to an extent, we have done a lot of damage as a species, but we have also done a lot of amazing things, space, science, art etc.

i suppose it would nearly be more accurate to say im proud to be alive, considering the astounding odds it took for life to start

now I know you're joking. Or maybe you don't know what pride means.

The pride that is felt is a result of our ancestors disposition to make sharp dispositions between in group and out group.

I think pride is the wrong word. You can't really be proud of anything you had no involvement in.
However, i'm quite glad i was born when and where i was - i've had a very easy life compared to if i was born a thousand years ago in the arse end of the congo, or even a hundred years ago right here. It's all just pure chance though, nothing to be proud of.

"pride refers to a satisfied sense of attachment toward one's own or another's choices and actions, or toward a whole group of people, and is a product of praise, independent self-reflection, or a fulfilled feeling of belonging"

no joking about it, im proud to be part of my species, and this world

I wouldn't say I'm proud to be irish,same way I wouldn't say I'm ashamed to be irish.
But it's important to me that I be recognised as irish abroad as opposed to being confused for a different nationality. Explain that:pac:
