I can't "tell" you anything but I would
suggest that it's yourself / your loved ones / others who have actively influenced your life who have done things for you... and that in general it's a mistake to feel that a country you live in has "done things for you" and that you therefore "owe" that country gratitude / allegiance. At the end of the day, from the perspective of "the country", you're just a cog in their machine and it's in their best interests to keep you oiled. "The country"
doesn't really care about you, and that's always worth keeping in mind.
