Life itself is important and therefore I must take a better look at life itself, understand who I am, who the others are, and what our relationship is. From this understanding of human relationship springs action. Action is not something which we should perform because it leads to a certain result. Action must spring from our very being, from the understanding of oneself. That is spontaneous action. Impulsive action is immature. Most of us know only impulsive action. For example, somebody calls you a fool, so you roll up your sleeves and hit him. That is impulsive action and proves that you are a fool! That is impulsive action born of our lower animal nature.
As we mature, we begin to see that this impulsive action is confusing. It creates more problems than it solves. When we are subject to impulsive activity, our whole life becomes a string of regrets and remorse. How often have we said, “I should not have done this, but should have done something else.” That is because that action was impulsive.
