The Power of Computer Keyboard: The Power of My Pen

THE POWER OF MY PEN
By: Rebcas R.

I could remember that at around 11:50 a.m. of October 9, 2007, it was the beginning of my new horizon in the blogging endeavor. It was quite timely as everything seemed running smoothly. My friend had introduced me to this writing challenges which coincided to my desire of expressing myself to help build a better society bonded by wisdom and actions out of love. I could be a voice, just like others... just like you... who would be integrating wisdom to lifestyle through a bridge - the power of my pen.

Honestly, pen is a great weapon of mine since childhood. It is basically a tool of diplomacy which I considered more powerful than material and physical weapons. What I could say in words in shouting to ease the pains in my heart due to injustices and the like I am noticing, can be moderately and passionately stated in writing - focusing on the target. What I could not say orally in order not to hurt the feelings of sensitive but ill-persons can be sensibly formed into a constructive message that can be presented to the concerned persons at the right time, right place, and right manner which could be psychologically acceptable. Deep in my mind, I could say that I was... I am... and I would... always be a gladiator - armed with a pen. I know, that those people before who have seen the output of my pen had experienced a subtle strike of the pen's nice word-blades and realized something that would indirectly build themselves - or quietly change to avoid embarrassment of what others would be telling if there was a public acceptance of their mistakes... With the pen in my hand, I was always happy when I observed a sort of a change among people targeted by the strike of my pen... Yes, I am not a perfect person as a holder or gladiator of this weapon, my pen, but I usually feel the satisfaction inside my armoured heart when there was and there is a direct or indirect realization for good - just like what happened to myself when I realized my own mistakes and do something for the better...

It proceeds then to the discovery of my talent in composing songs... the written words, well-thought sentences, and properly designed composition have been labelled with tunes everytime I am holding and playing my guitar. My practical joys, self-realizing heartaches, and self-motivating force of my conscience have been integrated in writing using my simple and less-expensive pen... and dramatized by the partnership of music.

Now, I am not holding a pen, but a keyboard and a mouse of the computer. It is the modernized pen I have. I thank the people who have been instrumental in the inventions of these highly technological things embodied in the so-called computer which can be utilized in transmitting messages and audio-visuals worldwide through the so-called internet webs. I also thank those people who had introduced to me the computer world - its softwares, hardwares, systems, techniques, and other computer-related things.

The power of my pen now goes to another level. The present time of highly technological inventions. My pen now have been experiencing a transformation - from a simple pen to a highly developed expressing machines.

However, I still hold my personal pen wherever I go, just for note-taking.

See you next time, my friends, as we use together the transformed pen that has the power to change the world into a better place to live in and a better world for the next generation... Let my life and its principles be shared to you as I may learn from your lives.

A pleasant day to all!
