How?What?Why? - The basic three questions that rule my logical sense! During my junior school days I was taught - "The pen is mightier than the sword", and without any explanation I was asked to memorize it since these were the words by 'SOMEONE GREAT'!!! The end result is that at the age of 25...I still wonder - How, What, Why!! 'How is a pen mightier?', 'Why is a pen mightier?', 'What is mightier - The pen or the sword?' !! It's like a vicious cycle of how-what-why, no matter what gets answered first, one of the remaining interrogative pronouns again reappears!!
While writing this blog the realization just dawned upon me that I am able to express and share this confusion and ignorance of mine through "writing" which obviously makes the PEN mightier...but what about the sword!! If I do have to consider the existence of a sword, even if for a split second, for the sake of the saying then 'HOW will I use it?', 'WHY will I use it?' and 'WHAT use will the SWORD serve?' !!! So, I hope you do realize how vicious can the cycle of logic be!!!
Here just a random thought - WAS it the pen and the sword I wanted to write about or the scary vicious logic cycle????
.................and so, my logic's in action again!!!
