Breaking Bad is no doubt one of the greatest TV shows of all time and also holds the Guinness record for being the highest rated show of all time. Apart from being delightfully entertaining and addicting, the show also teaches us various lessons.
Warning: Major Spoiler Alert!
1. School Teachers Need To Be Paid Well
If Walt had been payed well enough that he could sustain his family, there would have been absolutely no reason for him to build up a meth empire and kill people. He would have lived a happy and ordinary life with his family, satisfying all there needs and would have died peacefully and been remembered by his family as a hard-working and simple family man.
2. Deep Down Inside, We Are All Bad
Who ever imagined that a 50 year old high school chemistry teacher would start his own drug empire and go on to destroy people's lives including his brother-in-law's? So is the case with Skylar, who started laundering Walt's money. I guess there is a bad side hidden within everyone which just needs a stimulus to reveal itself. For Walt, the stimulus was the realization that he would soon be dead and his family would be left poor.
3. Always Work With a Partner (Especially When You're Doing Something Wrong)
Just imagine how screwed Walt would have been if Jesse wouldn't have been with him all through the show. The hardest of jobs can be done if you have the right partner. Both Walt and Jesse saved each other's asses throughout the show and, took equal responsibility to get stuff done.
4. Evil Deeds Get You Nowhere
Where did meth-cooking get Walt? Nowhere! At the end, he lost the millions of dollars he had made from his meth business, Hank was killed because of him, his family (for whom he had got into meth-cooking) turned against him, and he died a poor man.
5. Always Do What You Are Passionate About
Walt was a learned and proficient chemical engineer. His knowledge and mastery over chemistry and his passion made him crazy amounts of money. Walt enjoyed doing what he did and this made him do it better than the others.
