Given up on my country? No. Given up on you. Definitely.
And as for giving up on me, I didn't know that you were trying to enlist my aid or support in anything... all I heard were criticism and derision. Maybe I was too quick to judge.
If you are indeed trying to win me over to another, better way of thinking, I'll drop my guard and give whatever you have to say fair consideration.
Maybe a good place to start might be... Where do you think I may have gone wrong in the first place?
