The wounds caused by a sword may be deep and serious. But they ultimately heal with the right treatment and the passage of time. But the wounds caused by the pen when we write ill of others and criticize them are incurable. That is why it is said that the death and destruction caused by military conquerors is short-lived. So is their glory and heroism. On the other hand, the writings of such immortal men of letters as Kalidas, Shakespeare, Goethe and others leave as indelible impression on the human mind and civilization. The writings of Voltaire and Rousseau, for example, brought about the French Revolution with their slogan of Liberty, Equality and Justice. Such writers deserve our respect and reverence, and not the military conquerors who main and kill thousands of people to fulfill their selfish ambitions.
