The Importance of Fidelity

The importance of fidelity. Faithfulness. Semper Fidelus: the Marine Corp anthem of "always faithful." Faithful to a cause celebre, to an organization, to a lifestyle, to a marriage, to a faith, to a country. I'm talking about honor to a cause, to a way, to a goal, literally a constructive channel of thought. This channel of thought gives mankind a purpose, a sense of value, a reason to live, a reason to go on.

Without it, a man is directionless, a wayward wandering ship on the ocean, without a destination, breaking the lonely waves without a way home.

Whatever the direction a man chooses, stick with it; put a goal on attaining it, and strive, with all the desires of your heart, to get there, whatever it may be....to a goal, to a cause, to a destination.
