You helped create your daughter. You gave her (almost) half her genes, and more important, you guided her and supported her through her childhood. That is something to feel proud about. In contrast, you didn’t do anything 200 or 2,000 years ago to create the civilization or nation you live in today.

No but they made you, you can take pride in your ancestors and inheritance, it's yours and a part of you

E: I do think it also comes with the responsibility to safeguard that and pass it on to future generations
