What about truth, honesty and integrity? Could you translate your statement into
pablum for those of us at the common denominator level?
So much of what is best in all of us is bound up in family and friend relationships,

because it's a measure of our loyalty... an undervalued human virtue in my view.

I agree that loyalty is important and probably undervalued. But why do you minimize
all other human virtues? Why do you reduce honesty and integrity and courage and
unselfishness to inconsequential "flotsam and jetsam"?

I'm not convinced loyalty is a virtue in the first place. Isn't "loyalty" the outcome of another set of favourable circumstances i.e. loyalty marketing campaigns, or at best the outcome of a set of true virtues such as love and/or faith?

Intent was to isolate one infrequently mentioned integral virtue for the sake

of conversation, not necessarily to minimize other frequently discussed ones.
