On impulse

Everyone has impulses, a drive, for them to do certain things, which can be “good” or “bad” thing. Most of the time, people can control themselves on whether or not they should actually act on their impulses. However, when people can’t control their instinctual impulses, most of the time their behaviors get them into troubles and legal issues. One classical example of impulses now a day for teenagers is the impulse to go on face book. We all know how facebook is interactive that it brings entertainment and social connection between people. People can chat, comment on people’s updates and picture and play games on face book. However, often times, facebook is like a maze that often times we got trap in it before knowing that we have wasted more than 2 hours surfing through people’s profiles and picture online. For example, when you see a new e-mail saying that blah blah has commented something on your picture, you will want to log into facebook and check out the message. However, your inner-self keeps telling you to ignore the mail because you may spend more than 2 hours online. However, the impulse is so great that you tell yourself that you will only spend no more than 5 minutes on it. Once you log in, new message keep popping out one after another on facebook that you couldn’t go offline. Once 2 hours pass, you regretted that you have once again fall into the trap of impulse.
