Usage : {
Spontaneous }, {
Voluntary }.
What is voluntary is the result of a volition ,
or act of choice ;
it therefore implies some degree of consideration ,
and may be the result of mere reason without excited feeling .
What is spontaneous springs wholly from feeling ,
or a sudden impulse which admits of no reflection ;
as ,
a spontaneous burst of applause .
Hence ,
the term is also applied to things inanimate when they are produced without the determinate purpose or care of man .
"
Abstinence which is but voluntary fasting ,
and . . .
exercise which is but voluntary labor ." --
