Pope Francis' quote reminded me of how my actions affect others. As a person with and for others, I am expected to demonstrate basic human decency, respect the people around me, and recognize their dignity as human beings. This quote calls us to be mindful of the way we act and be careful to not overlook the human dignity of others because it also defies ours.

"When people begin to ignore human dignity, it will not be long before they begin to ignore human rights." ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton

I fully concur with this quote. Dignity means valuing and respecting the rights of every human  and being equally treated, and human dignity justifies the rights of every human. So let us value human dignity and show respect, kindness, and equality to others, as they will also do the same thing to you, and with that we also show our respect and care for human rights. In essence, valuing human dignity means valuing human rights.

“Human Dignity demands courage to defend oneself”.          -Mahatma Gandhi

# data[].attributes.body
Mahatma Gandhi is one of the twentieth century’s greatest spiritual leaders. This particular quote encapsulates the importance of keeping the rights of ourselves to be valued and respected.

As what Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Human Dignity demands courage to defend oneself.” This only tells us that sometimes or most of the time perhaps, we are the one who is responsible of our own dignity. One shall defend himself whether it is related in morality, ethics, law, and politics as this also supplement our enlightenment-era.

Back when I was a child, some elders are always telling me that sometimes we are the one who can really save ourselves from the adversities we are facing and I certainly believe on that.

In conclusion, we have our own responsibilities and roles that we should be aware of as a human to protect our dignity.

“We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them.” - John Calvin

I chose this quote as I truly stand by its message - as all of us our made in the image and likeness of God, we are called to see how He is present in each and every one of us. Moreover, as human dignity is inherent, inviolable, and inalienable, we must put it into our hearts to always recognize individuals as worthy of love and respect, not quickly judging them for their actions but instead trying to see things from their perspective.
