“The pen is mightier than the sword.”
This quote is from Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero.
This is nothing but a statement based on self-bias.
The pen is not mightier than the sword.
Both the pen and the sword play vital roles.
The pen and the sword need each other in order to achieve victory.
There is no need to argue who’s more important.
Dr. Jose Rizal does not appreciate people fighting in the frontlines.
But I can understand that this quote will indirectly make him look good and superior to the people who take arms and fight a direct confrontation.
