Re: The pen is mightier than the sword!

Ah research! The battle in which Rameses could not win at the east end
of the Mediterainen Sea. As I recall it was the Hicksos which was a new
power of the area. It was a bloodbath and men were dying like flies on both
sides.

Then Rameses turned statesman and called a halt to the battle. Rameses
drew up a treaty and presented it to the Hicksos and they accepted it and
both generals received gifts from each other. Rameses received a virgin
to take back as a wife. Hence the pen and the treaty did what the sword
could not do, it stopped the battle and many lives were saved. How much
is a life worth

Many other battles were also stopped by the pen and the treaty and millions
of lives have been saved with the pen that wrote the treaty.

The pen is mightier than the sword is an old saying, it is not my saying
but I do believe in that saying, as I do oppose war and world peace can not
be achieved through wars and more wars.

If world peace is ever achieved, my thoughts are that it will be the pen
that educates the people of the world, that war will only cause heartache!

Maybe the virgin did it, maybe she distracted him from war so he had more important things on his mind? Young virgin stops war, virgins seem to have had an important effect in ancient times!

Virginity

Like a virgin, touched for the very first time, like a virgin, when your heart beats close to mine

I knew I juxtaposed that one too close to the muse. Virginity it is and have faith Will, that you'll get the next one.
