| Paragraph - Patriotism |
Patriotism means love for one's
country and willingness to defend it from foreign attack and to work for its
development. It is an inherent instinct in a human being. It is one of the
noble virtues of man. A Muslim regards patriotism as an article of his faith. A
patriot loves his country from the core of his heart. He loves it so much that
he is ready to sacrifice his every drop of blood for it. He wants the welfare of
his country, and so he works day and night for it. But we should be aware of
true patriotism and false patriotism. False patriotism impels a man to show his
love for his country. Again, we should also dissuade ourselves from narrow
patriotism. Narrow patriotism means hating other nations and showing a hateful attitude
towards them. Hitler was one who had this kind of patriotism. A totally
unpatriotic man is a vile creature. Walter Scott, a great English poet, has
said about an unpatriotic man:
"(He) shall go down
To the vile dust, from hence he
sprung,
Unwept, unhonoured, and unsung".
So,
everybody should love his country from the core of heart.
