Patriotism
means to love for one’s own country. It is a noble virtue. It removes all sorts
of meanness from human mind and makes it broad. Patriotism inspires a man to
shed last drop of blood to defend the freedom of this country. A man without
this quality is no better than a beast. A true patriot is honored by all. His
only aim is to promote the welfare of his country and country men. He always
remembers a wise saying “Mother and motherland are superior to heaven.” Really
they are the slur to the country as well as to the mankind. They die a
negligible death. Nobody mourns for them. True patriotism is beneficial to all.
It brings happiness and prosperity to the nation. A true patriot has a broad
and liberal outlook. He hates none. For the development of his country, he
works by day and night. For his own interest, he takes little care. But narrow
nationalism is not the sign of a true patriot. It is dangerous and sentimental.
It leads to conflict with other nations. It acts like germs. It spoils the
happy atmosphere of the country. Bangladesh needs the services of
true patriots. But only patriotism is not enough. We should serve our country
to the best of our ability. We must have to live taking cosmopolitan spirit. We
should love all without any distinction between caste and creed.
