"At school, and in the churches, the missionaries teach us that the meek will inherit the earth. We have been meek, all of us, and what has our meekness brought us? We have lost our land and ourselves. With meekness we accepted the West, took on all its values and ideals. So much so that we have grown to be ashamed of our own people. That is what the meek have inherited--shame!"
