The 2 Ws'

What do you think of the word Willing and Want?

When you're willing to do something, does that mean you want it that's why you do it? Or deep down, you don't want it but you willingly do it anyway. Just because you're being nice? Or for some other reasons of your own?

Let's say if you saw someone falling down..


Automatically you'd reach out your hand and catch them. But what does that mean?
Did you want to save them from hitting the hard ground? Or it was just a reflex that you willingly let it happen? Because you could have chosen not to bother and walk away.

In life, there are so many things that we want. We would even go after some things throughout our whole life. But why? Like wealth, it's true that we can't live without it in the real world. So we build up our knowledge since young, and have better education just so we can have a better career. But what about those people that hate their jobs and yet have the same job forever?

Why do they still do it?

No matter how much they hate their jobs and themselves everyday, sitting in that small cubicle with annoying phones that just wouldn't stop ringing.. For whatever that it's worth, they probably just want to keep their families happy, therefore working on a stupid job, willingly.

Pretty sure you got what I'm trying to say by now?


Life's too short to waste it on nonsense,
When you really want something for yourself,
You go for it.
No more hesitation.
Everyone deserves to be happy.

Well, you have got a point there. But in my opinion, I feel that how a person sees things and interpret it is very important. If you are willing to do something means you are pleased or ready to help someone without being asked to do so. This kind of action is compassionate and having a loving-kindness heart. In other words helping without hesitation.
On the other hand, wanting to do something is not a sure action. You may or may not want to carry out the action. It could be that you are forced to do it or due to some reasons known to the doer. Eg. If you want someone to do something, its like an order. But that person may not want to do it. Like he is not willing to do it but being forced into it. Hope that will help to clear your doubts a bit. Happy blogging!!!!
