Winter is coming! Winter is passing! Winter is gone! - and time is repeating it self!

We are all just human beings (I hope so ;D) and in some way, we all have a personal "winter" in our life.

Game of Thrones is truly a great series, and the details is absolutely fantastic (Im a fan and I'm impressed).

The way you are describing the "Winter Manifest", is very cacthing and I share your opinion. (just as a fact; I'm fighting a longlasting winter my self. Broke my back 6 years ago and still recovering).

Whether it's illness, war, boble bursts or what ever - "winter" is "winter" and "winters" is damn hard to get thru!

Another cool thing about "Game of thrones" is the metafor about "time is repeating it self" - again, like as in "winter is comming", time is literally repeating itself!
We "the people of today" are still fighting the same battles, as our predecessors did - we are just aiming at, doing it better than they did!

At last, thanks for your post - it got me thinking ;)
