The word eagerness is a term we use to indicate that fervent desire that someone experiences about someone or something. “Marcelo did everything with an unusual eagerness because he wanted to arrive early to the celebration of his best friend.”
Fervent longing for someone to feel for something or someone
It's about the aspiration or of the certainly deep desire that one has to achieve a goal in life.
Now, it can be projected on noble issues or be on the opposite side.
Those deep aspirations that are had for something, for example to achieve material wealth, can lead a person to carry out criminal acts or that are outside the law, that is, it is decided to get the money through illicit actions, such as robberies, it is opted for a path such as says popularly simpler, instead of striving and reaching a good economic position through job.
Generally and occasionally when the desire is aimed at an individual, that desire that something or someone awakens in us makes us we get to do things for them that a priori could be unthinkable, or that in another situation, or for another person, we would not be able to make.
It is also for this reason that the concept has been intimately linked with the love, friendship, private interests, among other issues.
Able to do anything to achieve the goal
When there is tremendous love and passion involved for someone, actions and actions are usually not measured. consequences and is capable of doing anything for them and in the name of that extreme love that is have.
When we talk about acts, these can be good and positive, or in their defect negative, such as lying for that person who is loved.
Total surrender to someone or to a task
On the other hand, the word eagerness is used in our language to refer to that attitude of total and absolute surrender of someone with some activity or personal interest. “His passion for tennis reaches really sensational limits, he gets up every day at six in the morning, without exceptions, to train.”
Basically this sense of the word is linked, on the one hand, to the interests and preferences of the people that make them dedicate themselves fully to them and put in them all your efforts and desire to develop them, from physical activities to others related to artistic and intellectual issues, among other
And on the other hand, that same attitude can be transferred but to a person to whom the entire dedication is reported, enormous dedication is dispensed with.
Thanks to the desire that someone feels for someone or something, they will be intensely moved to act, in a positive way, of course, for him or for it.
It should be noted that the action that motivates what is of our interest is normally the result of the purest and most natural spontaneity, that is, you want something and without thinking too much you do this or that thing with great wish.
Then, as a consequence of the aforementioned references, the word eagerness is recurrently used as a synonym for terms such as: will, longing, craving ....
Meanwhile, the word is directly opposed to concepts such as those of reluctance and apathy, which imply the opposite by the way, the lack of enthusiasm and interest towards something or someone.
Profit-profit: achieving an economic benefit
We must also say that there is a expression quite frequently used in our language that includes this word, such is the case of profit motive, which is used when you want to realize that someone has an intention to profit from something or someone, that is, to achieve a gain or economic benefit through a commercial activity or entrepreneurship economic, for example, in this context a disinterested action does not mediate at all, but quite the opposite, the objective is to achieve an economic profit with what is done.
