noun:
Loss or impairment of the ability to act or to make decisions.
I was suffering from an aboulia, you know. I couldn’t seem to make decisions.
– Anatole Broyard, “Reading and Writing; (Enter Pound and Eliot)”, New York Times, May 30, 1982Abulia derives from Greek a-, “without” + boule, “will.” The adjective form is abulic.
Kid started full-day kindergarten, and now, with tons of time on my hands, I can’t decide what to do first. Or at all. I seem to be having my own bout of abulia. I guess it’s like my own Hamlet complex. To vacuum or not to vacuum….
I’m wondering if McCain had this condition, too. That would explain someone else (or someone elses…like a cabal?) picking Palin as VP candidate for him. Yes, that makes more sense, doesn’t it?
