Honor for my country!

I am watching this serial called Boston Legal, and they mentioned, Supreme Court. The supreme court of America.. It was one of their best episodes.. They showed such awe for that institution.. such respect that i started to wonder.. did i ever showed such respect or felt awe for anything i have seen or observed or knew about in this country? Ever for my ancestors.. the freedom fighters.. the institutions which run this country of more than a billion? I looked around any saw i am not alone. I was depressed for a while.. and i think will remain sad for that part of me and my people around me. It is embarrassing to think of living in an environment where I don't have anyone to look up to.. The president, the PM everyone around me have been made look so normal, so local so questionable that I see them as normal people. One might argue.. in the end they are local people.. but should they be? Should they not generate respect? the charm so enthralling that i should be proud that they are leading me? A confidence in them when i look in their eyes which will tell me my future generations are going to remember me because I lived in those times when these leader were alive and changing world around us! I felt sad for more reasons i cant summarize right now.. might be its because I see myself doing something great in future and still see people around me questioning me.. doubting me.. loosing confidence time and again.. Its much more than respect of which i am talking of, and much different from blind faith.. I can just hope that someone else will also realize this feeling and then someone else.. and one of them will put it in better words and make more people understand that what i am talking of is a feeling, not different from the feeling of a fatherless child.
