With every fiber and every being of the Internet resonating about the finale, this post was mandatory! The Westerosi population has taken the world by storm! Here are 11 amazing things that Game of Thrones taught us:
1. Courage
You are your bravest self, only at the times when you are most afraid. Samwell Tarly is clearly an example of the flower that blooms in adversity.
2. Looks don't matter
Your looks don't define who you are. External appearances aren't a judge of your character. Who knew a tiny fellow like Tyrion Lannister aka The Imp could be filled with so much awesomeness?
3. Women can be ruthless, too
As much as I'd want to write about how women are horribly objectified on the show, I have to mention that the mercilessness and ambition of the feminine population has been underestimated by most people. Women can be evil and treacherous, sly and manipulative, as and when required. Queen Cersei in the initial seasons, Daenerys Targaryen, Margaery Tyrell and Lady Melisandre prove it time and again. We can take back what is ours with fire and blood!
4. The worst is yet to come
If you think you have seen everything there is to see, you're wrong. You don't know half of it. We thought nobody could match Joffrey, that he was the most wretched thing on the show. And then Ramsay Bolton shut us all up.
5. Nothing can match a mother's love
Catelyn Stark did everything in her power to protect her children. Cersei Lannister/Baratheon is an example of the perfect matriarch who spoils her children silly and tries to protect them from harm. Khaleesi cried while chaining her dragon kids and Gilly fled from Craster's Keep only so she could give her son a life.
6. We can't choose who we love
Tyrion loved Shae, who was a whore, Jaime and Cersei were siblings who fell for each other, Ser Jorah was spying on Dany, but he fell for her while doing so and Jon Snow loved Ygritte, who was his wildling enemy. We have no control over who we fall in love with. Love is just as simple, and as complicated as that!
7. A dog is a man's best friend
Ghost, Shaggydog and Summer are the most loyal companions to their respective masters. All the direwolves didn't leave the side of the Stark kids. Lady and Grey Wind stayed till their deaths, and Arya had to chase Nymeria away by hurting her. Also, the Hound aka Joffrey's dog helped Arya when she needed it the most. He also saved Sansa from the mob, and was faithfully loyal to Joffrey in the first season.
8. Everyone knows nothing
We don't know what's going to happen the very next moment. We have no idea what fate might befall us. We are all Jon Snow that way.
9. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
The point is to survive and go on, no matter what. Arya Stark, Bran Stark, Brienne of Tarth, Ser Jaime Lannister, Varys are a few people on the show who have managed to do so.
10. People can do brutal things in the name of God
Religion can be used like a weapon if out of control. People don't always do right things in God's name. Religion can be pitiless and pain inflicting, too.
11. The ONLY certainty is Death
Death is the one unadulterated, undeniable truth.
All men must die!
Valar Morghulis!
