There are almost no situations in which this sort of thing is acceptable. Whatever wrong was done- to you may seem like it’s a special case of exceptional betrayal worthy of extremes. But in an objective sense it is usually simply at worst a wrong. Two wrongs don’t cancel out. And it’s true that if that is the way a person reacts to their emotions in this case- they are likely to do so any time they feel similarly wronged. The exact deed doesn’t matter- only that they have taken the potential all humans have for extremes- and shown they are willing to act on it. The bits by association though... questionable. I would and have done things for friends I would never otherwise do. It’s sinply loyalty. Loyalty is, like love, in many ways a form of insanity. True loyalty goes beyond simply a practical bond in which you each give the other something you want or need, to a place where you care for a person as if they were an extension of yourself- in some cases perhaps even more....

.... the person who understands- actually comprehends what it means, and sincerely would take a bullet for another- they are “on some nut shit.” They would place their life below the life of another. When every biological and mental impulse of the healthy mind is to survive- a person who risks their own life for another is a nut. And that’s what the quality “humanity” is. It’s irrational, illogical, contradictory. No one who isn’t a little “nuts” puts their self and their life second to another unless they are acting out of love, or loyalty. To a person, and idea, a cause- the concept of “passion” in life often has us act against what survival would dictate. In this case- this woman wasn’t wronged but her friend was. Whatever her principals she would set asides her sense of self to act. So maybe she’s dangerous, or maybe she’s just loyal. If you don’t have a friend who would burn a building down for you- you don’t know what loyalty really is.

Also, to have a friend to tell you WHEN it would be better to not burn down the building, but go about smarter, less criminal ways of getting what they want.

Lol. Yes. Loyalty shouldn’t be the ONLY virtue of a “good” friend. A friend you are closest too may not be the “best” friend if they just enable you to do things you shouldn’t, it’s usually better to have friends who will elevate you instead of enabling you. A great friend does a little of both as needed.
