A lovely essay. It brings out the meaning of the Latin word - dignitas - that early Christian writers used to capture the intrinsic worth of every human being as created by God and, as such, the concept was a great leap forward beyond “honor” which was something reserved to titled people and something to be earned. Bravissima Robin!
Truly great writing here, Robin. I’m intrigued by this dignity concept and how to apply it in my workplace. Thank you!
Thank you, Heather! I wonder what shifts you will see by centering dignity in your work interactions.
