114 ARE YOU DIGNIFIED 1
EVERY EXPERIENCE IN YOUR LIFE IS A LESSON OF
ILLUMINATION. HOW YOU REACT + HANDLE SITUATIONS TELL
YOU ABOUT AREAS THAT NEED strenghtening. HOW DOES IT
FEEL TO HAVE everyTHING BUT YOU DON'T FEEL SPECIAL
AND YOU DON'T FEEL HONORED. InsteaD YOU FeeL aSHAMED
DIGNITY IS NOT SOMETHING YOU COULD DIRECTLY IDENTIFY
WITH.wHEN YOU SUSPEND Your OWN OPINION, YOU're aBLE
TO ABSORD SOMETHING ELSE WHICH GIVES YOU MORE POWER
THE TALMUD SAYS A GIFT THAT IS NOT EARNED IS TO BE
THE BREAD OF SHAME. BECAUSE WE ARE ASHAMED, THE
EARNING OF SOMETHING MEANS NOTHING CAN Replace
THAT AND NOBODY COULD EVER TAKE IT From YOU. YOU
COULD HAVE EVERYGHING IN LIFE BUT IF YOU HAVE NOT
SELF CONFIDENCE + SELF ESTeem what Is It WORTH IF
YOU DON'T FEEL YOU ARE UNIQUE + SPECIAL. YOU COULD
ONLY APPRECIATE DIGNITY when you DON'T HAVE IT.
YOUR CONFIDENCE COMES FROM WITHIN + YOU DON'T NEED
someone ELSE TO VALIDATE YOU. SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT
YOURSELF. IF you're A PERSON THAT HAS NO SELF respect
YOU'LL TREY TO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO command SELF RESPECT.
OFTEN WE TRY TO CHANGE OUR IDENTITY TO TRY TO compensate
FOR A WOUNDED IDentity. BUT IF YOU Don't HAVE A
FINDAMENTAL DIGNITY, YOU LOOK FOR SOMEONE TO IDentify
WITH. PEOPLE COULD GIVE YOU RESPECT BUT IF YOU
DON'T Respect YOURSELF, You're NOT Gonna Feel GOOD
ABOUT YOURSELF. IF YOUDON'T HAVE SELF RESPECT, IT
MEANS NOTHING BECAUSE IT COMES FROM WITHIN.
SOME PEople who ARE INSULTED AND MIStreatED IN
SOME WAY.It WOULD HAVE No effect AT ALL TO SOME
PEOPLE. IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU
EveryBODY HAS DIFFERENT EXPECTATIONS OF PEOPLE.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOURSELF. WHAT IS YOUR AttituDE
ARE YOU ALWAYS GUILTY BEFORE You're Proven innocent
OR ARE YOU ALWASY INNOcent BEFORE Your Proven
GUILTY. AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN WHEN THEY ARE
GUILTY, TEHEY TINK THAT THeyRE INNOCENT. WE ALL GO
THROUGH CHALLenges IN LIFE BUT WHICH IS FAR
WORSE, THE LONLINESS [sp.?] OF PAIN BECAUSE THERE
IS NOBODY WITH YOU OR THE PAIN ITSELF. WHEN
WE'RE ALONG WE FEEL THERE IS NO HOPE AND WE
DON'T HAVE POWER TO FIGHT. HOWEVER WHEN PEOPLE
GIVE YOU A CONNECTION AND You're PROTECTED
IT GIVES YOU CONFIDENCE. SOMBODY WHO HAS A
STRONG DIGNIFIED SOUL IS NOT AFRAID BECAUSE
THEYRE COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO BE open to you
AND THEY'RE NOT AFRAID TO BE VULNERABLE.
