National Pride

Love of one's country is one thing; arrogantly assuming it has the right to throw its weight around to the detriment of other peoples and theirs isn’t just seriously flawed but ludicrous as well.

By Stanley Collymore

 

Patriotism is a profound love and abiding respect for
one's own country and what it genuinely represents �"
nationalism however, which is the antithesis of
this and seeks to destroy other peoples and
their countries, is the full awareness
that the land you brag so much
about, neither boasts nor
deserves any such
recognition!
