Pen is mightier than the sword. This proverb shows the power of words which would always surpass that of violence and weapons. The poem Not Marble, Nor the Gilded Monuments also talks about the same aspect. We always come across this proverb in serious discussions. Since the pen is used to express ideas and the sword is used to impose one's will by superior violence, the statement really means that ideas have more influence than violence. Since violence is always used for a purpose, there is a some idea behind violence. What matters is the kind of idea in the service of which violence is used. The sword can only destroy, but the pen-the ideas expressed by the pen-can also build. The pen is the medium of thought and ideas have helped man to rise over purely savage conditions. They have built up free institutions and democracy. Thought enables man to voyage through the infinite the philosophy to unlock the secrets of the universe in science, to contemplate the universe, to create beauty and to commune with God. It is in this sense that the pen is mightier than the sword. (to be continued based on your own ideas and perceptions.)
