It is the meekness being born out of having endured extreme conditions of dreadful suffering.
The real sense of the word, to be ''meek''. Not a weakness, but a strength;

Patient, forbearing, long-suffering, gentle, mild, humble, peaceful, modest.

I will not yield my glory to another. - Isaiah 48:10-11

There is a purpose to suffering.
There was a purpose to having suffered.
