Well, influence is one thing, reaction second, and shit the third. Shit
makes possible for other's to influence you and trigger reactions which
are actually not yours, but shit's.
When there is no shit, you are the one who chooses how to react,
depending on other's reactions. Others don't influence your reactions,
you influence reactions.
I don't see any paradox there. :)

Maybe, but then that thing is HUGE. It takes piles of time until another
cycle. :) Interpretations and boredom are just a small part of that
giant thing, which come at the beginning.

No, no... step /step/ n 1 the act of putting one foot in front of the
other in order to move along... ;)

Makes sense. ;)

Oh, that's the problem with capitalism. Everyone tries to sell, sell,
sell... Here in post-comunistic countries it's a bit different. You can
buy it, if you have enough money... but mostly you end up buying (or
even making or improvising) when you _really_ need it.
You can't afford to buy something you don't need or sell something you
need... ;)
