Pride

I keep thinking on pride — it’s interesting that as the nation circles the drain into populism/nationalism/tribalism, and where those on the right are more proud of whatever the hell this country has become, that my pride has started to become more broadly applied. I’m more interested in what scientific advancements and technological breakthroughs are happening here, but also now more from beyond our borders. I’m taking more pride in the best of what humanity provides, no matter where it’s found. I have a feeling that there is much more of it out there than what I have previously assumed.
