(via Dignity of Life Matters the Most no Matter what Age & Stage we are in our Life)
“We need to realize that poverty doesn’t only consist of being hungry for bread, but rather it is a tremendous hunger for human dignity. We need to love and to be someone for someone else” – Mother Teresa
The word “dignity” has evolved over the years. Originally, the Latin, then the later in English, and French version of the words for “dignity” did not have anything to do with one’s inherent value.
We are living in a world where our worth is getting measured between the producers and the consumers. How much are we producing? How much we are consuming? Everything has become so commoditized and commercialized. We are busy producing. We are busy consuming. We are contemptuously immersed in this vicious cycle of production and consumption. We derive a sense of vanity not the pride. We are fatally vanquished in our battle of irreconcilable thoughts. The quantity matters.
Who cares about the quality? We are talking of the quality of life. The volume speaks. Who cares about the silence of sound?
“Everything on earth is beautiful, everything — except what we ourselves think and do when we forget the higher purposes of life and our own human dignity.” – Anton Chekhov
