What do you expect? Your OP consists of a title and a cryptic statement about your family. We don’t know anything about your family. Maybe if you actually stated your position then someone would respond.
ok…thank you…to put it bluntly i am not that interested in the pen when it comes to me getting killed. i think the people wthout power like to talk about the pen…thats all they have…i dont like reality but it is right there and you better be able to defend yourself…
Seriously… philosophers held more power than swordsmen throughout the history. “The Sword Is Mightier Than The Pen…” did not care about your family or subjective life. It is a general statement.
Sometimes the people with the swords tell the people with the pens who they want to kill so the people with the pens will tell the people with the swords who to kill.
There are plenty more swordly animals in the world than humans and they can’t even hold pens.
And look where we are in relative might to all of them. At least in the human interpretation of might…
A sword will win all the battles but lose all the wars.
Pens take longer to work, they’re indirect. But when they work, they can cause the outnumbering and the out-technologising of any amount of sword.
