021 | Group Identity, Boundaries, & the Psychology Behind Blind Loyalty
When loyalty becomes unboundaried, we lose sight of love and begin justifying anti-relational behavior. Group identification shapes perception, loyalty, and morality – and this phenomenon is playing out on the world stage. Unboundaried over-identification with a group – political, religious, social, or otherwise – can pull us away from our values. When loyalty becomes the highest law, love gets sacrificed and great harm is often done.
In this thought-provoking episode, Molly explores a powerful human pattern: our instinct to pick a “team” and stay loyal to it, no matter what. This can be healthy and fun – or it can do damage.
But there’s hope: We can step back, remember our shared humanity, and choose love as the guiding boundary. And in modeling this for ourselves, we become a mirror that can help others break free.
