My first thought was about a human, who is a social creature by default. It does mean that to survive in society or to advance anyhow he should establish a reputation among peers, which is not that easy to gain. You have to consider everyone's values and desires and align with it, as followers make leaders, apply power when necessary, be sure your enemies won't crush you. People who failed to do so, eventually become ostracized and alienated, and it might be applied to modern times.


Fuck, cringe. Should I also add some points about honor, etc?

What do I do when I can't write an opening line for shit? How do I write in general? Everything I fucking write feels clunky, and I can't nail down a single idea in a way that I find coherent enough. I feel like my writing is too stylistically simplistic and robotic to express what colorful worldbuilding I imagine I've got for my stories. What should I do?
