I’ll confide in you that never has a western or is it a northern product captivated me quite as the Game of Thrones books.
As usual the movies as captivating as the debauchery and violence is often fall short of the potency of the books written.
For those who have read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Vampire Diaries e. t. c then ventured forth to the movies can attest to this.
In the GOT scenario its largely a clash of philosophies embodied by various families and their sigils and words. The Vale with their attuned sense of honor, the Lannisters with their greed for gold, the Baratheon and their simmering fury the list is endless but I’d be shallow to forego the Starks and their chilling message of winter is nigh.
My feeble attempts at the dissection of such a work of art may create many a room for error based on the broad strokes I must undertake but so be it.
The entire tale is centered on the families°philosophies° so exposed on literary every thread here. You find pragmatists with their cold mercenary like borne unyielding analysis.
The idealists with their starry eyed perceptions and so on and so forth.
This is a sex and Relationship aboard so I decided to focus on pragmatists and idealists so as to arouse the view of the modern plague blue and red pills Yada Yada Yada…
I dare not attack these two for I’m sure @Karoga @mimi Humwaga Ndani @Star scream amongst other red priests may descend on the post, but I will call your attention to the dreary WALL, where an old Master reigned within in quiet, freezing dignity.
Master Aemon in spite being in a position to claim the jealously coveted Iron Throne opted out to resist the political intrigues sorrounding the throne. In a plea to the blind hearts of men the wizened sage crows out the dangerous inversely proportional win lose relationship between love and duty.
He believes it is to no use having the accolades awarded to the dutiful yet fail to see the joy in a brothers smile, the blush in a maiden and the gurgling of a new born son.
Why win in this battle if it only serves to lead you astray from what truly matters… Family.
Spend time with family, strive to be a kinder version of yourself and in turn draw a kind woman. Set up shop and grow Grey in each other’s embrace.
That’s all
