But why does taking pride in something necessarily depend on that something being one's own accomplishment? As for my son, it is HIS accomplishments I am proud of, not my minor contributions. OK, then, can you explain to me on what basis one takes pride in something someone else does? Should I be proud of your son? Or is it just you that gets to do that? [In fact, many would say excessive pride in oneself is unhealthy, but then we're getting into a slightly different meaning of the word "pride." I agree with that. That's not the kind of pride I'm talking about.]
