Dignity is not something big or complicated. It is like a quiet light inside each human being, something that makes us feel alive and valuable. Sometimes, the world is heavy and full of pain, trying to wrap itself around this light like a tangled ball to block its shine. People can hurt us, take away our rights, or try to lock away our voices, but they can never destroy what is inside. Even when our hands are tied and pain is everywhere, the heart keeps beating. They can bind our bodies, but dignity is a spirit they cannot touch. It remains alive, protected, and at peace; bound, but never broken.
