Patriotism

Patriotism is the greatest of all virtues. A person who is not patriot should not be considered as a human being. A patriot is a person who loves his own country and value this love above all. He loves his country more than his own life and is ready to sacrifice his life happily for his country. In our liberation war, many patriot freedom fighters have sacrificed their lives. Because of the sacrifice of 3 million martyrs, now we live in a free country. A patriot always thinks of the well being of his country. He will never do any act that will harm his country. He always pays his tax, never engages in any kind of corruption and always protests when he saws other people engages in corruption or any acts that will harm the country or its people. A patriot person always gives more priority about the welfare of his country and for this reason he is ready to sacrifice his own interest if necessary. Decades after decades, the patriots are the people who happily have bear all the torture, pain for the sake of their country and countryman. Our greatest leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is the perfect example of true patriotism. For all his life, he has worked for the well being of the people of this country. Nothing could stop him from his aim, the independence of the country. A patriot is ready to pay any price, bear any burden, gone through any hardship for his country. However, there is also negative impacts of patriotism. Some people are too obsessed about the greatness of their country that they are ready to do any wrong deed to destroy other nations. Too much patriotism often leads to the nationalism which is dangerous for humanity. Because of the extreme patriotism or nationalism, Hitler and Nazis have conducted holocaust during the second world war. As a nation, we should learn the lesson of patriotism and serve for the betterment of our country and countrymen.
