Pride should stem from good personal decisions or accomplishments given one’s situation and life circumstances. Being born somewhere isn’t a decision nor an accomplishment.
Agreed. Nobody should be proud of their height, their skin color, eye color, anything they didn’t work for. Happy, sure. Proud? No.
I told my children that pride is a product of hard work; in life, there’s nothing worth boasting about unless you’ve earned it through effort.
Same thing when I see people crying over their country’s team winning an Olympic medal.
Get a grip - You didn’t do anything except be born in the same geopolitical boundary as the actual athletes. Perhaps one 50th of a penny of your tax dollars contributed to the team athletic funding.
I dunno… Being the first person born in space ought to come with some bragging rights.
