Cosmic Patriotism


So many are probably curious about what cosmic patriotism is. Let me see if I can shed some light. The premise (idea) is that pessimism is blinding because you don't allow yourself to see the good. In the very same way optimism is equally blinding because you don't allow yourself to see the bad. Instead of trying to look at things with a positive or negative perspective you should look at it from a patriotic perspective. It is suggested that being a patriot of a country is blinding because you are investing in an entity that has distinct enemies and you are only self interested. This all leads to the conclusion that you should be a patriot of the cosmos (universe) therfore you would be interested in all mankind and mother nature. If you were proud to be from earth instead of America we might get a long easier. Christians especially are encouraged to not to be blind or self interested but interested in everything that God loves (which is everything). [whether or not God loves the devil is arguable but in my opinion is unnecesary to know for sure] If I was a patriot I would go out of my way for a stranger as if they were my friend. That thing that people call your coinscience would become one with instinct and [re]action. Can you live a day with everyones benefit in your heart? Is it possible?

PATRIOT: Be wary of strangers as they may not YET be patriots.
