Watch Out For People With No Dignity

I have come across many different types of people in life. Some possessing personalities and qualities that I dislike. When I think about the personalities of the people I dislike the most, a person with no dignity springs to the top of the list.

A person with no dignity cannot be trusted or relied upon.

One of the easiest ways to identify them is by the way they talk. Have you ever come across a person who likes to say things such as the following in public?

• I have no money, I am finding it hard to eat

• I have no money, I am finding it hard to buy clothes

• I just about found the money to send the kids to school this week

• I just about found the money to pay the rent this month

• My girlfriend is giving me so many problems, and none of it is my fault

• Life and the world is always against me

Well, this is a person with very little or no dignity.

What this person is doing, when they say such things is this. They are laying down their value system, and putting it in public so everybody knows not to expect a lot from them.

If you think about it, a normal person with dignity would not do this. They may tell a close friend about their problems, but they would never announce it in public.

If you have travelled to different countries and have spoken to some of the poorest people in the world, you will still find dignity. They may talk about not having much money, but they will always highlight the good things they have and do each day.

People will try to hide or downplay the things that they consider bad in their lives, since not doing this may make them look bad in the eyes of others. If a person has dignity, they will try to do anything to uphold it.

So why would a person tell everyone about all the things they consider bad in their life?

Well, here is some of the reasons why a person may do this.

They do this to have an easy way out of any commitments they may make to others. So if for example; let’s say you lend them money. When they cannot or do not want to pay you back. They will say something such as this; “I told you I was finding life hard, what did you expect?”

When they promise to meet you somewhere and then do not turn up. They will say; “But you know what I am like, when my girlfriend gives me trouble, I don’t feel like going anywhere”.

When a person with no dignity says and does things that show no attempt to hide it, you must consider this. What values do they have in life?

As I said earlier, when a person has dignity, they will try to do anything to uphold it. So if a person has none, then what are they ashamed of?

This is a good question to ask, since if a person has no dignity and low values. What can you then trust them to do?

The answer to that question is; NOTHING!

It is for this very reason that I stay away, and cut-off any friendship with someone of this nature. They do not value the things that someone with dignity does, and when two people have completely different value systems, they cannot get along.

When you a person with dignity, place strong values on things such as family and good name, they will care very little about these things, and if you allow them, they may even destroy these things you hold dear.

If you allow a person with no dignity to play a part in your life; they could do some of the following:

• Use your good name to get people to do things for them
• Disrespect the people that are close to you, such as family and good friends
• Not uphold their end of an arrangement
• Just not care about how something could affect you altogether

I therefore live my life by the following saying; “If you have no dignity, then I have no time for you.”

Remember, keep an eye out for them, and don’t allow them to have one single minute of your day.

So until next time, stay dignified.
