It’s okay to love a country, but do it the same way I love the street I grew up in, the park nearby, or the grocery store on the corner. I don’t think these are the best in the world or superior to others, but I know them well and they are meaningful to me because of the connection I built to them over the decades.
People died for pretty much every country. That doesn’t make this country special at all.
That was my first thought.
