I have always thought the pen is mightier than the sword. The sword is a physical weapon that damages the physical body, but the pen touches the mind. The pen is mentally strong and capable of much hurt or healing internally, whereas the sword is an opposite. The sword is a physical weapon useless internally, but strong externally. Both are implements of power, to be wielded with maturity.
If the pen is greater than the sword, does that suggest internal strength is greater than external strength? Say the pen represents internal power, and the sword represents external power. Under this mindset, it makes sense that internal potency be greater than external potency. In conclusion, I would say that yes, internal strength is greater than external strength. And logically, anyone who believes in the pen more than the sword would almost have to believe in the potency of internal strength over external strength, if the pen represents the internal and the sword the external.
Contemplating the previous, I encourage you to draw your own conclusions. Is the pen really mightier than the sword?
