Why not able and willing, but just doesn’t?
I’m willing to go for a walk today to burn a few calories. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna.
Wouldn't that make you unwilling?
Not at all. Willing means that I want to do something. Unwilling means that I don’t want to do something.
Just because I want to do something, doesn’t mean I will do that thing.
I’m willing to sit here and continue editing this post with examples to further illustrate my point, but I have to go to work soon.
Edit: Oof. Now I remember why I refrained from starting a lemmy account for so long. Appreciate the refresher.
