meek , not weak

"disposition to be patient and long suffering. subduedness. humility, humbleness - a disposition to be humble; a lack of false pride; "not everyone regards humility as a virtue"


versus


"1. the state or quality of being weak; lack of strength, firmness, vigor, or the like; feebleness. 2. an inadequate or defective quality, as in a person's character; slight fault or defect. 3. a self-indulgent liking or special fondness: a weakness for the opera. 4. an object of such liking or fondness."


-----

Being meek is to submit to authority, to show respect or reverence where it is due. To be humble, not to boast in oneself. 
Being meek is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength, a sign of bravery. 
It is not weak to be courteous and kind and submit to authority
