Question from the Internet:

“Where does human dignity come from? How can it be derived?”

Human “dignity” is the “dignity of the human ego”. We consider our self-esteem, the ego’s purity, respect our highest, greatest asset. People are even ready to sacrifice their physical life to preserve their dignity, the respect of their egoistic self.

This is our inherently egocentric, subjective misunderstanding, as we believe we are independent, free, standalone beings that have any personal merit, dignity. In truth, we are all but single cells of a single, closed, fully integrated Human “super-organism”, a single species as observed from the viewpoint of Nature.

Our merit, dignity is measured only by our selfless, unconditional, mutually responsible, and mutually complementing contribution to the whole human collective and through humanity to Nature. This is not according to some morality, ideology, philosophy, or religion, it is according to the fundamental laws of integral Nature.

But this we need to learn and practice against and above our inherent nature and subjective perception through the right, purposeful and practical educational method.
