The ability to be meek stems from the internal power of the individual. It is meekness that respects other individuals and lets them experience and grow, but with the influence of those who are meek. And those people who are in disputes are finding that as long as they are dominating the other party, very little can get resolved. Power leads to negotiations, which leads to resolution. Only when the two parties are equal can real progress take place.
Power is an important element of life.
Money is a symbol of power, and of Christ's sayings, about one sixth are related to the use of money. Much of religious writings address the mistreatment of people by the wealthy and powerful. My experience is that most people don't want to negotiate. They just want to feel that they got the best that you offer others and expect to do the same for you. Our lives should not be dominated by a preoccupation with getting, maintaining, and using power.
