Meekness

"Impatience, irritation, bad temper, and hatred."
All are displays of weakness.

Mastery of self - part of true meekness - is for the strong.
It avoids answering back too quickly, speaking wounding words...
Moves which we regret afterwards.

Know how to wait for the right moment to express judgments with conviction.
This is meekness.

The lack of it results from pride and produces "loneliness and sterility."
...And provides the reason to be surrounded by "indifference, coldness, resentment, and lack of trust."

Remember: "The meek shall inherit the earth."


Ref. Patience: The Path to Victory (Charles Belmonte)
