I have never liked the term nobility assuming it involved the oppression of others. Now I find nobility has a subtlety I was unaware of which can also mean dignity of mind and elevation of soul. I sometimes find that struggle, approached in a way that is creative not destructive, can foster growth, resilience and open us to grace and a quiet dignity....it's often a privilege to be with people who have struggled, without diminishing themselves or others, and they often glow with this kind of dignified coherence that can be transmitted somehow to others.

LOVE the illustration and the sentiment. Thank you for sharing
Love the poem and love the illustration.
An insightful powerful piece of writing. The sentiment within it I agree with.
Excellent insight Tim, it is a term I also use, the noble working class, mothers scrubbing the steps of brick terrace houses proud of just being, nobility as a state of mind that sums up a feeling of worth and good, beyond the dazzle of coins and hierarchies, the better man.
Thank you Tim
'Here, here!' Or is it 'Hear, hear'?
