Matthew 5:5 read against the doormat idea of meekness: the word translated 'meek' is the opposite of resentful and angry and means tamed, as a wild animal is tamed. The meek man is the self-disciplined man in complete control of his moods, who sees only the finest, thinks only the best and dares to assume the best concept of self; men who make themselves worms in their own sight have lost the vision, and any concept of self less than the best robs us of the earth.
