It's one thing to mess up because you haven't thought through the consequences of your action. It's quite another to think, "Yeah, if I do this, it's going to cause huge problems for me, and I'm going to wish I hadn't done it, but I'm going to do it anyway." Maybe your parents said that if you went out a certain night you'd be grounded for a month, but you decide to do it anyway, knowing full well that your parents will find out, and it totally won't be worth it. That's a trivial example. How about if a close friend or family member tries to help you, and for no apparent reason, you do something nasty that drives them away?

The Greek Philosopher, Plato once said “A good decision is based on Knowledge, and not on numbers. What Plato means by this is when we make a quick decisions are going to rely on our instincts, and we will not consider the facts. Both the authors Suzanne Collins and William Shakespeare show that they agree with Plato through the quick decisions made by their characters. In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare it is presented that when an event happens people will make selfish impulsive decisions.

For example, whenever I am driving my vehicle during the winter season, I always bring extra blankets and food and water, just like my mother did while I was growing up. I have never been stranded alone for multiple days, but there is always that risk of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Since I can’t control how icy the roads are, or when a blizzard will occur, I take all precautions to control what I can. I may never get stranded alone during a blizzard, but at least I have consistently prepared myself for the worst circumstances that could take place. If I didn’t consistently pack my vehicle, it would only take one severe blizzard for me to realize what a mistake I had made.
