Summary
This quote means that influencing someone involves imposing one's own thoughts, opinions, or desires onto them, essentially giving them a foreign identity. It implies that when we influence someone, we may manipulate them to conform to our perspective rather than allowing them to develop their own independent thoughts and beliefs. It suggests that true understanding and respect for others require acknowledging and accepting their individuality rather than imposing our own views upon them.
