Country with most pride

Answer 1

We are all patriotic in one way or another. It is human nature to believe that where you come from is in some way or other just a bit special. It must be because it is where you call home.... I am not sure that any place is really better than another but it does provide rivalry, a reason to compete.

ANOTHER ANSWER: Actually, depending on how your defining pride, Kenya might be considered the country with the most prides of lions. But, that's probably not what was meant by pride. Webster's ninth new collegiate dictionary offers several definitions of pride. The first offered is the state of being proud as in an inordinate amount of self esteem. In other words, false pride. It is unclear why Webster's offers this definition as the second definition seems to be the better definition. That definition offers this: A reasonable or justifiable self respect. Two uses of the word pride both being polar opposites. Is it no wonder we are so confused about pride and its worth? I have heard it said that pride comes before the fall it would probably be truer to say that hubris comes before the fall. One of the characteristics of hubris is false pride.

False pride is that air of self respect not deserved. Whatever one accomplishes are the actions that people quite correctly take pride in. To be proud of what others accomplish is another source of pride, but that pride can not be real if it is not rooted in the understand that the accomplishment of others was helped or aided by your own effort. To be proud of a child is to be proud of the effort you made in rearing that child. To be proud of a friend is to be proud for choosing that friend or helping that friend. Our pride is ours and can not reflect any national or group effort. It is folly to think a nation of people can take pride in a war effort or that a group of people can take pride in a football championship. We can learn lessons from our country's war effort and we can even learn lessons from our team of choice winning the championship but our accomplishment in that effort, if it is a spectator effort, is merely vicarious. Pride, real pride comes from what we do in our own lives, those things we do that accomplish the greater good. What our country does is secondary to what we do as individuals.

Answer 2

It is difficult to determine which country has the most pride as pride can vary significantly across individuals within a country. Different countries may have varying degrees of national pride based on their history, culture, and achievements.
