Simplified Meaning:

Words, books, and pens have the power to change people's minds and hearts, while guns can only force people to do things through fear. Imagine a teacher who inspires students with stories and ideas, helping them to learn and grow. This teacher uses words and books as tools to make a difference in their lives. In contrast, someone with a gun can make others obey by threatening them, but they cannot change what people believe or think deep down. Throughout history, great leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi used speeches and writings to influence society and create lasting change, proving that peaceful tools are often more effective than violence. If you want to make a positive impact, consider using your words and ideas to reach out to others rather than resorting to force.
