Early man lived on the strength of his muscle power. In the struggle for existence, it was the survival of the fittest. Gradually, man become civilized and progressed in various fields. The destinies of nations were shaped by wars. Later on man realized that the use of weapons could not solve problems. Weapons could kill a man but could not bring about a change of heart.

Ideas have a much larger impact than violence. Force is incapable of changing the ideas and beliefs of the people. When people are influenced by new ideas, changes occur in the society. Ideas are propagated by writing. Brave deeds and valor shown in the battlefield are certainly praiseworthy. But no clash of arms could achieve what great men through their writing have archived.

The invention of the written word has helped man to store and propagate his thoughts, beliefs, and ideas.

The power of a pen is enormously larger than a sword. What a sharp edged sword can't achieve can be achieved by the help of a minute tip of a pen. What it implies is that the power of writing is much stronger than the power of hatred, war, and fighting. A war always ends in killings and has only a single directional ending - defeat, death, loss. There is no end of the tunnel when a war is there, and even if it comes, there is no light. 

Writing is priceless. Can we pay back for the stories told in our childhood - by parents, grandparents, teachers and elder siblings? Can we pay back for the stories read during our childhood from storybooks, comics etc. bought for a meager cost but the impression of those stories, learning gained from those stories and the legacy that is carried from generation after generation. Gives us a return that the amount paid for buying those books seems minuscule but the return is huge. The story of one stick versus a bundle of sticks that taught us the power of unity - a collection of just a few words but providing us a lesson for life. There are so many examples of such writing we read during the childhood that stays with us till the last breath.

There are so many quotes about books and those are so true - "Books are the best companion", "Books are the treasure house of knowledge", "Books are the way to the Truth" and so on. We all know that those who love reading, are never alone. Books give us the freedom to think. Books make us fearless. Book are the best way to learn about the places where we can't travel to, in person. Books take us to a journey having no boundaries.

Our past and present are full of examples where writers have changed the world and have been able to demonstrate the power of writing thereby creating a charisma. 

Writers fought against Sati Pratha, Child abuse, Girl Child Killing, education barriers for girls, childhood marriage, slavery and other social causes and were able to stir the whole word with the power of their writing.

Writing has built and destroyed kingdoms. Writing has created peace during wars and created wars during peace. Writing has made the whole world unite to fight against an evil. That is the power of writing. A fight can impact on two or more people, a war may impact thousands of people but a book can shake the whole world. A book can turn dark into light, slavery into freedom, dumb into speech, weak into powerful, and poor into rich.

Swords cannot build long-lasting empires. However, writers have proven to be stronger than might warriors. The high ideas of various great writers credited for destroying monarchy and dictatorship in several parts of the world. The pen of the writers has encouraged the youth to fight against injustice and always hampered to them.

There are many writers are wrote the story for understanding to everyone by his story ambition. Writing has built and destroyed kingdoms. Book has created peace during wars and created conflicts during peace. Book has made the whole world unite to fight against evil. That is the power of writing. A fight can impact on two or more people; a war may affect thousands of people, but a book can shake the whole world. A book can turn dark into light, slavery into freedom, dumb into speech, weak into powerful, and poor into rich.

The powerful ideas that come out of a writer’s pen have brought a man out of Barbarism to Civilization. The vastness of human beings consists in his ability to think and put it on a piece of paper. Writers always create that type of story on his piece of paper from the pen for the human being to think better in his life. A person is superior to animals not because of his physical strength, but due to his ability to think differently. 

Thus, it is not the sword but the pen, which is the vehicle of thought that places man higher than animals.
