What words do not have a connotation that evokes images of action aggression or boldness?

It's tricky to list words that *never* evoke action, aggression, or boldness, as even seemingly passive words can be interpreted in those ways depending on context. However, we can identify categories of words that are generally associated with more passive, peaceful, or contemplative qualities:

Words describing states of being:

* Calm, serene, tranquil, peaceful, gentle, still, quiet, relaxed, mellow, passive, introspective, contemplative, thoughtful.

Words describing emotions:

* Love, compassion, empathy, kindness, joy, gratitude, contentment, peace, serenity.

Words describing natural phenomena:

* Sunshine, breeze, raindrops, clouds, flowers, trees, mountains, rivers.

Words describing artistic expressions:

* Music, art, poetry, dance, literature, beauty, harmony, creativity.

Words related to learning and knowledge:

* Read, study, learn, explore, discover, understand, wisdom, knowledge.

Words related to home and comfort:

* Cozy, warm, soft, comfortable, familiar, safe, home, hearth, family.

Words related to spirituality:

* Spirit, soul, faith, belief, hope, trust, surrender, acceptance.

Words describing colors:

* Pale, soft, muted, pastel, light, gentle.

Remember, connotation is highly subjective. A word like "strong" can evoke feelings of action and boldness in some contexts, but in others it can be associated with resilience and endurance, both of which are not necessarily aggressive.

It's important to consider the specific context and the reader's understanding when choosing words to avoid unwanted connotations.
