Why should I love my country?

It is nothing but a place.

It's the place I am from.

This chair is where I am sitting, but I do not love it.

I am not free because of my country.

I am free because of the people who lived in my country before me.

They gave up their lives to gain their freedom.

Someone after them gave up their life to keep that freedom.

Now I give up my freedom to save my life.

Someday someone will give up their life to get that freedom back.

Because they are from my country.
