>>13759876>You may not like it but you are in your entirety a product of those that came before you and paths available to you are set by the actions that were made before you.I'm a product of myself only. I willed myself into existence. I'm the greatest thing to ever happen.
>If you cannot take pride in that then you cannot take pride in yourself and you will lose your ambition to work towards a better future for those that come after you.Retarded take.
I take pride in the things I've achieved because they are actually remarkable and actually done by me. At the same time I do not take pride in things I didn't actually do. It's a fairly simple concept, I think you guys understand it and are just lying to yourselves.
If there is one thing I will never lose is ambition.
>>13759890Same idea. Anon didn't do any of the things in the collage, the people in there are not even directly related to him.
>>13759895Can I? Yes. But it's retarded. I didn't participate in those things in any way. I can tell stories about my relatives because they are cool but taking pride in it is just dumb. In some cases you could even say that taking pride is disrespectful.
I will live my own life and take pride in my own achievements.
>>13759906People in the collages have no connection to anon, most of them died hundreds of years ago.
>>13759928Your comment is dumb and you are drifting away from the main point.
>Are you part of your country? Are you part of a culture? Are you part of a race?Yes, in fact people I directly descend from had very important roles in the creation of the country. Not going to give more details though.
But those are just cool stories, not things I did myself. I certainly wouldn't put it on a collage an post on the internet, I have no merit in it.
>Why must pride be only about yourself? Can you not be proud of your children?Not myself but things I personally did. My children being one of them.
