PATRIOTISM : -
Patriotism is the curse of this mother earth. This beautiful
undivided earth is divided by Patriots into different countries.
Each patriot thinks his part of this divided earth is better than
the other parts. The people living in that part are better people
and the people living in other parts are obviously either enemies
or inferior people. The patriots then go ahead and produce National
Anthems, National Flags making them into symbols worth giving
this beautiful life for.
Clever patriots make idiotic patriots lay down their life to defend
the honor of their so-called country. Then they are called martyrs.
The parents and wives and children of these dead patriots are
later neglected in all the so called nations.
All this is extremely childish or why should we say childish?
Children are much better. They know no boundaries. The adults
inculcate this poison of patriotism when they are so young and
so impressionable that they grow to believe this division of Mother
earth to be real. These children as adults don’t think twice
to kill another patriot but of some other land hence worth killing.
If the human beings think that they are at the pinnacle of evolution
and that they are better than amoebas and frogs and monkeys they
should find one patriotic amoeba or frog or a monkey. They live
on this earth as one entity. They do not create artificial boundaries.
They do not need visas and passport to travel in other nation.
How uncomplicated is their life!!!
Nationalism and patriotism are names of the same thing. This is
one poison which gives a definite sense of superiority to a group
of people who do not think twice to drop an Atom bomb not once
but twice on a hapless people. These Nationalist turn Nazis and
kill Jews. These Nationalist then evict Palestinians and kill
them. These Palestinians then kill even school children as suicide
bombers.
All nations must start erasing boundaries between them if this
earth is to become a paradise. This should start by completely
stopping the use of National Anthems, National Flags and any other
sign which makes people believe in their separate identity. This
does not mean that we destroy the diversity of people. Diversity
is not animosity. Diversity is the flavor of life. This needs
delicate operation which can happen with Awareness.
Politicians have a vested interest in perpetuating the myth of
Patriotism. Politicians will exhort people to die so that they
can live. This is ultimate politics. No politician has ever died
fighting for his country. They have always made other people die.
They have said “Give me blood and I will give you freedom”
Of course it is your blood and his freedom. He governs the freed
Nation and a dead you are freed of all life problems for ever.
Remove all the trappings of Patriotism from your mind. Inform
others of this stupidity.
