La Negazione di Pietro (The Denial of Saint Peter, circa 1610), by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio

A human being must respect own spirituality. Our ability to maintain our spiritual dignity is tested continuously through our lives. We must honor our spirituality, which is higher than any social duty, and must never humiliate our spirituality, being constantly aware of it. Awareness of one's spiritual value is the key to self-respect and courage.
