Influence is only beneficial as long as you can control it. As soon as it gets out of hand, it creates guilt, which one should constantly reflect upon. We humans enjoy influencing others, and it's in our nature that we can't easily suppress it. Most of the time, we intend to achieve something good, but we shouldn't forget that time is constantly changing, and we are therefore bound to those who change. Influence isn't necessarily negative, but one should make an effort to prevent it from becoming harmful. People change over time, which makes it difficult to override one's own ego to retroactively change such things. One shouldn't overdo it with one's whims in life and should pay close attention to ensuring that they align with one's own desires in the long run.
