Thymos is something like an innate human sense of justice; people believe that they have a certain worth, and when other people act as though they are worth less—when they do not recognize their worth at its correct value—they become angry.

Dignity refers to a person's sense of self-worth; indignation arises when something happens to offend that sense of worth.
