Off topic for a moment - I have often wondered how the 'meek' would react if they inherited the earth, that is, if meekness is a passive attitude. Would it would be like - "Er, thank you very much for the earth - er, well what do we do with it now?" |
well, consider meek in its original meaning "gentle or mild of temper; forbearing under injury or annoyance; humble, unassuming" rather momre positive as an inheritor, don't you think? meek as a wishy-washy pushover is ca1300.
