaders of states: mutual assistance in difficult situations, assistance in industrial development.

Loyalty to the profession

Loyalty to one's profession implies love for the chosen cause and dedication. There are many professions, without loyalty and devotion to which there is no point in being in this specialty. For example, medical work requires a huge return of one's strength, time, a good doctor does not belong to himself. People who are faithful to the profession do not think of themselves outside the framework of it, often they are workaholics, such people are called the luminaries of the chosen path and they devote their whole lives to this path. Personal gain plays the last role here.

Loyalty to yourself

What is self-confidence? In past centuries, this meant more loyalty to one's principles and nobility, reliance on an internal censor - a person could not do otherwise and was guided by internal principles, and today there are such people. But loyalty to oneself is not only the prerogative of worthy individuals, there are those who are true to themselves in their worst manifestations - be it cunning, deceit, using unseemly methods in their arsenal.
