Do Not Do This on the National Day!

      We always feel proud about our country because it really makes us feel like that. But sometimes people show their patriotism through doing some ridiculous actions unaware that they ruined that day, and here are some examples of that. First, big celebrations do not mean more patriotism. For instance, people who do nothing but shout out in the streets are a clear example of that. They cause a lot of accidents because of the misunderstanding of the meaning of celebrating the national day. Second, destroying things is not funny. Writing or drawing on the walls doesn’t help us to improve. It totally means the opposite of patriotism. Third, talking badly about other countries does not raise our country position. Underestimating others for their political, economic or even security matters shows us as a retarded people. It never reduces the value of that country, it reduces ours. At the end, we should realize that some ways aren’t good to celebrate but on the contrary damaging our reputation, patriotism can be shown in many other ways without having to harm the home.
