Influence

'Because to influence a person is to give one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real for him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self.' Oscar Wilde

This extract is about influence. One character(? you mean person?) said that there is no such thing as a good influence. What do you think? Is he(is it a he?) right? Actually I think that there are a good influences. But it's important not to allow this influence to dominate. Different people help us to become ourselves. And the people who around us help us to be unique. So this are my thoughts. I'm interested in yours.
