So more power to the man who lives his whole life in the place he would like to die. Arranging for an ideal death is much simpler for this patriot than say myself, who might like to die in say, Canyon Lands, a place far from my home, yet no more special to the people who call it home than my dense deciduous woods are to me. I might as well die in any old red rock canyon, or even in one of my ravines that, millions of yeaes ago, were probably red rock canyons themselves. Or one day might be. But I felt something "abstract" in that place [Canyon Lands] just as a patriot feels something abstract when he is in his home country. It is one of those immeasurable things [this abstraction], like the soul, that you can only extinguish in the most unimaginative sorts of people.
You aren't enlightened. You're just bog-standard woke, regurgitating ideas that have been deemed 'intelligent' in the light of our contemporary overton window. Think for yourself next time.
