Influence.

Ah, the fight fire with fire theory. Nicely done.

The one I like is "the hair of the dog that bit you" hahaha....the remedy is the poison. Very clever indeed! If I am infected then who's influence shall remedy me? Mine? Some other's? It's only the influence that I ALLOW to be administered to me that remedies...so maybe I can choose my disease then? Hahaha Your influence is indeed contagious...though I'm not sure if its an ailment or a remedy ;-)

remedy is sought immediately upon birth. how to extinguish its anguish and the paradox of no pain no gain and yet the placards o'er our graves are proof that we have found such a doctor to cure all chills and ills. we can only hope.

my first thought on your piece is the power of one!!! how one can make an impact in this world. we are not peons!

A parodoxical remedy indeed! take 2 paradoxes each day before before meals. Contact your doctor (or philosopher) immediately if doubts persist... nice one Ashok! is this a paradoxical parody perhaps?

This one made me chuckle... though influences don't always make me laugh, the Truth you've spoken does. Amen!

I refuse to be influenced, unless you have good reason. Let's discuss it over tea, then we'll see who's who. Pe4ce...

Ashok, you are so philosphical and profound. Sometimes circular reasoning is the best there is.
