Ordinarily,a man who has vast wealth,enviable titles or high academic degrees may be regarded as a dignified man.But man's dignity does not depend on these extraneous factors.Dignity is commanded by intrinsic worth.It is possible to acquire wealth by dishonest dealings,enviable,titles by hypocritical pretensions,high academic degrees by unfairmeans.
Such possessions,
therefore,do not raise him high in the estimation of the society.Rather he is held to disrepute in all
quarters if his conduct and character are reprehensible.Even a man of noble birth may stoop very low in conducting his life and lose his inherited dignity.Thus all such dazzling possessions are but empty moonshine in the way to become dignified.A dignified man is he who follows the higher values of life and maintains good manners in all circumstances.He is gentle in nature,well in behaviour,honest in thought,truthful in communication kind to the poor,friendly to all and diligent in his vocation of life.Even if a man having such qualities does not possess vast wealth,does not have high academic degrees,does not take birth in a noble family or does not hold a high position,he is treated with great respect by all and sundry.Thus the real dignity of a man rests on what he actually is by his conduct and character and by his way of life.
