@DudespostingWs The importance of family has been largely lost in today’s society - particularly in the Western world. Yet one of the most heroic sights is a parent struggling against adversity to take care of their family. Having their back against the wall, but staying in the fight regardless.

@ChivalryGuild It's not about scoring points. It's about highlighting differences in approach. Tolkien's work is fantastic, but it doesn't come close to the rigour of GRRM's work. & that's fine, because it's not meant to. Each writing style is quite different, & has a different appeal.
