Here, courage is displayed in all its splendor. The courage to do what is right, the courage to put the needs of others over yours, the courage to try. How do you fight a force that you cannot see?

I had never quite understood its relevance until now. Valar Morghulis – All men must die, and the response Valar Dohaeris – All men must serve a common greeting in the series, has always perplexed me. It is undoubtedly my all-time favorite show. It glued many to their TV screens and took us all through varying emotional states.
Martins classic “A song of Ice and Fire” was a cultural phenomenon.
We learn so much from our stories – fictional work can be a source of great insight.
