I'm wondering is it true that behind one's action, there's always motives, be it good or bad ones...I get this from my friend, saying that this is true for most people, boy and girl included, they will expect something in return when they do something for you..
A guy who's courting you will do whatever you want him to.
A girl who wants something from the boyfriend will be an obedient gf for the time being.
A person who treat you good means he/she wants something from you.
A person who expect you to return his/her kindness one day.
A person who's devoted to God, be it christian buddhist or some other, expecting something in return when they pray.
I just feel it is sad to have motives behind every single thing we do, isn't it?? Can't we just do something without thinking why we do it? I don't mean that do those reckless stuff without thinking, just that not every single things in the world need motives to do them...
Parents who love their children and shower them with love and care, they don't expect their children to repay them back.
Treating your another half good and loving him/her doesn't mean there's motives behind them, it's just a way of showing your love for him/her.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Though i'm no Christian but this is one verse from bible that i remember, He didn't ask us to repay Him.
Friend who were there for you during difficult times or when you need a shoulder, being good and caring for a friend doesn't mean that there's motives behind it.
Actually i don't deny that some things that some people do may have motives behind 'em but not all, there are many people out there who do things for doing things, not because of some motives...just do things sincerely...its like, of course it is normal for us to pray for something, you can't say like, we have motives when we pray, it's not really that way...it's not really our place to judge bout all this...i just feel that no matter what we do, having motives or not, it's the sincerity when we do the things that counts..

Hmm....The heart is where all evil lies. No doubt there are people who is nice to others with an intention, we might never truly know the root of their actions at the first place. Nevertheless, there are plenty of good people around as well. :] I guess as long as you guard your own heart and not the one with the bad intentions, that'll matter more. :D Whatever it is, as long as we are willing to return the favour, it doesn't matter if they have intentions or not. Of course, not to the extent of being manipulated.
