No honourable feat is the result of a single spontaneous instant decision. It precedes many such small decisions for that one great act to appear spontaneous. So is a grave mistake or mortal sin. No one makes such a sin, without previously indulging oneself in petty mistakes and compromises, which eventually lead one to the 'big error'.
So how to achieve great merit or virtue? Or how to avoid landing in the 'big error' or 'grave danger'? Mind the small, daily decisions and acts. What you decide at each relaxed, calm and serene moment is what you will eventually decide later when under duress or strain.
Make hay while the sun shines!
