Spontaneosity

I'm coining an ulterior name with a positive connotation on this type of attitude. Spontaneosity. I think you guys can draw your own conclusions on this.

I might if I knew what you were talking about...

I'm talking about attitudes that would cause someone to make what most people would consider "bad decisions", the type of decisions that one would make someone call themself a name with a negative connotation such as an "alcoholic", "drug addict", "kleptomaniac", or something along those lines. I don't think that all "alcoholics" are bad people, and the same goes for "drug addicts" and "smokers", I have my own reservations on "kleptos" and "felons", but we can categorize these people under the superordinate name of "spontaneitics/spontaneics" and choose to treat them with medication and psychotherapy that will help to suppress their impulsivity. This type of category will also help them sustain a positive self image because someone who calls themself a "spontaneic" will be less likely to be shunned.

I call myself an alcoholic and I don't get shunned. I use the term partially to remind me that, though I haven't had a drink in over 20 years, I'm just one drink away at any time. And I'm great with that, because every day I overcome it again.

 

I'm guessing you don't realize how much power for good there is in a bad name.

 

I think your new term is a prop. If you're trying to overcome your bad decisions, you need to identify them for what they really are. Overcoming them is what should sustain your positive self-image, not using some term that would clump me in with thieves and... and... SMOKERS!

I know exactly what my problems are, and even though I have overcome them, it still brings me anxiety to think about them and to know that other people can shun me or consider me a bad person because of them, or even worse, that I may fall into those categories again at any moment. My hope is simply that we can identify the source of being impulsive, and suppress it for what it is, and all things that entail from spontaneity can be treated with one simple solution.
