It has been a point of contention for a long time about what is more powerful, physical force or intellectuality, or who rules the world with the sword or the pen. During the primitive age, the sword ruled the world, and the maxim ‘Might is right” was accepted by all. In the civilized world of today, the pen is surely mightier, and the sword is used for the pen. In today’s world, where every rule and law are coded and democratic values are accepted, the pen becomes more powerful.

The President of the USA, who is regarded as the most powerful man in the world, is so powerful because of his pen, which means intellectuality prevails over physical force. In the jungle, where the animals rule, only physical force is more important. An empire created by physical force is of a temporary nature and will soon crumble to dust within some years, but the empire of literature is immortal. So in this civilized world, the pen is mightier than the sword.
