All who take the sword shall perish with the sword.

Gospel of Matthew (New Testament)

 

 

Those who try to solve things with violence will eventually be overwhelmed with violence. Violence doesn't solve anything. Likewise, those who establish themselves in the world with money will be destroyed with money. Like a boomerang. However, those who try to escape from such a chronic disease  with the power of words can collapse also with the power of the words. Hardships of life cannot be got rid of by obtaining words. People face the same hardships in the world of words this time.
