Meekness

Luigino Bruni ()

A chapter in A Lexicon of Social Well-Being, 2015, pp 92-95 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The words that do not age can die out and be revived in every era. Meekness is one such word, which was very great in the Psalms, the Gospels, and ancient oriental civilizations. It has been made even more sublime by the great meek people of history — Father Kolbe, the many martyrs of yesterday and today, Gandhi, and many others unknown to the news media who, with their humble meekness, make the earth a better place each day for all.
