"Dignity consists not in possessing honors, but in the consciousness that we deserve them." -Aristotle
This quote really struck me because often times I think I am being selfish if I think I deserve something. I would have to say my sense of self dignity definitely needs worked on a bit; but regardless, I think what Aristotle is saying is important. Everybody deserves human dignity. No one should have to earn it or be worthy. Instead, as humans, we should treat one another with dignity and respect. In treating others with dignity and respect, we should also realize that we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect in return.
