Is having love for ones country as simple as loving a country as you would love another human being, or is it more? If you love your country does it mean that love trumps all other love? Love of country is called patriotism which is having a deep connection and feeling devoted to ones nation. That can be for the language, culture, history or values. One may even have a sense of civic duty or willingness to contribute to the well being of ones nation. That being said does that mean that one blindly follows those that lead even if we know it to be wrong? Do we complacently comply and sacrifice family, friends, values, standards, and common sense. While we silently complain that things are not right? Love of country is not about fear and bowing down to the demands of others that we know are leading our country to ruin. Love of country is about standing strong for what that country was founded for whether it be truth, justice, right, unity, or acceptance of others. To turn from that is not love of country but love of or more accurately fear of man and your country be damned.
Showing Love For Ones Country
Ones country is not at fault for what man does or has done. We should never blame our country for what those that lead misguidedly do. To truly show ones love for ones country one must see past the destruction and ruin remembering the beauty of what that country used to be. Seeing the snow covered mountains high in the sky, the massively tall trees with their enormous leaves stretching to the sky. The vastness of the horizon as sky and land meet give us a beautiful picturesque view. Its about remembering and seeing the desert oasis, that beautiful blue waterfall falling to the rocks below seeing the rapids and smoothness of the waters, the lagoons, ponds, rivers, streams, and oceans. Its about the deserts, and tundra, fields and grasslands, savanna’s and mountains remembering the feeling of their warmth, dampness, humidity, and coolness remembering the beauty and vastness of all their colors. To remember is to show love of ones country. One can also show out worldly their love of country by wearing symbolic clothes, celebrating national holidays, fling ones countries flag or one can sing ones countries national anthem with respect and dignity or one can devote oneself to making ones country the best place to be. Standing with your country no matter what. Working together to help make it better is love of country and not fear of those trying to ruin it as they run it.
