Dignity Is Lived, Not Just Spoken.
When considering the concept of dignity, it's essential to explore its various interpretations. One approach is to examine what the Bible and God's teachings have to say on the subject. In Matthew 25:35-40, Jesus emphasizes the importance of treating others with kindness and compassion, stating that when we care for those in need, we are ultimately serving Him.
Similarly, the Catechism of the Catholic Church highlights the inherent dignity of the human person, rooted in their creation in God's image. This dignity is characterized by the right to freedom, which is inseparable from one's inherent worth and nobility.
In simpler terms, dignity can be understood as the quality of being worthy of respect and esteem, and being treated with inherent value and worth.
As we approach a new year, it's crucial to be mindful of dignity and its absence. We often lack dignity when we fail to treat others with the respect and kindness they deserve. Rather than blaming external factors, we have the power to hold and give dignity, which can lead to benefits such as confidence, success, respect, and integrity.
