Yeah it feels more healthy to be proud of achievements.

Includes being proud of your children if you have achieved good parenting, but being part of a country, what is the achievement, what is the work you have put in there?

Pay taxes maybe. "I'm proud to pay taxes for country X" doesn't have the same ring to it, though.

    I understand where you're all coming from, but at the same time I do believe you can be proud of things you've done nothing for.

    For example I don't see anything wrong with being proud of a family member for beating addiction or running a 5k etc.

    Edit: Phrasing
