The Debate (no.39); Pen 🖊️ or Sword 🗡️, Who's Mightier!

is certainly an expression that really means that words and ideas are indeed more powerful than the violence or force.
Ju8 Imagine now two people arguing. At the process One is holding a *pen 🖋️ and the other holding a sword 🗡️. The one person with the sword definitely might look so stronger at first no doubt about that, but then the one with pen can ✍️ write words that can massively change minds, start what is known as revolutions, and thereby inspire people for generations to come.

Can Words Be More )Influential Than Actions?

Words ⭐ definitely have a special power simply because they can inspire, motivate, educate, and so bring about a change without using of any physical force.

• Then think about these very speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. or too the writings of authors like Chinua Achebe. Their very words sincerely inspired millions and so led to a significant changes in the society.
  On the other hand too, actions may be short-lived. While the swords can really win battles, they most times rarely win the hearts and minds. A pen here can rea6 capture ideas and the feelings that can most likely last forever. Words too can heal and so bring people perfectly together, whereas the swords often brings in division and destruction.

When Is Diplomacy More Effective Than Force?

Diplomacy is much like probably using the 🖊️ pen. It always a means to solving problems through discussion, perfect negotiation, and compromise. It's very effective when here both sides are so willing to really listen and also find a better and peaceful solution.

• In a scenario! two good friends having an disagreement. So Instead of them fighting, they did talk about their own feelings, understand each other's striking points of view, and definitely find a perfect way to make both selves happy. This way, their dear friendship grows on and more stronger.

Force too, like the sword, might so be necessary sometimes too, probably like in self-defense or maybe to protect others too from harm. But then it always and usually leads to more of the problems in the long run.
So Diplomacy and proper understanding can sincerely lead to a lasting peace, while the force often with no doubt leads to more of violence and pains.

Is a Balance Between Words and Actions Necessary?

Definitely Yes, a balance is very much important. Words always inspire the action, and as well actions can really reinforce the words too.

• For example here, a leader definitely might give in a powerful speech about always protecting the environment properly, inspiring all people to maybe take action by simply planting trees and cleaning up the park. Words and actions together can massively create a positive change.

So Words without any actions can really feel empty, while the actions without too the right words can be misunderstood as well.

How Has Technology Impacted This Debate Today?

Technology has really made well the "pen even mightier". With the help of internet and the social media, words can massively reach millions people so instantly on the space.

• Think about it how any pretty simple post online can hugely spread around the world 🌎, much influencing all opinions and greatly sparking the movements. This so means we all must be so careful and really thoughtful about the words we might choose to share.

However, the technology as well has also given us a rise to cyberbullying and the misinformation, where indeed harmful words can so hurt people deeply as much causing trauma.
This definitely shows well that while the pen is so powerful, it also must be used best responsibly.

Conclusion

In the world we are today, the pen is indeed so mightier than the sword just because it can help create a lasting change, unite in people, and really promote peace in a nation. Words 💫 here have the massive power to inspire all, teach, and also heal. However, we all must try balance in words with the actions to really make a real difference for a better place.

By one using words so wisely and much combining them in with thoughtful actions, we can really create in a better world for everyone and even the generation. So please steemians, the next time you wishes to pick up a pen, try remember the huge and incredible power it do holds and so use it to make and achieve a positive impact!
