Human Dignity

Human dignity to me means not only possessing strong morals that help society to prosper and improve, but following through on them. Every human being has the basic right of respect both of himself and by his fellow man. Every person has the right to freedom and to express his moral beliefs though words and actions that will help him grow as he uses his talents to help others. People have the right to be …

…human beings. We need to learn how to see that we are really more alike than we are different. We need to learn the what and why of other’s beliefs so that we are not afraid of what we don’t quite understand. We need to learn how to quietly join with others, even if we don’t like what they are all about. That, in my mind, is real respect for human dignity.
