Being associated with an organizational philosophy, ideology is always a function of beliefs and priorities at a specific time. While loyalty is about rallying behind those priorities, they are inferred as a permanent phenomenon.
Unless priorities are self-initiated, we are mainly inheriting those from others. When inherited priorities conflict with our value systems, they are suffocating. They constrain us from thinking freely. Acting becomes problematic when the conflicts are at their peak.
Conflicts stem from the ideology we are associated with based on our earlier beliefs aligning with the cause. When they don't immediate reaction is a change in priorities.
When priorities change, following a party line becomes unproductive.
The best thing to do is not sign up for following a party line but review beliefs and carefully correct them to match with real experiences from time to time.
While following a party line makes us safe followers, being open to adjusting priorities to align with our present beliefs makes our contribution much more potent!
Stand on your own!
