“everyone’s lives would have been better for it”

#I  do not understand the hate against Catelyn. I just don’t. She cares  about her children and yeah she may not like Jon but other women treated  their husband’s bastard children a lot more harshly. Jon lived with  them and associated with her children and each day he would be a  reminder of how her husband was unfaithful to her. I’m sure that hurt  her. Plus hello in the books she tries to get Robb to think more  rationally~ at least where I’m at and he doesn’t necessarily take any of  her advice and just keeps being honourable which is obviously not a  good game plan. Okay I’m done now lol. I just like her okay. #This  is one of the only ones I will comment on just because Catelyn and  Sansa and Cersei get so much hate in this fandom and it makes me sad  because really the women are the strong ones in this fandom and they  need more love.

I agree with the person above this. The equivalent of what this picture says in real life is this: “World War I would have never happened if Gavrilo Princip didn’t assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie.”
Because no, WWI would have happened because the tension was already there and rising rapidly, it just needed a starting point. And if that hadn’t happened, something else would have.
Also I haven’t watched the show but I am currently reading A Storm of Swords.
