This proverb itself symbolises\nthe greatness and effectiveness of a pen as compared to a sword. Both are used\nin their specific areas, both have their own functionalities and have their own\nimpact. Yet pen can do those miracles which a sword can never ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small pen with an even smaller tip\nis a weapon for a writer. It is used to express thoughts, impact minds and\nchange millions of hearts. But a sword can stop a beating heart and make a\nperson dead. Books, newspapers, blogs etc. are a platform to share information,\nmove mass of public and sensitise their minds and even influence the world\nthrough writing. Reading an article based on a critical topic can put a mind\ninto introspection. A sword can be handled well by a combatant, someone who is\nphysically well built, strong enough to handle it and use it well against the\nopponent, but words can flow from a pen even of a feeble man. Many great\nwriters have inspired men and brought revolution in the society. The French\nRevolution is one such example.&nbsp;Words are powerful and offer means to\nmeaning. Sword only brings destruction, whereas pen creates something\nconstructive. Then why do we bow down in front of a sword which scares the hell\nout of us instead of a pen which helps us to express ourselves as well as\ninspires us through words? The reason may be the mightiness of sword. When both\npen and sword are kept together, sword takes the limelight.\n\nWriting with the help of a pen can evoke different\nemotions like love, hatred, sympathy, etc. The power a pen holds is enormously\nlarger than that of a sword. What a sharp-edged sword cannot achieve can be\nachieved by the minute tip of a pen. This way of putting your beliefs is\npeaceful and less ruthless as compared to the bloodshed caused by a sword. A\npen has a positive impact implying that one is able and willing to accept new\ninformation which justifies changing one\u2019s opinion.&nbsp;&nbsp;A blow with\npowerful words influence millions. Swords cannot build long lasting kingdoms.\nThoughts and words written by great writers have been successful in destroying\ndictatorship and monarchy of all those cruel kings who tortured the common\npeople. Even today these words continue to fight against injustice. Powerful\nideas help us to come out of nomad living to civilisation. We are different\nfrom rest of the living beings in this universe and this is because of our\nthinking abilities. We cannot claim ourselves superior on the basis of physical\nstrength because many other living beings are more physically strong when\ncompared with us. We have the ability to think and pen down our thoughts and\nthis is the reason we excel from others. Thus, it is not the sword but the pen\nwhich separates us from others. The sword might be mighty and powerful but\ncannot conquer millions of hearts and minds the way pen does.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pen and sword are two different objects, when compared they would have nothing in common, yet it is a famous proverb that \u201cthe pen is mightier than a sword\u201d.
