Our Identity - "Self Respect"
Society respects such people who cherish personal values and practice it, contrary to the opinion, that life is comfortable when you compromise and sacrifice your values for others. You cannot forgo everything for others happiness. A part of yourself at the least must be kept happy and contented.
I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself. I guessed life was like that. You gained and you lost, and if you saved anything from the ruins, even if only a shred of self-respect, it was enough to take you through the next bit.
So we say that - "Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Man cannot do away with ‘Self-Respect.’ Out of the foremost personal values, ‘Self Respect’ comes first. Self-confidence is of great importance without which nothing in this world becomes accessible.
Man loses his self-identity when he loses his self-respect and voluntarily subjects himself to a life of willful submission. The mind is taken over by the alien forces in full control, making a clean sweepstakes of- all evil practice.
Even slavery does not spare him the comfort that he deserves and finally, he becomes programmed like a robot, unaware that he is controlled and monitored. Even under dreadful circumstances an individual must not give way to degradable attitude and must be prepared to relinquish any level of fortune.
A person who shows up limitations is matured and balanced. He need not make attempt to cure all the evils and fight all demons to clean the world. Instead if he succeeds in parts and in units he can be more nearer to being a perfect human being.
Self respect is so very important that it should not be sacrificed under any condition and circumstance. If you feel the impact of hurt, you must retaliate and stand up to your ideology and belief. Your conceived notions or any attitude must not be a hindrance to others. If you find joy in yourself you can best run it as long as you want it. Never underestimate nor overestimate others .If you come across someone superior to your abilities, never shy away, you may better yourself by adding something you may not have. Equally never belittle another human being thinking that you are superior, you may be humiliated by your own attitude.
To hurt, putting others into misery you are only making yourself miserable. There is no way you can feel proud, by exercising your power over others, if they can not publicly condemn you, at least their silence would demolish the false make up you seem to have.
The worst part of our being can not be any better, if we do not realize and continue to tread the path of falsehood and live like sub humans. There is severe agony and crucifying death if the wisdom is engulfed by the black clouds of ignorance.
Our previous birth does not give us the slightest indication to what it was like before, neither our future harbinger a life of glory and discloses what is in store for us. We are in fact destined for a meek, subservient experience leading our lives in a state of oblivion.
We all need to be highly conscious of our greater self. Respect our own being and never look down nor denigrate ourselves. There can never be a holy identify than ourselves.
Humane values govern all life’s instances and circumstances, in whatever circumstances we are placed in life. To retain and nurture these elements would give us peace of mind in the worst of predicaments. To posses that blissful experience one needs to have sustained understanding and practice higher values. It could be difficult, but you would be better off than having accepted negative standing in life, and the burden of carrying the guilt which is overwhelming.
One must not sacrifice self respect and stoop low in order to take advantage in life. High moral values are associated to self and it can not be a denigrated and rendered cheap. Neither the slaughterer nor the victim has any claim to persecute each other in order to satisfy or to be in an advantageous position.
If the job you hold becomes uninteresting, and scope for growth turns out to be volatile .Every day becomes unbearable and disenchanting, the best recourse is not to submit you to the situation endlessly, but take a firm stand and resign. Whatever be the cause and effect. Search for alternatives and confidently go ahead living with your instincts. If we pursue what is best for us we invariably achieve our objectives.
Life do not permit us to live in peace beyond a certain point, if we stretch beyond boundaries it will engulf us. It is a question of timing, we need to be sensitively being aware when it hurts and seek solutions immediately. Time lived is time enjoyed, time unlived is time lost. The value of a thing is known, only when it is lost.
We alone are responsible to our lives, if there is what is called as destiny let it remain but to bury oneself thoughtlessly in the quagmire of self indifference is totally damaging to our own psychic.
Self respect is an evaluated measure of one’s own state of wellbeing, a certain concern for security and self protection. If the boundaries cross limitations, this concern must ignite within and come to rescue on its own accord.
Society greatly respects such a standing and individual, Setting standards and examples.
However wretched and discriminating is the human circumstance, a person of good mettle will make it aware for others that the ridicule aimed at him is just superfluous and frivolous and dose not hold any substance. This wonderful nature must prevailing all mortals; it is the true health, wealth and happiness.
Every living creature on this planet is believed to be made of God’s own element, which can never be desecrated by anyone for any purpose or intend. The rich can not holds way on the poor, nor can the poor threaten the rich. The equanimity and goodwill must create the right balances in life.
