A.C., I think your country can still be proud of you even though you criticise what you don't like about it. Sometimes countries need criticism and most people recognise that.
I have just been reading an interesting article on Gandhi's visit to Britain. When he arrived, many ordinary workers loved him, because the criticisms he made of Britain matched those that the British workers were making. No-one would accuse those workers of being unpatriotic, would they? |
criticism is the cornerstone of many improvements.but not every country endures critism without resentment(or should i use the word "punishment!?) this quote of Winston Churchill sums up many things;�Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.�
BTW,the story you told indicates how a great observer person Gandhi was:)
