Meekness is not weakness, but rather controlled strength. It is the opposite of pride. It's submission to God, through a listening ear to what He has to say, and is unselfishness to others. It is not occupied with self at all. Meekness is that meek and quiet spirit, which is greatly valued by God.
Because meekness is the selfless aspect of love, it can only be manifested from a strength of character. Those with a weak character are always occupied with self and with what others think or say to them. When you know who you are in God, what people say to you or think of you, will not move you; you are not self-centered. http://my.homewithgod.com/mkcathy/studies/fruit_meek.html
