As a further precaution, donโt put a character in a room alone โ create a friend, a bystander, a genie, for Godโs sake, any sentient creature with whom your main character can converse, perhaps argue or, better yet, engage in some action.

When people laugh at that play, they're laughing at a surrogate version of the disaster which might occur to them.
Michael FraynIt's been fascinating over the last few years, watching the high and mighty in business and politics fall precipitously-not because their plans didn't work, but because their character flaws undercut those plans.

If you fail at the art of being human and staying human, you recklessly court disaster.
