I agree that you should be grateful for each moment you spend on this planet.

I don’t agree that you’re not allowed to be proud of the condition you spend those moments in.

You're not allowed to be proud of your condition if you did nothing to earn it. I'm skinny, I did nothing to earn it. I could be proud, but that's rather sad and pathetic, no?

I would rather be proud of my achievements. I suppose if you don't have those, you might settle on pride in something more superficial.
