Patriotism: my favorite -ism!!

As it seems, we have a dire lack of patriotism today. I wonder, our patriotism is limited only in the concerts and parties, uttered in the drunken stupor: I love my Nepal and I will do anything for my motherland. The battle of words amidst the degradation of ideas, we seem to respond only to the matters that warrant violent outbursts of profanity-laced ripostes. Government and system has vastly debilitated our confidence and pride, and yet, we weigh our patriotism with the political eye, disregarding the cultural and religious aspects of our name and identity as a sovereign and a kingdom. I agree I am a hypocrite, with binary beliefs about patriotism, rendering the very notion of saturnine ideologies about culture and religion. I only wanted to see if some of my sajha colleagues shared my hypocrisy, thusly seeing the big hole in our belief system, that we so fondly call Patriotism.
