DIGNITY has to do with character elevation
It also refers to one`s wisdom in conversation
DIGNITY has to do with conduct integrity
It also refers to everyday relational quality
DIGNITY has to do with personal worthiness
It also refers to one`s moral thoroughness
DIGNITY has to do with the deepest foundation of Human Rights
It also refers to being able to live inspired by compassionate lights.
