Maintaining Dignity during Difficult Times

Everything can be taken from a man but for one thing: the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given situation, to choose one’s own way. Viktor Frankl

How can dignity be kept alive when the going gets tough?

 

What is the deep basis of dignity?
