The weak of our world must be protected; from first principle one would think that the duty to protect the weak would befall the strong? Yes! Yet in-fact it is the strong that terrorise the weak and subjugates them to a life of unhappiness and suffering.
The job of protecting the weak fall squarely on the shoulder of the meek; but wait! The meek I hear you cry, ‘aren’t the weak and the meek the same?’ you ask. No, the two groups are different, however it is a misconception and ill-understanding held by the majority.
The meek are a class of people supremely strong that have no desire to show or prove how invincible they are; the meek are extremely strong that they can with hold their own needs for a time to empower someone else; the meek are totally strong that they are capable of standing alone to fight injustice. Humans and human nature is such that when someone shows kindness, we mistake it as weakness; to such, the meek are not weak, and they will teach you an unforgettable lesson if you make that mistake with them. The film ‘Superman’ exemplifies the nature of meekness.
The Scriptures, say that ‘the meek shall inherit the earth’; an interesting observation to make about the characters portrayed in these writing, is that these ‘Meek’ people, were individuals of Devine strength and strong in the truest sense of the work.
