GRRM writes grey characters not grey morality, I'm tired of this midwit retarded fucking meme
There are definetly good deeds and evil deeds in his works, the nuance comes from the internal conflict of the character
Jaime pushing Bran is absolutely and unambiguously evil, at no point does Martin ever imply that attempting to kill a child is a grey deed.
What is grey is the internal conflict that leads Jaime to commit such a heinous act, that makes us think "would I have really done things differently in his place?"

Are all lecturers like this?

I had >100 tabs open on incognito and they just now dissapeared. It is what it is.

>How has reading all these books improved your life?
>The Gift of Fear
It's a practical guide on violence. Most people think they know about violence but they don't. Helped me later on in life when I experienced it.
>Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
Entirely changed everything for me because I didn't have healthcare and it was my first time doing cognitive behavioral therapy. Literally changed my relationship to moods, thoughts, my own perception of the world, my perception of others, and my behaviors for the better. It started my track of bettering myself and was better than any therapist I went to.
>Flow
Helped me understand enjoyment, how to facilitate it, how to slow down my life as I experience it.
>How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety
Went through a lot of books on anxiety but this one really really helps you learn about social anxiety. Most anxiety books even the ones on social anxiety give the same answers. Took me years to realize I even had social anxiety, but once I did I picked this up and it was just so profoundly changing to my personality and how I interacted with others. My mask came off and I was really myself for the first time in years. my confidence grew, anxiety reduced.
>Emotional First-Aid
Practical guide to emotional pains, taught me how to escape loneliness, deal with grief, deal with shame, deal with trauma, in literally step by step ways. There was one specific summer recently where I went through grief, a few major traumatic incidents, and severe loneliness. I cannot imagine how I would have survived without this guide.
>What Color is Your Parachute (for planning at least)
Helped me iron out what I want in work, what I'm looking for. Ironed out all the details of my job search. I know exactly what I want out of work now, and even as that desire changes I can properly plan for it.
>The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up
Revolutionized my relationship to my spaces/places, my relationship to stuff, how I buy stuff, basically the logistics of how I live in a very literal way. I cannot imagine going back to how I used to live. It's an entire philosophy. Gave me a lot of confidence and self esteem in a dark time, a sense of control.
>Spark Joy
Same stuff as before but more fundamental, it changed my life. Helped me learn how to feel my sense of joy, what does or doesn't spark joy for me. Ultimately led to my breakup with who I was dating at the time.
>The Charisma Myth
Changed my understanding of other people's personalities and my own in the sense of, I can be that cool person. I think it's just helpful for learning some stuff to focus on in terms of personality development. I got a lot more charismatic and chatty after.

500 pages a day. That's the goal.

> We have a little sister, and her breasts are not yet grown.

Convince me that we are not all fragments of God expressing himself endlessly in order to better know Himself.

I imagine anyone who would describe themselves ad “Nietzschean” to be a massively obnoxious faggot.
