what about self-love

Just a slap in the face.
That's it.

I thought Sansa's words were euphemistic enough, she said, "If you still have an affection for me in your heart, please save a life for my father". She used a hypothetical sentence, and the other party seemed to be moved, and everyone thought the matter had been settled. Who knew that he was slapped on the spot the next day. That taste is really sour. One more thing, Ned took one last look in the direction of his daughter, Jeffery, and Cercei before bowing his head to accept the execution, and I think that look was definitely towards his daughter. When he was shocked at the moment, he didn't go to see the new king who gave the order. As loyal as him, he should have decided to obey his daughter's idea and admit the identity of the new king the moment he learned that his daughter was begging for him. He didn't think about doubting anything. . But their hopes were still in vain. That look should be an infinite gratitude and infinite nostalgia for his daughter, but he was speechless and could only accept the punishment of the new king he just recognized.
Losing her father is a major blow, but for Sansa, there is another blow that is almost as great as this—that is, her knowledge is unknown, she loves the wrong person, and believes in the wrong person. She has always loved Jeffery and made no secret of it in front of her parents and sister. She has no way of knowing why her father suddenly rebelled, but she still believes in Jeffery's character and feelings for her. But all of this vanished in front of his execution order. It turned out that it was all her self-indulgent love.
Equally self-motivated is my favorite little devil. When he described his first love and his previous marriage, he had a lovely stubbornness and stubbornness, which was obviously just a farce made by his brother's clever arrangement and exposed by his father's ruthlessness. He doesn't deny his stupidity at the time, but he still takes this story as a sad secret in his heart to tell someone he trusts when he's in Truth or Dare—yes, except for the prostitute who became his lover and that The samurai who helped him win the trial by combat. Because the samurai helped him, he naively assumed that the samurai stood up for justice as he did, until he got the "how much" answer. How ridiculous a person who treats life with sincerity looks like a villain who has no faith "Yu Yuli".
Ridiculous, Ross's tears were immediately stopped. Ross broke down in tears as he watched the brothel sister's swaddling child being killed, affecting his work. She is also a character I like very much. I think she should have feelings for Theon, and be very kind to him, otherwise Theon should not be as cold as she is and shout that I will miss you while watching her go away. The line she said to him before she left, "Why am I staying, will you marry me as Mrs. Greyjoy" might not be exactly a joke, but she knew it wasn't possible. From leaving Winterfell to setting foot in King's Landing, this coveted beauty of the dust, although branded by ruthless money and reality, also shines with the light of humanity. She raised her Littlefinger respectfully, called him Lord Baelish, and asked the others to do the same. As the soldiers barged in, she threatened arrogantly, "This is Lord Baelish's territory!" But the man also let her down. He comforted her gently, but he was also thorny, and hinted her with a hidden knife in a smile, not to delay him making money. By contrast, her sympathy and grief seemed so pointless and superfluous. Her tears stopped instantly after she recognized the reality and the man in front of her. Yes, another loud slap in the face.
These stories remind me of myself, and they are also a lot of experiences of being slapped in the face. These tend to happen to people who are simple, kind, affectionate, easy to be moved, and easy to trust. Sansa, who forgave his cold and violent lover because of a necklace, Tyrion who let go of his guard because of a few warm words and actions to help, Ross who grieves and grieves for the tragedy he saw, they believe in human nature Ben Shan, believes in the love of the world, and believes in sincerity and justice. But their beliefs have become self-indulgent laughingstocks in front of ruthless and shameful people and this cruel world. When you think that the other party is trustworthy and give your heart to the other party, when you taste the taste of love for the first time, you can't wait to give everything and look forward to everything, when you think that everyone is as kind, full of justice and compassion as you, in exchange for But it's the cold and cruel truth, and you're going to be heartbroken, like Sansa's idea of ​​pushing someone she once loved down a building, like Tyrion's years of burying a marriage that lasted only a few hours. The wound in the heart, as Ross wiped away the tears and stopped the sympathy and grief, but also stopped the dependence on her Lord Baelish.
But will they ever change? I don't know, I haven't seen the end yet. Now it seems that Tyrion has not changed, he still fell in love with the exotic prostitute who he fondly called a little fool, and continued one love tragedy after another. I like him, just like the kind of spirit in him that has grown up despite all the humiliation and hardships but never gave up on himself. Also having a pitiful experience, Jon Snow, who is inferior, is not so appealing to me, although his inferiority is excusable. No one's life is smooth sailing, and the world is cruel to everyone. Some people have become pessimistic and inferior like Jon Snow, cold and selfish like Littlefinger, but some people, like Tyrion, and Sam (also a character I like very much, can imagine how ruthless his father was when he drove him to join the Night's Watch). How much harm the threat has done to him, but he is still stupid, kind, and sincere), but he never gives up his pursuit of justice, never gives up his sincere hope, and never dies his enthusiasm for life. This is where I am most moved. As Lu Xun and Romain Rolland said,
"Real warriors dare to face the bleak life, and dare to face the dripping blood."
"There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, after recognizing the truth of life, it still remains Love it."

What's the matter with self-love, just a slap in the face.
That's it.

The North Remembers quotes

  • [at the Chamber of the Painted Table, Stannis dictates a letter of declaration to Matthos Seaworth. Matthos reads the draft aloud]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and I declare upon the honor of my House, that my beloved brother Robert left...

    Stannis Baratheon: He wasn't "my beloved brother". I didn't love him. He didn't love me.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: A harmless courtesy, your Grace.

    Stannis Baratheon: A lie. Take it out.

    [Matthos erases the word "beloved"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...that my brother Robert left no trueborn heirs, the boy Joffrey, the boy Tommen, and the girl Myrcella, being born of incest between Cersi Lannister and her brother Jaime Lannister. By right of birth...

    Stannis Baratheon: Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. Call him what he is.

    [Matthos adds the words "the Kingslayer". Cressen secretly slips a poison pill into his wine cup. No one notices him except Davos]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...and her brother Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim...

    Stannis Baratheon: Make it SER Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. Whatever else he is, the man's still a knight.

    [Matthos adds the word "Ser"]

    Matthos Seaworth: ...Ser Jaime Lannister the Kingslayer. By right of birth and blood, I do this day lay claim to the Iron Throne of Westeros. Let all true men declare their loyalty.

    Stannis Baratheon: When Eddard Stark learnt the truth, he told only me. I'll not make the same mistake. Send copies of that letter to every corner of the realm, from the Arbor to the Wall. The time has come to choose. Let no man claim ignorance as an excuse.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: Your Grace, the Lannisters are the true enemy. If, for the time being, you could make peace with your brother...

    Stannis Baratheon: I'll not make peace with Renly while he calls himself king.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: But many have already declared for him. Mace Tyrell, Randyll Tarly...

    Melisandre: Stannis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support, the Lord of Light stands behind him.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: And how many ships has the Lord of Light got in his fleet?

    Melisandre: He has no need for ships.

    Ser Davos Seaworth: I'm sure he doesn't, but we do if we're going to war. If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Robb Stark.

    Stannis Baratheon: Who'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Ser Davos. Joffrey, Renly, Robb Stark, they're all thieves. They'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them.

  • Melisandre: Lord of Light, come to us in our darkness. We offer you these false gods. Take them and cast your light upon us, for the night is dark and full or terrors. After the long summer, darkness will fall heavy on the world. The stars will bleed. The cold breath of winter will freeze the seas... and the dead shall rise in the North.
