Nope, I still believe many of us love and care for our country... that is why we pray for our country, that is why we stay in our country, that is why we try to lnow what's goin on even if we're far away, that is why we go back to our country even if we work outside of it ...
Problems are just part of it, what's on the news is always what's wrong. Yes, there a lot of things wrong in the country but a lot of people are also doing something to save the country, not necessarily in big things but in small, unreported things. These include volunteers who help the needy, the people who pay taxes honestly, the people who do their best during work, and many ordinary people doing ordinary good things...
Yes, there are always problems but these will always exist, and these will be overcome by people who love our country. Let's continue to pray for our country and do good. :-)
