A story on : The Pen is lighter than A Sword
Answers
Explanation:
The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.
The Power of a pen is Mightier than the Sword. The power that the written word carries is far more harmful and damaging than a sword. At best the sword can only cause physical harm - that too by force. Whereas the written word is strong enough to influence many minds at a time - influence to the extent of even giving rise to revolutions and agitations against unjust / unfair governance. Several important events in history have been the result of the powerful writings of the leaders of those times.
Although a sharp weapon like a sword does appear dangerous, the damage it can inflict on the human body can be healed. But the written word can make or mar a person of reputation and character. It can build or bring down governments. The weapons and the force can only hurt the people. But the people will not change their minds. The worse the force is applied, the stronger the people will become in their ideology. The force and wars will not change the mind-set of the people against whom the wars are declared.
