    It is a state of Mind!

    By Kenwar  |  Posted July 5, 2008  |  Scotch Plains, New Jersey
     

    Patriotism cannot be defined by a single definition but by collective interpretations:

     

    Patriotism is a state of mind constraint by the boundaries defined by one's government.

    Patriotism is a religion that gives meaning to your life and ensure that you give the coming generation a better fututre.

    Patriotism is a brotherhood that makes you care for each other.

     

    Patriotism is an intoxicating feeling that has potential to cloud your judgement.

     

    Patriotism has potential to be misinterpretated as a Nazi Germany, wanting world dominance and war and expecting you to sacrifice yourself in a distant land.

    Patriotism is a responsibility that you have as a resident of this country and a duty to continue to make it better.

    Patriotism is an obligation to think independently and objectively for the collective good , with the future in mind.

    Patriotism is the freedom you enjoy and the price you have to pay to maintain that freedom.
