You have to respect your audience. Without them you're essentially standing alone singing to yourself.
You have to have enough respect for other human beings to leave their lives alone. If you admire that life build it for yourself. Don't just try to come in and take somebody else's life.

I was pulled out of my car for a minor traffic violation - an incident that escalated into my being thrown into cuffs and told I was going to jail. Except in my story the hero doesn't get off as easily as I did.
