Nah, there are always influences. Much like OP has, at least, one. Thinking will always be a collaborative affair, even if the set of influences you end up with is implies original statements. Also, I'm not saying understanding texts is without problems, but sometimes we seem to manage fairly.

One could ask: if your values are dependent on rewards from others, are they truly yours? I don't think they're really core personality, in that case.

Whoever seeks followers should see to it that in the process they too do not become a follower. And if you gaze too long into the follower count, the follower count will gaze back into you!
