well, it's a common habit to ascribe motivations to the observed results of someone's actions, a cause to the effect, e.g, "this cake is delicious, must be the cook loves us"

but while results are observable by all, motivations can't really be observed...

maybe the cook just got lucky today, or the cook has a good work ethic regardless of feeling, or the cook bought the cake in a store to save the trouble, or the cook performs better when not giving a fuck...

why people do things is very hard to establish. even with ourselves. sometimes we think we know why we do things, but we really don't hahahaha. it's like that quote by rimbaud about the brass waking up a trumpet and "it's not his fault" hahaha, because "i is another." therefore, if we can't really know ourselves, how much more of an alien, how much more unknowable is "another" with a different self?
