"The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war." - Sydney J. Harris - Wikiquote

It happened just days ago, on 11th November 2018, that the world’s leaders flocked to Paris, France to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War 1. This date is marked as Armistice Day, when a peace treaty was declared between the planet’s warring nations.
On this day solemn tributes are paid to those who died as martyrs for their nations. Then the phrase ‘Lest we forget’ is reflected upon to remember the horrors of war and necessity for peace.
At the Arc de Triomphe, the French president, Mr Emmanuel Macron, led the world in this commemoration and he gave his message for world peace. He said, “It is our deeply rooted obligation to think of the future, and to consider what is essential [for establishing peace].”
He was concerned about the current world trends and warned, “Old demons are reawakening, ready to sow chaos and death.”
