Softly

 

Man has learnt softly that this is life and we have to deal with it.

Prejudice exists

Exploitation occurs

And that it’s up to use to make it happen.

The urge for success

The desires of man

The ability to over come

And the art of expression

True and Clear

Man has learnt softly that, what you write is who you are

What you combine is who you want to be

And what you achieve is magnificent in its simplicity.

Perspective

the pen is mightier than the sword

Henry David Thoreau said “How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” I draw from my experiences I keep them simple yet real, I cut no corners but soften the blows. “The pen is” yet indeed “mightier than the sword”. Edward Bulwer-Lytton

It is powerful to think that man tries to change the world by focusing on how to change that which they want to eradicate for example, war, disease, depression, famine, etcetera. They form social groups, run campaigns, give to charity. None the less you become an enabler to that which they want to change by promoting it though informing the world of its existence and of the situation at hand. Yet they do not realise change is mightier than what is done and said, it is an emotional experience comprising of the heart and the mind. Did you ever wonder how iconic phrases like “fight fire with fire” William Shakespeare stood the test of time. It is the product of man’s heart producing thought and it is a combination of these states of being that bring about text that focus on the expression of self, transformed into that which enforces change and not the change itself.

According to Williams James “a chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain” so in order to change the world change yourself. Nurture, manifest and create a better you don’t be a link in an ongoing chain. Grow you, break the chain and change the world.

While thought exists, words are alive and literature becomes an escape, not from, but into living” Cyril Connolly

Become The Pen, Be Mightier Than The Sword!
