What if you find that you are being controlled by someone, potentially a mind controller who can control the actions you perform? Obviously your life would be a mess and you will no longer be a master of your own life.

How will you feel about it? The mind controller might have access to all your activities and he can force you to commit crime, and then you will be arrested for what you have not done. What if the controller gets access to a person of authority or for example a superhero? Can we even calculate the damage it will cause not only to city but humanity as well?
Some years ago, I watched a tv series titled Jessica Jones. The story deals with the life of an accidentally made superhero who has got the superpowers to protect the humanity from the upcoming dangers. As the plot progresses layers were peeled off from Jessica's past who was earlier controlled by Kevin, the mind controller in the series.
Jessica had killed Reva Luke's wife on the orders given to her by Kevin. Hope, one of the victim of Kevin, shoots her parents and was arrested for a crime she was controlled to do. Jessica deviced a plan to free Hope from prison because she knew Hope was innocent but unfortunately she was unable to free her and Hope ended up committing suicide.
If a person of authority behaves in a disciplined way, then he can be useful to the society but what if he misuses his power? Let's consider a judge who while hearing a case lost his senses, what do you think will become of the case? Obviously the situation would become ugly. The judge might end up sentencing an innocent perosn to death or worst case scenerio, he can set a criminal free even though he is guilty of a crime.
This is just the same way a cop in the movie, tried to kill Trish walker, Jessica's friend though he was being controlled. He tried to override the security system of her house so he could enter and shoot her, but fortunately she survived. Jessica fought so hard to overcome the powers of the mind controller and finally, after some determination, she was able to over his powers and that's when she deviced a plan to kill the mind conteoller.
She succeeded in bringing an end to the influence of the mind controller over many innocent souls by killing him even though the mind controller kept blaming his parents for what he turned out to be. He gave an excuse that his parents used him for an experiment which went bad when he was a baby since both of them were doctors and that's why he is the way he is.
Who do you think is the culprit then? His parents who used him for such experiment and tried their very best to cure their only son of the bad experiment that affected him or Kevin himself who knew about his superpowers and misused them?
Is kelvin's excuses justified? Are we now justified to commit crimes just because of our past? Aren’t we doing the same with others in our real life? Don’t we justify our actions in the same way?
Even though this was a fiction, it does happen in our daily lives. We are controlled by the thoughts that we come across. Nowadays, people bindly follow what some set of persons say and don't even bother on contemplating on the reprecusion of this act.
People no more think about the long term effects but what they are interested is in short term and fast returns. What we really need is to think on whatever we hear. Give it a little bit of time and contemplate on it. We should never act on whatever we hear but we should always give it a thought.

We should never let the mind controller control our mind.
