one can influence another to make decisions
one can influence another to do the things they do
one can influence another to choose an ice-cream flavour
one can influence another to listen to certain kinds of music
one can influence another to think the way they think
one can influence another to change the way they act
one can influence another to do good
one can influence another to do bad
one can influence another to play the games they play
one can influence another to play the WAY they play
sigh,
the power of influence is great.
