  1. Whose thoughts

    Some people live and act according to their own thoughts, and some according to the thoughts of others; this is a crucial distinction between people.

  2. Influencing others

    The possibility of influencing others causes a person with high morals to be more strict about his words and actions which could influence other people.

  3. Other people’s thoughts

    For the most part, false and harmful opinions are distributed and supported by influence. We are too likely to accept the views and thoughts of other people without trying to investigate them deeper and further ourselves. Unimportant people are those who accept other people’s thoughts without developing them themselves.
