Why are you proud of your country?

[thatsme]

Yes I know i ask too many questions.
I hope you don't mind.
Nothing wrong with being proud of a country.
As for me even though I understand intellectually why some Human are proud to be part of an entity/group/race etc..
I don't feel or can't share the same feeling.
Yeah sometime I am proud of some accomplishment in my life, but of my country? not really, maybe is too abstract for me.

Thanks again for reading it.

Im not particularly proud of my country. However, Im proud of my county, it the most eastern one in the whole country, and it has agricultural history, which doesn't sound so high and mighty, however, there weren't any giga-cities inhabited by masses of proletarians. Yes, im proud of my county, and im proud of my town.

I can't say I'm proud of my country, probably for the same reason you gave, thatsme - it's too abstract a concept. There are good and bad things going on in this country, just like in any country. I have felt ashamed sometimes to be an American when our government does certain things and it's obvious the rest of the world doesn't like it (and neither do a lot of Americans). But usually I don't think of my nationality at all. I'm just a human trying to live a good life and do some good before I die.

It isn't that the thought of national pride is abstract for me, as much as Sarapva's way of putting it. Frankly, there is much about the U.S. I am not in accordance with; both past and present. Come to think of it, I'm not really "proud" of any group. I'm only concerned with the achievements of myself and loved ones.
