The pen is mightier than the sword''

Is that true or false ?

" The pen is mightier than the sword " is a metonymic adage, penned by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839, indicating that communication (particularly written language), or in some interpretations, administrative power or advocacy of an independent press, is a more effective tool than direct violence.

anyone online today folks?

blanking lads…

Depends On How Sharp The Pen Is.

It’s true. Communication is a tool for understanding, beeing understood and making allies. Of course what you communicate have to be mostly true too. If someone has to resort to violence there has been a communcation breakdown. If someone fails with the pen, often violence follows as a next best resort. At least if we look big scale on for example dictators in countries, like what is happening in Belarus right now.

Every time someone uses that quote it reminds me of the SNL skit with Sean Connery on JEOPARDY.

Loveletters and blackmails. Yes, pen is as mighty as words. A lot of things are written in prayer the world don’t know.

I think the art of living is not take everything on. We don’t know how the author or creator of the words felt at the time of saying or writing the words down. I try not to get pressured saying something cause 90 % its not what i meant. Sometimes i like to write volumes to explain myself in psychiatric court, but in reality we get judged as we appear.
