“Patriotism”
The desire to protect yourself is self-love.
The desire to protect your family is family love.
The desire to protect your neighbor is neighborly love.
The desire to protect your community is community love.
Patriotism is the desire to protect the nation.
Spreading love is patriotism.
Patriotism leads to war.
At least that is what some people in Japan tell us.
They say patriotism is dangerous.
Is this really true?
Whether your political views are conservative or liberal,
Loving your country is fundamental.
Any ideology without this love is a flawed one.
Anarchism is out of the question.
A nation without patriotism has no vitality.
A nation without patriotism has no hope.
A nation without patriotism has no future.
People who live in a country they love,
Will rise up as one and take a stand when it is necessary.
Patriotism is the cornerstone of a nation.
「愛国心」
自分を守る思いが自己愛
家族を守る思いが家族愛
隣人を守る思いが隣人愛
地域を守る思いが地域愛
国家を守る思いが愛国心
愛の拡大が愛国心だ
愛国心は戦争に繋がる
日本にはそう考える人々が一定数いる
故に愛国心を持つのは危ないと言う
果たして正しいだろうか
政治的思想が保守であれリベラルであれ
自分の国を愛する思いが基本だ
それがなければ欠陥思想だ
アナキズムなど問題外だろう
愛国心なき国家に活力はない
愛国心なき国家に希望はない
愛国心なき国家に未来はない
その国に生きる人々が国を愛し
いざという時は心をひとつに決起する
愛国心は国家の礎だ
