Dignity
A Value Of The Utopian Realism Character Principles
Dignity is the self respect in ones appearance and demeanour. It is also the respect of others to be treated in a way they should be, with dignity.
If one is to wear tattered clothes, have a moustache stained yellow from cigarette smoke, be fat and sickly looking, speak in a very slang and guttural way and sleep on the streets, they have no dignity.
Dignity is care about oneself. A lack of dignity shows a lack of care about ones reputation and quality of character.
One may get drunk at bars every weekend, throw up on themselves and urinate in the streets, thus they have no dignity.
One may have slaves locked in cages, depriving them of their humanity and treating them as objects, as less than what they are worth, with a lack of dignity.
The police may arrest someone, then throw them into a cell, with a open for all to see toilet and stuck behind a locked door, depriving them of their dignity.
One may allow their partner to boss them around, to tell them what do around the house, when they can go to see friends, what shows they will watch, what time to be home for dinner. They would both be acting without dignity, one of them for treating the other without dignity, as a slave, and the other for accepting their status as a slave without question, without the dignity to stand up for themselves.
People may be told by other people that that they must wear masks, that it is a requirement to be in public wearing a face nappy. The people who obey have no dignity, no self respect, no care about their appearance and their character.
A man may be exposed in a sex scandal, yet hold his head high in dignity, explain what happened and either apologise for his mistakes or defend his actions.
Behaving in a dignified manner is to exert an outward appearance worthy of ones existence as a human being, not as an animal or lesser being. It is to treat others in the same dignified manner one would wish to be treated, as an intelligent living being.
It is acceptable for a dog to obey commands such as ‘sit, roll over, shake” but if a human were to respond to such commands, it would be undignified, for they would not be behaving as a rational man with any self respect.
One who is dignified will comb their hair, keep a tidy beard, brush their teeth, wear clean clothes, bathe themselves, sit and stand up straight, look healthy and exude a general overall sense that they are in control of their life.
One whose bedroom is littered with empty coke bottles, who is obese and only orders junk food is undignified. They do not care about their appearance, health or cleanliness. It is as if they have given up on hope and are attempting to slowly kill themselves.
Those with dignity care about their appearance because they care about themselves. They will not humble themselves before others, they will not degrade or humiliate themselves, for they have self respect and know there worth.
Why is dignity so important and why is it a necessary value for one to be good?
Without dignity, one does not care about who or what they vote on, they simply do as they are told without question, without the self dignity to consider why they do what they do and if it’s the right thing or not.
One who has no dignity will receive vaccinations because they are told to, because they have no respect, no true care for how they are perceived by society, only a desire to fit into the popularist belief system, regardless of how degrading and humiliating it may be.
One who has dignity and who values objective reality will go against the mainstream to maintain their dignity.
The dignified will not humble themselves for the benefit of society if they are not violently forced to.
The undignified will do what ever is necessary to exist inside a pecking order which allows them to exist with the least possible effort. They would prefer to live at the bottom as a nobody without effort then to be their own individual man with a little work.
The undignified are gateways of immorality, enablers for men of evil to deceive, coerce and order into creating the structures of dystopian societies.
The undignified lack boundaries of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. They find it very difficult if not impossible to rationally consider, evaluate and judge right and wrong behaviour. They lack dignity and they lack self respect, which stems from a lack of confidence in ones own ability to be real, to be a grown man or woman who is responsible for their thoughts and actions. Dignity is not only to do with ones outward physical appearance, but their actions which define them. A clean cut man man wearing a suit may be walking down the street, yet be wearing a mask. He is caring about his physical appearance, but does not care enough to learn that by wearing a mask, he is showing that he is a lazy, stupid, indoctrinated fool who thinks so little of himself and does not believe he is worthy of 10 minutes of research into the efficacy of masks and the real intent behind them. He is showing dignity, but only up to a degree. He is showing only superficial dignity, yet openly displaying a lack of intellectual dignity.
One who has dignity cannot delegate critical aspects of life to another.
If one realises or learns that by voting for tv actors to rule them, by supporting brutal psychopaths to enforce corporate policy, and that by listening to indoctrinated drug dealers they are lacking dignity to such a degree they are effectively not only digging their own grave, but the grave of all civilisation, they can then decide to regain their dignity by ceasing immoral activities which demonstrate intellectual indignity.
When one ceases to support entertainment figures in their real life quest for power, condemns the actions of brainwashed thugs and learns to manage their own body without the influence of toxic pharmaceuticals, then they are on a path to becoming an intellectually dignified man.
Dignity is treating oneself in a way which they are deserving of and treating others the same. Not just superficially, but intellectually.
One may have an employee, which they treat right on the surface, but treat in a manner which is demonstrating intellectual indignity. They may pay them right, be polite and be kind to them, but not allow them to lock up the shop after a decade of loyal employment, not trusting them to do such a simple task that they could have learnt in their first month. The employer is treating him in a way less than he should.
If a dignified man were to behave in an undignified manner, he would feel shame, guilt and remorse for his actions. If he were to treat himself as less than he should, he would feel the negative emotional consequences due to his indignity.
Dignity differs to self esteem in the respect that it is more attached to ones appearance, it is the end results of ones actions, the appearance of how their behaviours make them look, as opposed to the actions directly themselves.
For one can smoke a cigarette in a dignified or undignified manner. One can hold their weight in a dignified or undignified manner. One can eat a slice of cake with or without dignity. It is not the actions in their totality which make an act or way of being undignified, but the manner in which the act is conducted. One can smoke a cigarette with superficial dignity, but cannot escape the fact that it is intellectually undignified. One may be able to smoke natural tobacco in an intellectually dignified manner if they are a shaman or other type of character who does not consider himself an intellectual or particularly health focused. If one was a personal trainer or health fanatic and yet smoked, they would be demonstrating intellectual indignity, for it is unbefitting for one to contradict his values so openly.
If one believed they were intelligent and were actually intelligent in some fields, yet did things which were totally naive, foolish and irresponsible, they could be considered intellectually undignified. If one was generally a clever man, yet when it came to vaccines or the shape of the earth chose to ignore reality and only decided to believe the official narrative, they would be intellectually indignant. Not honouring themselves to investigate very easily revealable and obvious truths shows a lack of ones respect of their minds ability to know truth from falsehood, which is expressive of one being mentally undignified.
One who not only has physical dignity but intellectual dignity will do their best to align their mind with reality. Because for one to live their life believing lies and fantasy created by monsters, is the highest form of indignity one can show to their mind, themselves and to others who have the intellectual capacity to see them for what they truly are. When one believes literal nonsense, how can they not be a fool? If they believe they are smart for believing nonsense, how does this not make them appear even more foolish? What is a fool if not a boy who failed to become a man because of his mental indignity?
Self esteem must be earnt, dignity is inherent.
If one does not respect what they already are automatically, without any work, then they put themselves into a negative deficit of value to self.
When one respects and honours their self beyond their standard intrinsic worth, this is when they can raise their value of self and build self esteem, to become more than what they were yesterday.
Dignity is a beautiful, fully grown tree one has been born with, that they must nurture daily to maintain. If one acts indignantly, they are attacking this tree. If they continue on this path, they will be chopping off branches and violating that which should not be violated. If one wishes to regain their dignity, they must stop assaulting their tree and allow it to regrow into it's natural, beautiful self.
Self esteem on the other hand starts as a little seedling with ones birth. The more one nurtures it, the larger and larger it grows. There is practically no limit to how large ones self esteem tree can grow.
For one to be superficially dignified, they must take care in their appearance and manner.
For one to be intellectually dignified, they must take care in what they believe.
For one to treat others with dignity, they must abide by the golden rule of equity.
Sharon and Jeff sat a cafe, enjoying a coffee and having a nice chat.
Sharon asked Jeff how he did what he did “How is it that you have the time to learn all this stuff? How can you learn what the shape of the earth is, that the government are a bunch of crooks, that the legal system is a scam, that religion is a control mechanism, that sacrifice and surrender are evil and that we control our own health? Isn’t it hard to figure out what is true? What is the point anyways? Why do you do what you do Jeff?”
Sharon looked at Jeff with intensity, fascinated and in a kind of disbelief that anyone can discover so much or would even want to.
Jeff looked into Sharon’s pupils and smiled.
“Because I have dignity Sharon, because I have dignity.”
