Completed passage: Patriotism is an essential quality of human being. It creates in a man a feeling of love for his motherland. It is older than history. The man who loves his own country, does his first and foremost duties and works for the welfare and prosperity of his country, is a patriot. Even the ancient tribes had a great love for the land where they were born and sacrificed their lives to defend it. If he does it and performs his duties honestly and sincerely in his own fields, he can be a patriot. If he does not do so, he will be a traitor. We must not have bitterness towards anyone. But blind patriotism is very bad. All should cast off it from their hearts.
