Why do we
show so much love to our country? Some may answer, maybe because we could still
allow trends even if we are in the third world country or maybe because
here stay the most hospitable people. Well for me, I show so much love for my
country because it is mine.
Independence Day is the day when the whole nation opens a certain
chapter of the history book. It is the day we remember those people who bled
and died for our country's autonomy. It is the day we pray for their souls and
thank them for their bravery. It is yet the same day of another year to make us
remember that a lot of breath was cut to let this homeland breathe. Still, with
all these years of celebrating, people never realized its worth.
The
reason we celebrate this particular holiday is to tell everyone that this
country's freedom is because of the people who cared so much for this country
that they were the ones who stood in front of the line to fight. That in that
fight they did well and that they made us proud; that we are so grateful that
at least once in this lifetime such men lived.
We don't celebrate a holiday to get some rest and go on a
vacation, we celebrate to reflect on the feelings that they felt before, the
amount of blood they shed and the way it smelled while being mixed on the dirt
that's on their bodies. That is the reason. The once in a year day to go back to the past wasn't for us to
feel free from our jails; it is to remember those people who fought for this
country. Soon, I hope people would do realize that on this day, we must pay
respect.
