But there is one thing regarding patriotism which should be kept in mind. Patriotism means love for one's country but it does not at all imply the sense of hatred for other countries. On the other hand the spirit of self-sacrifice should be extended to the entire human society. It means that patriotism should teach us love for and service to humanity.
