@darkstoiccode: Loyalty Is Never Given. It's Extracted People treat loyalty as something you either have or don't, a fixed trait in a relationship from the start. It's actually closer to a currency, earned through repeated proof under real pressure, not through time spent or feelings expressed. Giving it away before it's earned doesn't build connection, it just removes the incentive for the other person to ever prove themselves. The strongest relationships are usually the ones where loyalty was tested before it was assumed. The people who say "I'd do anything for you" without ever being asked to prove it are usually the first ones gone when it actually matters. #machiavelli #philosophy #theprince #darkpsychology #power
