Am I on ignore, or invisible, or is this not a valid question?
No, it's valid, I'm not ignoring you.. I'm just lazy. :p
In your example, you're proud of your hard work. You're proud of your action. The fact that your commendable action resulted in a good outcome is gravy. It's fully appropriate to be proud of your actions, in my world view.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
