spontaneity

"the task is not so much to see what no-one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everyone sees."
-Schopenhauer

is it possible to teach one to be spontaneous? if not, i don't know what i can do already...

an extract of an email taken from "OSLIST archives -- April 1998 (#21)":

"Hi Viv,
...For me, spontaneity is my achillies heel (or one of them). Spontaneity has brought me the most joy I have ever experienced. It has also brought me the most pain I have ever experienced. Because it is such a big part of me, it also exists greatly in my dealings with friends and colleagues in virtual space. So many times I hit the "send" button and then wish I could take it back, wishing I had not been spontaneous---alas, it is not possible. I then quickly pray to my angels and ask them to take care of the message for me. If it isn't to find its way, I hope it doesn't. And with that taken care of, I continue to allow my spontaneity to flow, in most circumstances..."

i prefer this scenario so much more to someone who contemplates so much and after 5 mins, still hasn't reply.

besides, i'm the kind stated in the extract.

lastly, can one who lives on spontaneity live with someone without? i really don't know... i'm trying to find out.
