Action without foresight


"Impulsivity, or action without foresight, is a factor in many pathological behaviors including suicide, aggression, and addiction," says the study's author. I just think it's a great explanation. Action without foresight. And it includes actions like addiction that take place over time. Impulsive, but chronic. Interesting how they're grouped in there with aggressive and suicidal acts, which are one time impulsive acts.

Thank God I'm on the low end of impulsivity lately. I can't seem to get anything going, let alone an impulsive act. Maybe running can become a chronic impulsive thing for me. That would be nice.
