Human dignity

"I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King is such a good example of modeling human dignity, how to treat others and how to expect to be treated.  We who are caregivers for someone with dementia have the opportunity to model for others how to treat someone with physical and cognitive diminishment.  I expect others to treat Dwane with kindness, and they usually do. Doesn't that tell a lot about a person?  How they treat someone less capable than themselves?  We have an opportunity to help others to treat all people with dignity and respect.  We benefit as a human race when we increase our capacity for treating ourselves and all others with dignity.
