Summary

This quote suggests that when others intervene or interfere in our actions, it reduces our tendency to act solely based on our immediate instincts or impulses. It implies that outside influences can restrain or hinder our pursuit of instant gratification. By intervening, others may introduce alternative perspectives or considerations that may lead us to alter our course of action, making it less focused on fulfilling our immediate desires or impulses. This highlights the potential impact of external influences on our decision-making process.
