How impetuously-based decisions can lead to negative consequences
As humans, most of our decisions tend to be impetuously-based, meaning that the decision was not thoroughly thought through. These decisions often lead to negative consequences of which can greatly effect one’s life as the result or the outcome was never thoroughly considered. But, luckily, as humans we also possess another side that alters the impetuous thinking into more logical ideas called rationality. Rationality, oppose to impetuosity, means that before one makes a decision, one would deliberate over the decision and forethought about the outcome to make sure the decision is reasonable and wise.

Now, Rosaline was a sworn maiden, so Romeo’s surrender of his love to her does not affect her. But Juliet is not, imagine how would Juliet react to the same situation had Romeo done the same thing to her? Would not she be devastated and scarred? This shows that during one’s teenage years, one can be very “fickle” about love, which may result in someone getting hurt physically and mentally. Another good demonstration of Romeo’s impetuousness is the marriage to Juliet. Romeo had only known Juliet for an
