The term 'meek' describes a person who is mild, gentle, and not inclined to assert themselves forcefully. Meek individuals are often seen as patient and calm, avoiding confrontation. Despite its seemingly negative connotation of weakness or submissiveness, meekness can denote a strength of character that relies on inner peace and resilience rather than outward aggression.
