I was searching for information on what I now realize is rankism in personal relationships by first typing in search words like, “invisible,” “treated like (we) don’t exist,” “not even human,” and “like a nobody.” I feel truly blessed because my last search word led me to Robert Fuller’s books and gave me the exact words to describe the tragic consequences suffered by individual people, families, and even entire societies when any person is “nobodied.” So many decent and hardworking folks who are not at all arrogant end up feeding into their own self-fulfilling prophecy that they “deserve to be nobodied,” and we end up in failed relationships and resentful societies. The glossary of terms needed in discussing rankism has helped me in my private life. I have the vocabulary I need to explain and sort things out both to myself and with others.

This past week I started reading Somebodies and Nobodies. I find that Robert Fullers writing resonates everywhere I look. A pointed example: the execution of Saddam Hussein. The indignities he suffered at death will not likely have beneficial effects for anyone in the future.

I am so grateful to have seen Robert Fuller interviewed on C-Span this morning. I look forward to reading his book, sharing it with as many people as I can, speaking about Manifest Dignity and taking action. His message of identifying rankism and rooting it out to move towards the way of dignity is profound and inspiring.
