3: Others influence our thoughts, feelings and actions

Man is not entirely alone in the thoughts, feelings, and actions he experiences in this life. Other agents both positive (John14:26; Hel 5:30, 46; D&C 85:6) and negative (Mosiah 3:6; 2 Nephi 28:22) can and do act upon him. Man can be acted upon for good or for ill. Sometimes man is acted upon for ill in spite of making good choices. In these cases man is still accountable for how he responds with his thoughts, feelings, and actions.
