Dignity
"God is that which excels in dignity all other objects" (18). This is such a beautiful line to me. He has such a wonderful understanding of God, and this sentence exemplifies it beautifully. I love the use of the word dignity here. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the word dignity as, "a. The quality of being worthy or honorable; worthiness, worthiness, worth, nobleness, excellence" (OEDonline). I don't know what else to say about this, because the definition of it says it all. Using this word to explain God is so beautiful, and I have never hear anyone do that before. This also gives a more clear understanding of how important it is for us to maintain our dignity as human beings. Dignity is something given to us by the Lord, and this definition shows to it is a part of himself that his has placed within us. Therefore, we should protect and cultivate our dignity.
P.S. I commented on Abbey Griffin's post
