I was saying to one of my friends that some English people (still) think that England is the best country in the world. And then It sort of occurred to me that people from lots of countries think that their country is the best in the world and I said this out loud... but Luis said "Literally nobody thinks that Portugal is the best country" - which I can say from experience is not quite true*, but I think it may be the case that it is one of the countries where it's closer to being true than most and I think that is a good thing. Well, obviously it's a good thing, but it's particularly good if you can not just recognise it, but be comfortable with it and happily accept that you have nothing that you need to prove.
*you will get the odd nutter who given half a chance will start banging on about the Portuguese empire or how they resisted the Romans or some incredibly brave thing some regiment did in some war or other and how that proves that the Portuguese are fundamentally the greatest people in the universe, but it's not like in the UK where it feels that if you stop someone on the street and ask them which country is the best you've got like a fifty percent chance that they will reply England! with complete sincerity.
