Patriotism

I'm a 2nd generation Singaporean. I basically grew up together with independent Singapore. When I was growing up, Singapore was still classified as a developing country and we faced our growing pains together. I attribute this to my feelings for Singapore and patriotism. Younger Singaporeans grew up in a different era and thus take a lot of things for granted. I remember growing up with plenty of inconveniences and one such example was frequent blackouts. What's the solution to their indifference and pampered cushy ways? I do not have the answer.
