Pen or Sword?
What to write about sword...
A double-edged sword seems hard to handle, I mean seriously how to play safe if it cuts on both ends or sides?
Fall on your sword has a lot in common with saying: Drop dead while thinking preferable on your sword. Kind of suicide just a bit more difficult unless the sword is double-edged.
Hang up your sword is a piece of good advice if you are invited for dinner. I guess there's a hook somewhere in sight. Weapons shouldn't be used by children unless you want American issues.
He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword, is more like wishful thinking but far from reality. I would say: Be careful what you wish for. Before you know it happens to you. Karma is a bitch and if you set up a trap for someone else...
Put to the sword, put or foot? Ok, I skip this one. No idea, let's put the kettle on and have a cup of tea. Ginger or some herbs. I noticed the peppermint was sprouting again.
Sword and sandal both sound Roman and remind me of a friend. Marco did do the Roman cosplay... Swords, harnesses, sandals, playing battles, fun fighting. I assume Italians against Rome-Italians. The fake Romans you find in the centre at touristic spots. Always good for taking a picture with a scammer in plastic unless you prefer other scammers. The price asked for a photo is 500 euros. Don't forget your wallet.
Sword of Damocles, aah we all should know what this means. Most likely you do not (not you @ibesso) because you rarely read and if only small parts of the text. That's how it works, Steemit included.
Swordplay is a forbidden play, game. Children are no longer allowed to play with swords, no matter if these are wooden sticks. It stimulates aggression. Strange all those cartoons never did. It isn't allowed to buy swords, cross borders or take a flight with a sword although I am quite sure I can seriously harm a person with chopsticks, a hairpin, a ring, a pencil or a knife with a blade shorter than 6 centimetres.
Wilkinson Sword razors. Wilkinson, really how did you manage to get your name on this list? I heard it before but if it comes to men and shaving the first slogan and brand that pops up in my mind is: Gilette, the best a man can get! There you go, but hey man, shaved is shaved so each knife is fine.
The pen is mightier than the sword, you tend to believe that? I agree... LOL, what shall I say? It counts for a handful but not everyone. You can write but if no one reads you, your words are in vain. So are the words you spit out to a deaf man's ears. He won't hear you either do those full of themselves although you might be their enemy and before you know you are removed from the scene. It can be the newspaper will state you fell in your sword, the one with the two sharp ends while shaving with Wilkinson trying to put your sandal on which is the result of living with the sword.
Idioms are found here I didn't make them up.

May I ask you how you add the gif?
I just insert it as you would any other image @wakeupkitty :) It was created on Canva.
I tried it once but it didn't work. I give it another try sooner or later. Thanks for the help. A beautiful day. 🍀❤️
No problem @wakeupkitty :)
Yes, the pen, when skilfully used, is sharper and mightier than a sword, we all know😂😂😂😂. That's why politicians and the elites fear intellectuals and artists more than soldiers😂😂😂😂
Ps.: that's another reason to not stop our studies: a degree means culture and culture makes us intellectuals😂😂😂😂
Exactly, that's why propoganda machines and you know who like people who are ready to go for wars.
While they kill people who present their intellect via peace and table talks.
Journalists and writers are on the edge to get blacklisted.
This is how much they are scared of the power of a pen
Hello Kitty, as always, it's an ecstasy to read you. The notification didn't arrive, and I was missing this beautiful text. The Sword of Damocles would be perfect for the contest on anxiety in the Latin community. Hold your sword tight and may its ink be indelible, infusing your spirit to awaken the dormant souls, in the hope of a revival.👋🫅🏼
The notifications go on and off. I try to check on people myself.
I have issues with imbedded links and bold letters as well. Kind of frustrating but I can freewrite it's easier and more relaxing.
A good day to you dear man on the moon. Don't get lost. Leave the end of your rope with me.
🍀❤️
P. S. What is left behind the hand? It only shows two squares... Is it a book
I can allow myself to get lost sometimes, knowing that the rope is firmly anchored.
I hope your flower rejoices in your beautiful garden. Have a good evening.
🌻❤️
P.S. Next to my hand is my queen.
You can get lost as much as you like. I'll find you and catch you, no worries.
Your queen is invisible to me. I stick to the book picture. Did you read today?
P. s. If the sunflowers grow and bloom they remember me of the tale and you.
❤️🍀
With you, I feel more secure facing the daily challenges I encounter. I
'm sorry that the queen emoji doesn't do her beauty justice.
It's a busy time at work, fortunately, there is no shortage of work right now, but your book is always by my side; I will finish it eventually.
Don't think about the story, enjoy the sunflowers that will be beautiful this year, and keep thinking of me.
❤️🌻
I think my browser doesn't show it perhaps one day I can see it. If not know wherever you go I am with too as long as you think of me.
You are in my mind, no worries, you are safe.
🤗🤗🤗❤️🍀
Hier is wat ik bedoelde!🤗❤️
Mooi 😍
