RE: SomethingAboutMe - Proud of my country
Congratulations on anniversary! Nice to have a passion for your country, I understand from here that you are not tempted to go elsewhere, as it is now used in Romania.
No, I'm not tempted to move away from my beautiful mountains. I know life is hard but I'm not ready to give up.
Sure, I would love to visit other countries but just on holidays. Every place has its beauty and charm but nowhere is like home. 🙂
Few think like you, especially among young people. Unfortunately, not many have ever lived in Bukovina.
Bukovina or a different area, our country is equally beautiful. Where else can you find a place with all the possible landforms?
I believe if all Romanians loved their country, Romania would be much better. Hopefully things will change. It's up to us to teach our kids what patriotism is. 🙂
I hope you do not mind ... I have a slightly moderate patriotism. I can answer to your question very easily, especially since I saw with my eyes ... Bulgaria! It is next to us and I think Bulgarians are more patriotic than us because they are more serious about what they are doing. There are many prejudices in Romania about them but I think they are unjustified. If I had enough money, I would buy a small holiday home in Balchik. You can ask our friend @nelinoeva if I'm right!
Having a slightly moderate patriotism it's what you choose. Why would I mind? 🙂
But let me tell you something. You gave as an example Bulgaria (and I totally agree with you, they are wonderful people). Have you ever thought that maybe they are way ahead us due to their patriotic sense? Maybe if we follow their example, things would be far more better for us. Just saying... 🙂
Yeah, it's a discussion here and I don't think we'll get out of it. I think every one brings a lot of arguments, it's a matter of choice ...
Patriotism has been so often used, for the sake of manipulation, in the military, in the church ... the politics that many times I don't know if they are my choices or they have been induced by school, parents, society.
I chose to stand slightly aside ... but I don't think I managed.
About the Bulgarians. They're more serious and hardworking ... I don't know if it comes from patriotism.
If it's from patriotism, then it's an inward and natural patriotism, not declared or induced. I think so, but maybe I started kicking the plains! Ha, ha ...
