Treating Others with Dignity

 


The Beautiful Human treats its fellow humans with dignity. 

Why?  Aren't some people more deserving than others?  Shouldn't we just turn our heads away from issues, such as homelessness, inequality, injustice, a failing school system, and unfair working conditions?  After all, isn't it a dog eat dog world?  Every man for himself, right? 

I believe this type of mind-set only acts to divide and hurt others.  We are suppressing human potential and progress.  We are harming our spiritual growth and connection to ourselves and each other.  Within each everyone of us is a Divine Center.  It is infinite in nature and the source of all things. 

In Truth: EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS CONNECTED

If we help our fellow human beings, we are actually helping ourselves.  The same holds true if we hurt another.  With that being said, it makes sense that we should want to help each other.  Personally, I know it feels good to treat others the way I want to be treated.  This is the Golden Rule! 

The Beautiful Human believes everyone should have a place to call their own.  Many people lost their homes during the housing crash.  Greedy bankers, through unethical and illegal business practices, made vast fortunes, while home owners were being thrown out on the street.  Where is the justice when bankers are bailed out for criminal behavior?  If we all come together, I believe we can fix the homelessness problem.

The Beautiful Human treats others with equality.  However, this is not the case for many.  If you are a person of color, a minority, or poor, you will be treated less favorably.  Why should the color of someone's skin or place of origin matter?  Aren't we are all human beings?  Instead of attacking or ridiculing our differences, we should celebrate them. 

Recently, an appalling event took place in Greece: A young African American was beaten to death.  How can we claim to be smarter than animals when act like barbarians with no regard for others?

The Beautiful Human believes in justice for all.  There should be consequences for our behavior.  The American people experienced a great injustice when the big bankers got away with their crimes. Martin Luther King Jr. said it powerfully, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."  People lose faith in the system when people of money and status get off the hook for stealing millions.  There should be a fair and just system for all.

The Beautiful Human believes that children should receive the best education possible.  We should nurture their gifts and talents.  There should not be any cutbacks being made at our public schools.  Why should only the rich receive the best education?  Why not the rest of us?  The government is supposed serve the people, not the corporations and big bankers!  Our children are our future.  It is time to restore our education system.

The Beautiful human believes that employees should be treated with dignity in the workplace.  Cutting hours and benefits, understaffing, not giving employees paid time off, expecting the employee to do the job of 2 or 3 people, or allowing the employee to be verbally abused by the customer, are all signs that an employee is not being treated with dignity and respect.  I also want to point out that the customer is also not being treated with dignity when a company understaffs.  Less employees mean less people on the sales floor and longer lines.  It is common sense that you are not going to get more with less.  You only get what you give.  The better you treat your employees the better they will serve the customers.
