be seized by a whim
The literal meaning of this idiom is that a person's heart is boiling, as strong and impulsive as the tide, which is a metaphor for a sudden whim or decision. The relevant allusion of this idiom comes from Xu Ming Lin Zhong's Love of the Gods.

"On a whim" is usually used to describe someone who suddenly has an idea or decision at a certain moment. This idea or decision is usually not well thought out and prepared. This sudden idea or decision may bring unexpected results, and sometimes it may fail. Therefore, "whim" often carries certain risks and uncertainties.

This idiom can also be used to describe a person's character. Some people are impulsive, easy to make decisions, like taking risks and trying new things. This kind of personality can also be called "whim". People with this personality may be more open, optimistic and interesting, but they also need to pay attention to risks and consequences.
