If I get my hands on them they are either slaves or dead. Who am I?

Meek people have as many negative and positive qualities as the ones who aren't meek. Power is overestimated in our society, leaving kindness and other feminine qualities in a state of underestimation.

What does meekness have to do with maturity?

Depends, religion, as in the cult type attitude, people must do certain things to be praised, perhaps, but faith, that personal belief, I don't see why.

There is a quote that kind of, makes sense.

You can either live thinking nothing is a miracle, or everything is.

So, what is the harm in embracing the world, I'm not religious, but it would be damn nice not to be terrified of dying.

I like the quote, it tempers my attitude a little.

Me too, its suited for either super positive people or negative. I'm a positive person, I may not see it as a "miracle" per say, but I do see the world in wonders :)

well atheism doesnt make men of children, if nothing else i'm suprised that you dont find the meek good for your ego.

I'm like that with atheism, no matter how bad things might get i know i will never be as badly off as atheists. I like the meek, theyre generally more supportive.
