Humility and meekness are not hand in glove.
A meek black belt would apologise to end the situation even if he was in the right.
A humble bb would simply walk away, knowing if things got out of hand, he could handle it.
Meek people don't speak up for themselves. A humble person will not allow himself to be wronged.
Will not allow himself to be wronged?
I'll use an example;
It's pouring outside. The boss tells a meek person to go and dig a hole, even though it's against the rules, a meek person will do it. A humble person will politely remind the boss about the rules b/c he doesn't want the boss to get into trouble.
I would say; HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
but then, I ain't all the humble or tolerant.
tolerance is the major issue I'm working on.
Yeah well that's great...but you're way off about meekness and humbleness.
A humble, meek person will not necessarily violate their own principles or code of conduct just because they're told they must.
Christ, who was both, submitted to the law, but refused to recant. So I would assume that a humble, meek person who is law abiding may not fight back if told to do something they know is illegal...but they might just not do it and suffer the consequences.
