Hubris? __A Drop in the Ocean post___
National pride is a mystery to me
You see
Claiming you're a child of the earth
Yet clinging to your land of birth
Better yet, feeling proud for something you haven't achieved
and hailing for beliefs that are misconceived
You crave a sense of belonging
but you're blind to what your pride might bring

It's an interesting perspective - loved talking about this in the show! You explained it ever more deeply there and I so appreciated it :)
Great job today!!!
Thank you ! It wouldn't have been possible without you :D
Great post @sarcastic.taco I loved your take on this subject :) It was nice to see you in Buddyup today :)
Feeling's mutual ! I liked what you shared with us in the show! ^_^
You couldn't have said it better. Sometimes patriotic pride is stupid. First of all, what your ancestors achieved is not what you achieved; so pride for having a good history or country does not make any sense. Secondly, as you said, we are children of the Earth. We should not celebrate our nation thriving over the pain and struggle of others; we should be more united.
Exactly! Well said @poetrybyjeremy :)
Absolutely fabulous post! We were so thrilled with your motivation yesterday to jump right into the Drop in the Ocean post! I hope you had fun! Thursday - shall we try PYPY? :)

Wonderful and powerful poetry right there with a great message that it carries!
Thank you, I appreciate it!
