Abu Jinapor and the rare political virtue of loyalty
The Bible gives us Ittai the Gittite, who declared to David, “...in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be” (2 Samuel 15:21). Greek mythology gives us Argos, the faithful dog of Odysseus, whose loyalty endured twenty years of separation. Different stories, different worlds, but one enduring principle: true loyalty is not measured by the convenience of the moment, but by the consistency of one's commitment. That is precisely how I feel whenever I see or hear Samuel Abu Jinapor.
