EDITORIALS Dignity It is sometimes difficult to maintain one's dignity. In fact, it is even hard to de fine the word. What exactly is dignity? The generally-accepted definition of the word is that dignity is a quality of character which wins the admiration and respect of others It is also associated with being noble. To us, dignity is not something re served for the upper crust, so to speak. It is a trait that many uneducated and impoverished men and women acquire. It is always gratifying to see one who has not made a million dollars or who has not been fortunate enough to acquire an ex pensive education, nevertheless conduct himself with quiet dignity. Dignity is the opposite of loudness a n d common behavior. It is a quality which prevents an individual who posses ses it from intruding. Genuine people do not "affect" dig nity. This is phony. Dignity itself is not forced or stiff. It can be as warm and simple and down-to-earth as people them selves. But it is readily apparent when a dignified person is in one's presence. And it is always somewhat pleasanter, as a re sult. ; ;ufL So, then, we might all do well to keep in mind the dignity and character which we should like to exemplify. Whether we be a simple laborer, or a wealthy execu tive, we can walk the streets with head high, a noble bearing and conduct our lives with dignity and principle. And if we do this, with faith, anil dedication to what one believes right, the storms and bitter blows of life will come and go and nothing can destroy that hard-to-define quality the dignity of the individual human being. And, meanwhile, life will have been more pleasant, more will have been ac complished and a better example set for those around you. Dignity is worth the ef fort.
