The patriot - 2

"Man shall not live by bread alone."
The New Testament teaches us to follow the God's words, but I think there are two different meanings herein.

One is that we should earn a living by ourselves. This is a material world, where every person gains the money and eat. This level is for the working classes people who are concentrated only in food, clothing and housing.

Another one is that we should also take interest in the mental world, doing something for the others' sake, under the name of volunteer work or something.

The regular patriot should be the latter one. But he cannot leave the family while doing something for the country. Firstly his family should be well-fed, well-educated. Patriot will mean little if he does not care about the economic life.

In other words, the regular patriot should "graduate" from the material world. In this sense, there are few patriots while many people represent themselves as the ones, all over the world.
