What
exactly does ‘predisposition to spontaneous activity’ actually mean?
Several days ago I was walking through fresh
snow with Yuri and Andrew, and I kept jumping up and snagging a branch with the
idea of raining snow on the two of them. Yuri proceeds to tell me that I have a ‘predisposition
to spontaneous activity’. I laughed and
thought about it for a minute. My
response was ‘absolutely’.
But what
exactly does that mean? Without diving
into the depth of research and understanding that Yuri is a psychiatrist, I
have contemplated this philosophy for a few days. For me I needed to break it
down. In my opinion, predisposition is
the concept of being innately about me and spontaneous activity means that I do
not really think before I act. I also know
that this philosophy mostly relates to my humorous side now, but years ago it
did not. As a teen I was much quicker to
temper.
According
to Wikipedia, yup, my source for all things believable and creditable…hehe!!!

Don’t
ask. I have no idea why this philosophy seems
to resonant with me. But is quite fun!
And warning
to all: I will engage in a snowball
fight at any given moment…
