In its most general and wide-ranging use, the concept of recklessness refers to the lack of prudence that a person, a group, among other possible actors has..
Lack of prudence in someone or something
Meanwhile, the prudence is the moderation, temperance, caution and good sense that someone shows when acting and speaking.
In prudence, reflection and analysis stand out over impulse. And it is precisely this salient characteristic that allows, in many cases, to make the right decision at the right time, because of course, normally those who act under the control of their impulsiveness in most cases, do not think, do not stop to do so. And you can make serious mistakes with serious consequences.
Lack of reflection, responsibility and commitment
We must also say that in those who act recklessly there is a total absence of responsibility and social commitment, because they do not even think about themselves and much less about those around them, because almost always those acts that are characterized by recklessness have consequences on the own person and on others, and obviously they are not good at all.
The person who behaves recklessly is called reckless and his opponent, the one who does so prudently will be called prudent.
A virtue to be cultivated
Prudence is a virtue and those who possess it will always act appropriately and fairly. When it is said that this or that acts or speaks recklessly, it is because he does not use clear and correct language, for example when he has to give an account of some bad news or unpleasant situation, because he does not respect the feelings and lives of those around him, constantly putting them at risk as a consequence of their untimely and unresponsible actions. That is precisely a reckless, a little responsible person who cannot take charge of a situation without complicating it with some action or comment.
As a virtue that it is, prudence turns out to be highly praised and motivated by the Catholic Church. At Masses, priests always try to include this virtue in their sermons to instill them in the faithful who listen to them.
It is very important for the committed Christian life, because it not only brings us closer to God but also because it implies an action in which self-care and care of neighbor is prioritized.

On the other hand, reckless act or saying is called recklessness. I really consider that it has been reckless for you to tell your grandmother that dad had an accident without first having prepared her.
