Patriotism is an old concept, as old perhaps as the earliest of hman civilizations. But all through the history of mankind, it has been narrowly understood. Today people have begun to realize that patriotism is an essential part of human instinct. Patriotism has its negative side particularly when it exceeds its proper bounds. People who think their own country to be the best and are blind to its weaknesses are not patriots at all.

Patriotism should be tempered with reasons so that it may not be an evil.
