lol cowards die earlier, worrying about everything actually.
i think being meek and being a coward is totally different.

haha. sigh.
There is nothing wrong about being meek as long as you submit for the right reasons and to the right persons.
However there would surely be times when you have to stand up for what you believe is right even if the whole world is against you.
Some people if not the majority even think that being meek is actually protecting the people they love.
Tyrannical and corrupt governments all over the world take the advantage of the knowlege that the majority of people they rule are timid. A timid population is what gives a tyrant his power. Timid people are also ignorant and selfish people of today's society. They even usually put the blame on the victims of corrupt system. Talk about rubbing salt on another person wounds.
But even the powerful choose their enemies wisely. I learn a lot about the behavior of men from walking my dog. Stray dogs only dare to intimidate what they see as weaker or quieter dog. My dog also only dare to bark at quiet dogs or smaller animals like cats. The more passive the quieter dog is the more daring the intimidating dogs would behave. Many men follow the pattern of dogs.

mmm yup yup i agree.
Except, timid people are selfish?
maybe u should look at wat God mean by being meek. meek in the sense of not running the rat race to climb higher in this ending system.in the sense of not trying to be mighty men of power(tink politics).meek as in in total submission to God alone and do his will.fulfill ur vow to God as the day u were baptised, to hand over ur life to do his word.thats meek.
