Willingness or Willfulness?
Example 1: Joe and his friend decide to walk to a new store that just opened. Neither of them has ever been there before. Neither of them knows how to get there. They start walking and realize they took a wrong turn. They are lost.
Joe is starting to feel tired and frustrated. His friend suggests that they take a left turn. Joe thinks they should take a right turn. Joe starts to yell and his face turns red. He feels like crying or throwing something. His friend tells him that he is not listening to her. She still thinks they should turn left.
Joe’s eyes start watering and he yells at his friend, “I don’t care what you think!” He decides to walk away from his friend and take a right turn. Joe ends up lost and alone.
