Section PDFBlessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5)
1 March 2010
Society is hypocritical. It preaches civility and courtesy, but praises aggression
and audacity. We mock Caspar Milquetoast, but emulate Rambo and the
Terminator. As children, we learn that bullies control the playground, and as
adults, we learn that dictators and tyrants control the world. If we want to live
in
a more civilized world, we must reject bluster and bravado, and instead learn
to
respect and appreciate the meek. To quote Swami Sivananda, "Meekness is not
weakness."
