I believe it is beyond the simple oaths and honours and good intentions we start out with. As times change, so do people and their motives, responsibilities and allegances. I have watched as made members change cities, those who take an oath not fight when their boss falls and dirty tricks from friends and children of the deceased. The truth is most people just slowly plod through life earning their money and die in their sleep one fateful night because someone got bored or a mistake even if unrelated ot the person in question.
We have often seen rumour or mistake kill people, and this can often change allegiance's. I am sure if my dear friend Jordan today said all her employees with a vowel in their name would be executed today a lot of her people will suddenly change oath and wonder whats gone wrong. This is the same for most people, sometimes you look and realise things are going wrong in an organisation or your not respected or needed and is time to take an alternative route. Is hard to constantly keep people motivated and involved and thats part of the problem, you cant give people full responsibility and expect them to have all the skills as they get off the boat. When life revolves round limited aspects we often see people take their lives or retire after they have made enough to maintain a lifestyle for them.
As for subdefuge and grudges, those are eternal and often make us achieve so much more even if not in the sense we want. Without plotters and schemers we dont develop techniques on how to handle these people. I guess its where it borders on bloodlining, do we watch for the eternal traitor or do we open our arms to them hoping the knife doesn't slide between our ribs or deep through our back. |
