Fickle
Makes me think
‘Flick-a-little’
Which is kind of what the word means.
To be fickle
is to emotionally
Flick
Yourself
From one thing to the next
A fickle person is not a person you can trust
They are erratic in how
They change their mind
Thus
A fickle person
Is Disloyal
Is Not genuine
Is Untrue
By the transitive property
A fickle person is false
At first
I thought that
A fickle person is like Little Finger from Game of Thrones
You know
He is disloyal and not genuine and untrue
HOWEVER
Little Finger is calculating
He does not erratically change his mind
He waits
Until the time is right
To betray, to be untrustworthy
To show his lack of loyalty
The polar opposite of a fickle person
And therefore
A person loyal and genuine
Would give the middle finger to Little Finger
Samwise Gamgee
From Lord of the Rings
Who went with Mr. Frodo, his master,
to Mordor
is one such person.
If Sam were fickle
He would have started on the journey with Mr. Frodo
Had a sudden change of mind
Perhaps based on a change in the weather
Or a desire for a drink at the Green Dragon
And turned back from the Brandywine Bridge
Towards Bagshot Row in Hobbiton.
