  I guess if you are ancient and rich you could be proud of it . If your papers say you were born in an ancient and rich group but you're none, what should you be proud of ? It really boils down to you as an individual vs the country you are enlisted in.

  You can respect it and count your blessings but what are you proud for if you didn't contribute anything to it? Now if you are part of an ancient and rich civilization and you continue to further that civilization, that you can be proud of.

    If one does enough regression in analysis, even your contributions and works can be traced to genes and environment you didn't exactly choose. Why wouldn't personal beauty, health or intelligence be considered part of that civilization - and if I procreate, I am furthering it :)

      Well procreating is an achievement in itself, so it is something you can be proud of.
