In My Country, I Seek Refuge

It's been years since terror spread through this country, living like this has become usual for us citizens. Riots, bomb threats, target killings name any such thing and you'll find it here. Since the past few days I've been wondering what would this country have been if this 'terror' hadn't been here? Don't we all wish for our country (whichever it may be) to be a place recognized for it's peaceful environment. Yes we do, but do we ever think of cursing, abusing and leaving our home ? No. Ok maybe the idea of leaving does hit us but at the end of the day this is the place we call home. Our country is our identity , it is who we are, it is how we our recognized. We often find ourselves commenting on how wonderful it must be living in 'XYZ' country, but when we hear an anonymous person insulting our 'home' don't we end up getting defensive and try giving logical explanations? Truth is however bad our peace may be in our hearts there's pure love for our country which we can't fight in any case. Thus however frightful and dangerous it may be living here, no matter how much fear is instilled in our hearts, In my country I seek refuge.
