What is The Most Powerful Thing Around? by illicit(m): 2:12pm On Dec 16, 2012
In your opinion (look around you) what thing either dead or living or non living do you think is the most powerful?
They say knowledge is power

Money is power

Politics brings power

Fame is powerful


Note - Power in this sense doesn't just mean the ability to lift or carry heavy objects nor does it count it out either....

According to Forbes, the most powerful people around are not even the body builders, wrestlers or boxers. They are influencers.

I am a relatively young man but I've read so many books( fictions or non) and I have wrote a bit too (though unpublished)
I have come to realise that a pen is truly mightier than a sword or even swords, like they say.

Wars definitely start from ideas, but what is war without weapons? A cold war?
A pen starts a war but definitely wouldn't fight it, now don't you think weapons in general are much more powerful than ideas or the pen?

Then I thought of this, how do wars end? What makes the weapons stop fighting? Is it the pen or Man?

About the pen, a pen starts a war and can end it, so men that once held weapons in their hands fighting and killing on opposite sides now shake hands and smile, note- hands held the pen and the weapons respectively, whose hands? Man's. ( IMO)


I have met and asked many people this same question and I got various responses, to be continued....

True that all brains are not equal, however they all have the potential to evolve into a more powerful cognitive organ. Also it's new to me that scientists claim that animals can't think. I think they can and do think.

Yea, evolutionists and modern science proves it that lower animals only act on instinct and not reasoning...
