Loyalty

Thats just something I don't get, why just because a certain group are meant to hate another group of people that  everybody has to go along with that rule! I've always made it a general rule for myself to try and get along with every group of people, no matter what their ethnicity or religion. Where is this coming from you might ask?  

   Recently our questions for our upcoming exam were changed, our whole year went into panic as we realized that there is too many questions and not enough time to do them! So today I get a call from one of my group mates asking me to try and get them from a friend of mine who he knew would have them done. The problem? I felt like I was being used and using my friend just to get the question! But here is where the first problem was, I didn't like the idea of tricking my friend but at the same time I couldn't not help my group mate, the second problem was that me and my friend are both Arab and my friend is Jewish  so by the rule of society I had to help out my group mate. I hated it, I really do,  it made me feel deceitful and two faced.  What I'm trying to say is that this wouldn't have happened if people were just civil to each other and if they didn't go along with the rules society put out for us!

  But in the end as much as I give out about it, there was nothing I could say to him about, cause I'm also too nice and can't say no and don't want to start any trouble with anyone! The other thing was that it actually felt nice to be needed by one of group mates, cause usually I'm the one who needs help, and doesn't have anything figured out, is that hypocritical of me? It makes me wonder though, to survive medical school and get far in life do you have to be like this? Do you have to back-stab people and go behind their back just to get your way? Can you go through life with just being polite and civil to people? Or is that just a wishful dream on my part?
