Lesson seventy one :Hastiness and precipitance
Imam Ali( A. S. )says:
الْحِدَّهُ نَوْعٌ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ لِأَنَّ صاحِبَها يَنْدَمُ فَإنّ لَمْ يَنْدَمْ فَجُنُونُها مُسْتَحْكَمٌ
Translation
Hastiness and precipitance is a kind of insanity because those having this attribute repent of their action very soon, and otherwise it shows that their insanity is stable and constant..
Brief description
Intellect and wisdom necessitate for a man to avoid undue hastiness and precipitance while using the opportunities because in this condition, he often fails to study correctly all aspects and judge truly, and soon repents of the consequences of his verdant decisions and unsophisticated actions.
Sometimes, man dissipates all of his speeches by one hastiness in speech, and loses his old intimate friends and penitence is sealed on his heart.
But if these people do not repent even after observing the bad consequences of their action, they are stable and constant in their insanity.
