My dogs are loyal. They would die before they would let anyone do anything to me. They sit and listen to me when I talk to them. When I open the front door, they are all right there waiting for me to come out. They don't fake caring.
People are the opposite.
They say what they think you want to hear. They will lie in a heartbeat and say whatever fits the moment. I believe that truth and fact are unchangeable. My wife always says that that is just your perception of the truth. But, like the song says, if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
