As far as im concerned, the pen is mightier than the sword, because the pen is used to communicate, but the knife is used to severe lives/ties.

One is positive, one is negative.

ummm cause you can get ink poisoning from a pen a die a slower and more painful death than what you would by getting chopped in half by a sword



so i suggest we fight to ban pens!

Well...

Writing is an action.

To fight one with the sword changes only that one.(and perhaps those that are close).

To create action with the pen effects all who can read...

Creating ripples in time that may extend farther into the future than even the writer could possible imagine.

there is a Chinese author that is still quoted today.... Many thousands of years after he lived his own life.

How many others has his words touched?

Can you do that with a sword.

I agree whole-heartedly with that.

This is very true Krimsa. Christianity combined the sword with the pen and look how successful it has been. Those who refused to believe what was written in the holy scripture were put to the sword. Sounds awful, but what can I say, its history.

The phrase "Ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." is the universal law of attraction.

The book by Ester and Jerry Hicks titled "Ask and it is given" gets into great detail about this subject. It explains how to ask and how to know if you are attracting it or keeping it from coming into your reality.

The book "The Magic of Believing" also goes into this law of attraction. There are many other books that delve deeply into this universal law that I have spoken on so often people are accusing me of preaching.

So many people do not want to believe this law or they have some story of how they asked and did not get what they asked for. Yes they did. They just asked for the opposite thing by placing their focus on what they did not want rather than on what they did want.

That is the secret behind "The Secret." But it is not really a secret. Hundreds of books talk about this law. Only people who understand how it works can learn to use it to get what they want. Most people use it wrong and create or attract what they don't want.

Because people believe it more if it is written espesially if it is negative. People always want to believe the worst of someone or something it makes them feel better. Take a look at the news reporting!!! My god!!

Thats because sensationalism and shock value is much easier to market. People are simply more interested in disturbing news than they are warm fuzzy stuff. Thats why they always put the "human interest" editorials at the very end of the broadcast. No one cares about the puppies that the firemen rescued out of the sewer or whatever it is.
