What howls and whispers with no voice? What rips and tears with no claws? What pushes and pulls with no body?
Haha, ok, my turn.Push my button and I'm mightier than the sword, leaving a trail to read wherever I go. What am I?
Haha, just came to mind. And when is the pen mightier than the sword? Well, it's an old saying, but I guess I could provide an example. The Power of a pen is Mightier than the Sword. The power that the written word carries is far more harmful and damaging than a sword. At best the sword can only cause physical harm - that too by force. Whereas the written word is strong enough to influence many minds at a time - influence to the extent of even giving rise to revolutions and agitations against unjust / unfair governance. Several important events in history have been the result of the powerful writings of the leaders of those times.
Although a sharp weapon like a sword does appear dangerous, the damage it can inflict on the human body can be healed. But the written word can make or mar a person of reputation and character. It can build or bring down governments. The weapons and the force can only hurt the people. But the people will not change their minds. The worse the force is applied, the stronger the people will become in their ideology. The force and wars will not change the mind-set of the people against whom the wars are declared.
Well, now I see your point about the pen. Also jelly fish are incorrect. I'll give you another clue..... the first part of my name starts with a land animal.
Not quite! Your shadow is always with you. When you run, you are out of it, you must stop to catch it.
That's the best answer I got.because all the colors together make black, and then white on it's own because white added to all the colors makes grey. Thus it's two colors, with all the colors in it. That's my best guess anyways.
