Everyone in this world is created for a reason, we are all created to fill a valuable place in this world, to complete the mission that is assigned to us and then leave.
Diversity is the reality of our world, I am different than who you are, and you are different than who I am, but in the end we both carry the heavy sense of worthiness inside us, Just by being both humans …
I dream … I feel … I cry … I think about the future and hope,
I make a wish at the end of each year, and dream about a better year.
Do you know that I feel the pain?!!! … yes
yes I feel the physical pain, but I feel more the pain that is beyond the limits of my body, it is the chronic unbearable one …

when simply get humiliated …
just because we are different … in different situations we allow ourselves to humiliate each other…

As Schachter noted, “it has been generally assumed that a violation of human dignity can be recognized even if the abstract term cannot be defined. ‘I know it when I see it even if I cannot tell you what it is’”.
More generally, etymology of the word “humiliation” has a universal characteristic in the sense that in all languages the word involves “downward spatial orientation” in which “something or someone is pushed down and forcefully held there”.

Violations of human dignity as degradation refer to acts that degrade the value of human beings. These are acts that, even if done by consent, convey a message that diminishes the importance or value of all human beings. They consist of practices that human beings should not be subjected to, regardless of whether subjective humiliation is involved. (Wikipedia, dignity)

you should be grateful and thankful … it is not given to everybody …
it could easily be the other way round,
you have been privileged and chosen to protect the humanity and rise it up to the highest valuable state.
Humiliating others, is humiliating the humanity including yourself, and humiliating the one who chose you for that grace, God …
He will not regret it, because he knows you, but you will regret it because you have simply missed the point …
