Sometimes it is seen, people take decision in emotion and later they realize they make a huge mistake but that can never be rectified again. In Srimad Bhagwatam canto 1 chapter 18 there is the story of King Parikshit and Shringi Rishi, who cursed King Parikshit.
When King Parikshit reached in cottage of sage Shamika he was feeling hungry and thirsty asked for water from sage Shamika but sage was in deep meditation and unable to hear king.
King though he is not giving me proper hospitality and due to thirst he kept dead snake on sage neck.
When Rishi Shringi son of Shamika heard this, he was playing with his friends and thought I must punish that king and emotionally to impress his friends he cursed king to dead within 7 days by snake bite.
But when he reached to his father he started crying for his own mistake, what I did was just to impress my friends and emotionally I made a big mistake, but now I can not rectify it.
Even his own father pointed for his mistake, how could you do this, as a King if he did so, that was not the cost of punishment you gave him because they protect us.
The same thing happen with all of us, without knowing the real cause of the problem emotionally we take decision and later we have not control over it.
People and situation makes us excited but that is the time we have to test our capability, how much do we have control over our emotions. Don't let others know what is going inside you, later think of it what can be the best for me not immediately. Because immediately due to emotion we can never take the right decision.
God has given us the intelligence and ability to think and if we think we are not capable to take decision better we go and ask that person whom we think can guide us with the help of Guru, Sadhu and Shashtra.
