Impulsivity is something akin to spontaneously jumping out of an airplane and not realizing that you forgot something until about five seconds before impact.

We got where we are because our choices mapped the route and paved the road.

To be careless in making decisions is to naively believe that a single decision impacts nothing more than that single decision, for a single decision can spawn a thousand others that were entirely unnecessary or it can bring peace to a thousand places we never knew existed.

I probably ‘thought’ myself into the place that I have now ‘found’ myself.

Most often, what I don’t know will have a vastly greater bearing on my life that what I do know.

I will love or I will hate. And while it might be true that the former will demand everything of me, I can be certain that the latter will take everything from me.

We work hard to believe that our actions really don’t affect others all that much because we want the license to act without thinking all that much.

Ignorance is avoiding that which stands in front of me out of the misplaced hope that it will put what I’m ignoring behind me. Instead, it’s most certain to drop it on top of me.

Has it not ‘dawned’ on us that many of the things that we incessantly blame others for are actually things that our actions originally set in motion? Or, are we too weak to experience a ‘dawning’ of that sort?
