Imprudence
Prudence has nothing to do with timidity or fear. Much less is a prudent person identified with someone who is unusually uncertain, meek or ambivalent. The virtue to discern well and to thereafter accordingly act pursuant to the dictate of right reason in a concrete or practical issue — this is prudence. Briefly, prudence is right reason in action. It is prudence that intimately guides conscience in deciding what to do and what to avoid doing — not really because the former is allowed or the latter is forbidden. Instead, prudence is choosing better than simply good, preferring what is honorable than what is merely permissible.
