How to Be Gentle and Lowly

Gentleness is the quality of not being overly impressed by a sense of one's self-importance. To be gentle is to not think highly of yourself, thus you aren't harsh with others. In classical Greek, this word might be used for something like mild words or soothing medicine. You do not harshly look down on someone else because you are not overly impressed with yourself. Rather, you step into care and confront with gentleness.
