From my view, I think the habitual exercise in humility brings a refreshing and productive new spirit to the national discussion. Especially as we can see that the consequences of past mistakes linger on today.
We should utterly destroy and banish the kind of national pride over symbols that carry with it the opportunity to become an unchallengeable chant.
Talking about the founding of a country should be a bit like reciting the Miranda rights in an arrest. It's a moment for the citizens to remind themselves of their rights and responsibilities, of pride and humility.
