Loyalty can build a bridge between people who can be trusted, and through this bridge, open the door to each other's hearts, and on this basis, work side by side and cooperate with each other. If you are sincere and show your sincerity, the other party will feel that you trust him, so as to unload your suspicion and vigilance, regard you as a bosom friend and be willing to tell you everything. Psychologists believe that everyone's mind has a secret and closed side, and at the same time, there is an open side, hoping to gain the understanding and trust of others. However, openness is directional, that is, open to people you trust. To exchange an open mind for a friend who helps himself with all his body and mind is to exchange loyalty for loyalty.
Asuncion once came to the bottom of the Alps and met several gods. The gods said, "Asuncion, have you ever had any friends?" Asuncion replied, "Yes, he loves me more than you." This sentence angered the gods, who were determined to kill Asuncion's friend and asked who this friend was. Asuncion saw the intention of the gods and kept silent. The gods took out their treasures to seduce Asuncion, promising that he would have a beautiful wife and become a king with great majesty, and so on. None of this touched Arsene's heart. However, the miraculous gods still caught Asuncion's friend, but they didn't kill him immediately. They didn't quite believe Asuncion's words, so they used the same means to seduce Asuncion's friend. As long as he agreed to betray Asuncion, he would get everything he wanted: beauty, wealth and power. I didn't know this friend was as unmoved as Arsene. The gods were envious and ashamed, but none of them killed them and quietly put them down from the mountain. Yasens said: "We are loyal and trust each other, and nothing is more important than our friendship."
Their loyal friendship shocked the gods and won praises for the world. And loyalty is a sign of friendship. Loyalty to your friends shows that you have a correct understanding of making friends with yourself, and your loyalty to your friends will definitely be rewarded by your friends' devotion.
This is a symbol of westerners' loyalty to their friends. There are many examples in China, which has a history of thousands of years.
Bai Minzhong and He Baqing are good friends, and they both went to Chang 'an (now Xi 'an) to take the imperial examination. The examiner at that time was Wang Qi. Wang Qi knew that Bai Minzhong was born in a noble family, and his literary talents were all top grades. He was very appreciative and intended to take him as the top scholar. However, he suspected that he was in close contact with the poor He Bafang, and he hesitated, so he secretly sent someone to persuade him, suggesting that "as long as you no longer associate with He Bafang, you will be the top scholar." Bai Minzhong listened, frowned and said nothing.
Just then, He Baqing visited and his family sent him away. When Bai Minzhong learned that he was furious on the spot, he immediately chased He Baqing back, told him the truth, and said, "What's so rare about being the top scholar? You can't live without friends!" After that, he ordered his family to set up a banquet and have a good drink with He Ba-fang.
The lobbyist saw it in his eyes and was angry in his heart. When he went back, he reported it to Wang Qi in detail and encouraged him from the side: "This boy can't let go of He Baqi, so let's not give him the top prize." Who knows that Wang Qi, contrary to his original intention, took both Bai Minzhong and He Baqing. It turns out that Bai Min Zhongning's spirit of asking friends not to be the top scholar influenced Wang Qi's heart saturated with secular prejudice.
Confucius said, "Is it disloyal to conspire with others? Make friends without believing? Can't you learn it? " Regardless of learning, loyalty and faith should be practiced when making friends. Swap loyalty for loyalty and trust for trust, which is the great thing in life.
