meek

This term describes a personality characterized by submission and a lack of aggression. In modern secular usage, it often carries a negative connotation of weakness, passivity, or a lack of confidence, suggesting someone who is easily intimidated or dominated by others. In a spiritual or biblical context, the word shifts toward a positive virtue. Here, it represents a disciplined strength—the ability to remain patient, humble, and composed despite provocation or hardship, rather than a lack of willpower.
