Michael : Your answer "The cause is "you" reacting to the influences on you. The influences are not the cause". From a psychological viewpoint I agree, it is not healthy for Humans to think otherwise. Still the concept of influence deserves some clarifications, there are different kinds of influences. It seems that your statement does not range over all cases in point, do you allow me to make some public comments on this statement, as a result on your essay ?
