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.

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.

"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 true eternal love, on the other hand, revenge 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.

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 herself, obeying another higher law - the law of her nature, and her nature is love and self-sacrifice ... "

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.

He won't change, he won't cheat."

Distortion of concepts about in modern society is associated with the hypertrophied leap of society towards material values.
The material has eclipsed all truths.
Fundamental traditional values ​​and virtues, such as Duty, Dignity, Valor, are no longer in honor.
The attitude towards the concepts of Loyalty or Loyalty among many modern people, especially among young people, is more negative than positive. Modern people try not to think or talk about such values ​​as Devotion at all.
Many realize in their lives the so-called democratic values ​​- free love without obligations, justification of vices, etc.
Cultivation and imposition of imaginary democratic values ​​- in fact, the decomposition of society and degradation.
For a modern person, these words are an empty sound, and not the principles of life, which are the core of his personality.

These problems of the moral education of the younger generation were a consequence of the collapse of the vast country of the USSR. Only now the state bodies have thought about the consequences after the events in Ukraine.

The blurring of the principles of Loyalty and Devotion is the methods directed at society and the current acts of aggression of another State. A feature of warfare at the present stage is the secrecy of intentions. Under seemingly plausible pretexts, Democracy is being formed and planted, destroying all the basic principles of internal convictions. Good is replaced by Evil.

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.

Fidelity is the sister of 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 the Russian army in France before the revolution. 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, the former head of the tsarist 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 is the best friend of 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?
