Reminds me of the book Thanks a Thousand, where the author finds and thanks everyone responsible for his cup of coffee. It's a great awareness expanding practice to provide gratitude and belonging. I envision it as the chain of life.

Tantric Buddhist Masters can recite their lineage all the way back to OG Siddhartha himself. It's the same pride I imagine an European aristocrat would have felt and comes with a certain standard of excellence and nobility of character, if properly cultivated.
