Prompt: All influence is immoral because to influence a person is to give him one’s own soul. He does not think this natural thoughts or burn with this natural passion. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such a thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes and echo of someone else’s music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. –Lord Henry Wotton

Followers will never have their own opinions. Will never set a standard, or a trend. They will always be looked at second best.

Why walk in someone else’s path. Are they scared of rejection or correction? Or have they succumbed to their insecurities?

Hiding will never allow them to shine. Always in a shadow, always left in the dark. Are they afraid to step in front to feel the light?

These are the thoughts and footsteps of a follower.

One that will never walk on the path less travelled;

One that will never be a leader;

One that will be forgotten…
