He is not always on the defensiveâ€¦ To be truly meek means we no longer protect ourselves, because we see there is nothing worth defendingâ€¦ The man who is truly meek never pities himself, he is never sorry for himself. He never talks to himself and says, â€œYou are having a hard time, how unkind these people are not to understand you.”
