The whole event dignifies family life. Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein. But then they became intoxicated with power. Insecure men beat their wives. Unions were founded with the very legitimate goal of counterbalancing the power of unscrupulous bosses - but in many cases power went to the heads of union officials.
Power is what people look for.
But there is dignity in weakness. There is honour in being a nobody. The Son of God was born of the princely line of David, but that was not what people mostly knew about him. Rather, he was known as the son of Joseph, raised in a nondescript town. And he was born in a stable and laid in a manger, because there was no room for him in the inn.
