The insignificant nobody me believes that it is ok if one has the mental perception of not being proud of our Nation which is THROUGH the COLLECTIVE EFFORTS of all - past and new.
HOWEVER, never, EVER lose pride of oneself....because if one has no pride in oneself, how then can one even begin to have pride of being born, of struggling but hardworking parents to give all that they can to provide for a baby till maturity, relatives whom helped, friends and peers, and society....?
You are born a winner, as you are the only sperm, amongst many other brothers and sisters sperm, to penetrate and fertilize a mother's egg and born...to see the World, while they may be ugliness, but so too beauty in every aspect of life - from amazingly beautiful butterflies fluttering from flower to flowers, to space vehicle launches into space, to spread Humanity far and beyond....
It is perfectly ok to feel belittled by the perceptions of the grass is greener on the other side, but realities are different when one steps onto the other side.....no govt or society is perfect...wealth and power comes with HEAVY RESPONSIBILITIES to oneself and others. Never envy those in power or wealth, as they too are only fellow Humans, would rejoice and suffer just like the rest of us. The higher one goes and if not careful or prepared to correct mistakes to progress, then the harder the fall will be....
Have no high expectations. Do the best one can do - take BABY STEPS. Such will help one out of the deadly quagmire of mental depression one has sunk into. Always, ALWAYS reward oneself when a milestone - a set realistic achievable goal based upon one's presumed ability TO ADAPT - is achieved, as such will give further confidence of what one is capable of thru honest means, to provide for oneself, family and loved ones as NONE is born out of a vacuum....
...Just stay away from well known TOXIC haters whom spend their life living in hate and spewing vitriols of hate here and everywhere else....
Movies often appeals to most, as most directors, actors, writers, the entire industry's hope is to produce a movie or TV series with sound and sight that the common majority can RELATE to, so as to earn revenue.
While most of us will never become leading actors or actresses in REEL life, but each of us are our own LEADING CHARACTER in the journey of life, as it will be based upon our gift of Free Will, Intelligence and more,....to decide the course of one's own journey in life with MUCH to know and learn..... Be strong, have courage and never give up on the precious gift of life.....
