volition

All talk about consciousness, volition, and aiming at ends is empty.

任何有关意识、意志和最终目的的讨论是没有意义的。

All the men have is momentum and loaded weapons, which seem to fire of their own volition, since that's what loaded weapons like to do.

这些男人们拥有的只有狂野的冲劲和上膛的武器，就仿佛这些武器都以自己的意志在开火一般，因为这正是上膛的武器的诉求。

We perceive something in the world that we want and we have the power of volition to get it; likewise, we have the power to avoid the things we don’t want.

我们将世界中的事物认知为我们需要的，和我们有意志力能得到的；同样，我们有能力避免不想发生的事情。
