"You want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. I only know she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her away from me, and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind."
That's the crux of every main conflict in the books and show; seeking out brutal revenge for a loved one's death, and it still not making any of the characters happy if they succeed.
Robert's rebellion in reaction to Lyanna Stark's kidnapping and death succeeded, but 17 years later, he was still miserable.
