I replied after reading Jennifer's post.
I don't think it's blind submission, and that it's a way of showing respect, but I lack proper explanation. I just know that I have done so during my childhood, and in several countries because of war in the many countries I have been in... I stood up before class every morning for people who fought to bring peace where I was able to study.
It wasn't really a country thing, it wasn't really patriotism, it wasn't submission. I guess it's something I cannot explain. |
