Dignity is the best gift you can give yourself.

All one's life, one longs to live. Although all beings are equal, it is an indisputable fact that in the eyes of some people, people's status and occupation are graded. This has led to a secular perception that bosses are superior to nannies and that Audi drivers are superior to bicyclists. When there are many people who hold this view, this hierarchy will affect the social order. My father is Li Gang, a well-known famous saying, is produced in this context.

Don't laugh at the ignorance and arrogance of the people who say this sentence with the mentality of listening to crosstalk. As a social evil, everyone's heart will more or less objectively hide the concept of hierarchy and look down on the so-called inferior people with a certain sense of superiority. Even Peng Guoqin could not avoid vulgarity. She said she lived at the bottom of society. This is also an objective fact. Peng Guoqin proved by her actions that there was love, light and heat in her heart, and she gave herself enough dignity with the appreciation of others.

Frankly, there is a contrast between hierarchy and self-approval. No matter what industry you are engaged in, and no matter what your social status is, this contrast truly lives in everyone's heart and directly affects people's judgment of survival value and social concept. It is human instinct to maintain dignity. Hurting self-esteem will always be regarded as something that makes people angry, while having face will make people happy. Indeed, some people will associate the dignity of others with status and occupation. They will praise a boss with stars and moon, but disdain to talk to a sanitation worker.

This is a utilitarian mentality, and the negative impact is huge. Take Wang Zhi, a powerful official of Ming Dynasty, as an example. His status was so high that he only knew Wang Zhi but did not know that there was an emperor. However, he was cruel and plundered, and his subjects wanted to eat his flesh alive. When he was alive, he raised his false self-esteem, but did he really have dignity? Look again, small people can also get a very high evaluation, who knows the deeds of the dung workers? If dignity can be divided into two halves, one half is the recognition of oneself, the other half must come from the true and objective evaluation of others and history, and the latter is more important than the former.

History shows us the essence of dignity: dignity for those who love, dignity for those who give, dignity for those who benefit others. Dignity, in this sense, has social attributes. If dignity becomes a slave to selfish desires, it is doomed to be worthless. There is no distinction between high and low among those who truly have dignity. Giving dignity to oneself is the best gift; giving respect to others is the real blessing.
