I have sometimes wondered about the quality of dignity and what that means. Today I felt that it is really about knowing beyond doubt our own value and worth, regardless of external circumstances or how other people relate to us. Our Western culture tends to drive us towards proving our worth by what we achieve, and that can create an exhaustion as we keep trying to match whatever standards we are trying to live up to.
When we can trust that our value is inherent, simply through being alive, we can relax into ourselves and take action in a more easeful and rested way.
