Patriotism

Many people have confused patriotism with nationalism, which could not be further from its true and rightful definition. In order to be patriotic, we must do the right things because they are the right things to do. It is not enough that we be a strong country, as we must also use that strength for the purpose of good. That is my definition of patriotism. What is yours?

I agree that we must do the right things because they are the right things not because everyone else is doing them. Many people are considered patriotic because they follow what true patriots do. It is sometimes hard to find the difference.
