Impulses

        They say that the first impression being the best impression, decision based on it would be highly proper. The question is what guides the individual. For instance, decisions could be the outcome of impulses and not reasoned conviction. The former would be as unsafe as the latter is safe.

        Impulsive behaviour cuts across differences in age and maturity of individuals.It is the complex of a confounding number of bias,

        belief and temper. It is not rare for friends becoming inveterate enemies by a thoughtless remark under an impulse triggered by circumstance and mental status. On an impulse, the king ordered Becket to be executed only to make belated amends for his crime by inflicting on himself punishment by whipping.

        It is precisely because of this that texts say that speech should never follow thought immediately and deed should await a cooling off to restore mind to calmness. In actual practice, thise advice is not followed. Humans are egoistic in various degrees and a hurt to ego by a thoughtless remark would provoke unthought repartee. Texts say that the gurukulam is a must to prepare the growing generation for the challenges in life which pupils would have to face as adults.
