PATRIOTISM

Patriotism means love for one’s own country. This love for one’s country is natural. We live in it, we breathe its air, we drink its water and eat its food and we enjoy its sights. We have our parents, relatives, and friends here. Even beasts love their homes. If a man has no love for his country he is worse than a beast. Patriotism is a quality which urges men to do great deeds for the country. The patriots never hesitate to sacrifice their lives for the honor of their country. Patriotism is not limited to battlefield. It may be displayed in the field of politics, literature, and economics. Extreme sort of patriotism may be dangerous. It may result in hatred for people living in other countries. We should love our country but should not forget that we are human being.
