Patriotism thoughts

Patriotism is an important attribute for the citizens of any country. The true patriot works to further the best interests of the country without overwhelming regard for personal benefit. Sincere patriots care more about the people of the country than any particular symbol which may represent those people. Symbols may include a President, a flag or a government body among others.

In my own opinion patriotism is best lived and not worn as an outward and exuberant demonstration. The very folk who feel they need to show public fervor are the ones who seem least likely to me to be true patriots.

Just one opinion among many I suspect.
