I suppose for some people the recent spike in the word dignity can be seen as a good thing. Which seems to me that the conversation that needs to be held is not about dignity or entitlements but about inequality. There is no dignity in not wanting to think, or to not roll up your sleeves to find the type of results you want. Nor is there dignity in settling for half-measures because that is all you can be bothered to do. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “All labour that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.”Excellence.
