In the vision of Social
Nationalism, giving is not simply a virtue — it is a calling, a way of
life that awakens the highest qualities within the individual. Saʿadeh reminds
us of a profound truth: “Everything we possess is from the nation — even the
blood that runs in our veins.” This truth transforms giving from a
voluntary gesture into a noble duty, a response to the debt of existence we owe
to our fellow human beings.
To give, in the Social
Nationalist sense, is to realize that our lives are intertwined with the life
of the nation. Our talents, our knowledge, our labour, our courage — all
acquire their deepest meaning when offered for the collective good. Giving
becomes the act through which the individual transcends selfishness and rises
into the greatness of a shared destiny.
Social Nationalism urges
its members to cultivate a spirit of generous action: to step forward when
others hesitate, to build when others doubt, to carry burdens that others fear.
This giving is not charity; it is creative participation in the making
of a new society — a society founded on truth, solidarity, dignity, and the joy
of shared achievement.
Such giving elevates the
giver. It opens the heart, strengthens the will, and fills life with purpose.
It turns ordinary effort into a contribution to something timeless. It
transforms personal struggle into national growth.
To give, then, is to shine.
It is to affirm that we are children of a noble cause— and that the nation,
which gifted us even the blood in our veins, will rise through the light we
pour into it.
This is the spirit of
giving that Social Nationalism teaches:
a spirit that builds nations, ennobles souls, and carries life forward toward a
destiny worthy of our highest dreams.
