Rules and endings

I haven't read the book yet, and I haven't caught up with the drama. We are seeing the last episode of the second season.
After flipping through a few spoilers, there are not too many surprises. I know that the book is not over yet. Those of us who are hopelessly obsessed with this story can only wait for the great stroke of Martin.

But I have something to say.
1. The Stark family is just. In other words, it is at least the most upright and just under the existing conditions. But in this cruel real world, integrity and justice are not valuable, and will only make you a stepping stone in the Game of Thrones. Those lovely people, such as the old king Robert, Eddard Stark, they may be very good friends, very loyal brothers, and kind fathers, whether they are friends, brothers or fathers, they will not be in this game of power. Winner. ——This is the basic law of Game of Thrones. The negative proposition is also valid.

2. The Lannister family seems to be assholes. From Tywin, the prostitute lover who ordered people to abuse his son, to the incest sibling, one is a kingslayer, the other is Queen who has a strong desire for power and sexuality, and then to a dwarf. There is really no good person. But in reality, it is them who have gained power-at least in the eyes of outsiders, they have always been in power.

The above two families have come to the first rule of the game of power: good people do not live long, and the evil is left for thousands of years. ——At least it seems so.

3. The Baratheon family seems to be soy sauce. Since Robert, their strength has never been enough. The kindness of the house may be able to win some people, if you don't even have this advantage, and you have to learn other people's strategies, then you really don't know how to die.

This is the second law of the game of power: Power is power-that is, power speaks.

4. The Targaryen family. Let's take a look at the fate of the rich second generation. Compared with all other families, they are the standard rich second generation. That elder brother who was poured with gold is the epitome of the fate of many rich second generations. Of course there are also reliable ones. younger sister.

This is the third rule of Game of Thrones:
birth is not everything, it is a double-edged sword.

These laws remain the same forever and unbreakable.
It may be the generations of romantic figures who dominate human history—that's just what it seems to be. It is these unbreakable laws that really influence human history.

But the above rules are only superficial—it seems so.
There seems to be a law behind the law.

Wisdom is better than bravery. This is an almost scientific rule. The process of human evolution is from developed limbs to developed brain. So who can kill a dwarf? So Sansa definitely lives longer than Joffery. So the night watchman Sam will be awesome, and Bran Stark will be the protagonist. Those that seem more "weak and small" tend to be stronger.

Perseverance can win. Persistence means constant and never give up. The POV of the night watchman seems to be playing soy sauce in the TV series until now, but the things they insist on and the Honor they uphold will shine on the entire ancient continent. So Snow will have real power. When the long night falls, all the cruel and deceitful disputes and games will not be worth mentioning in the face of the cold winter. If Snow really returned to Winterfell when Eddard was killed, he would be nothing more than a brave warrior.

Success must be tempered. No matter how weak or strong you are, without setbacks, failures, or hardships, you are nothing. The Stark family was ruined, but this was their fate, the practice of every Stark descendant's life-they must go through such a temper. So Arya Stark and Bran Stark will shine their family with their deeds. So Snow will definitely not be anonymous. So Daenerys, who can eat even Ma Xin, will definitely take her dragon son back to her land.

Come out and mix, sooner or later, you have to pay it back. This law may not seem so, because reality is always so unfair. But the cycle of cause and effect never goes in a straight line. So Tywin died well. So Joffery will definitely be killed. So Robb, who asked 2,000 people to die just to catch the Kingslayer, would also pay the price of his life. You will definitely pay the debt you have on your back. It's just that the debt collectors may not be the same person. So it's not surprising that Arya was blinded by poison. Although I couldn't bear it, it was the karma for killing a fat boy. So who is innocent? Maybe no one is innocent. But there are people who can go to the end. Those who go to the end must be those who have a good heart and have no blood debts. For example, Snow, he can’t kill a female savage; for example, a dwarf, although he has a bad stomach, but never did it; for example, Bran, he first said that he would not surrender, but he still surrendered for the sake of his subjects; for example, Daenerys, how many people died because of her, She still has tears and misses others.

When you drink it high, these things are called destiny; if you
say it is mysterious, these things are called causal reincarnation;
in fact, they are all destined by themselves. What kind of person you will do. How you do things determines what kind of person you are. What you do determines the direction of your life.

Man can conquer the sky. But people can win against themselves.
Only those who win against themselves will win.
This is probably destined to some degree.

I guess Daenerys will be the ultimate winner. Snow will defend his Great Wall and win his glory. Bran and Arya will exist silently in a strange way (such as magic? Prophet? Assassin?), guarding their family.

Game of Thrones quotes

  • Stannis Baratheon: We march to victory, or we march to defeat. But we go forward. Only forward.

  • Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: The realm. Do you know what the realm is? It's the thousand blades of Aegon's enemies. A story we agree to tell each other over and over until we forget that it's a lie.

    Lord Varys: But what do we have left once we abandon the lie? Chaos? A gaping pit waiting to swallow us all.

    Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish: Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb; they refuse. They cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is.
