Loco-Motives

I've done a lot of thinking. I am not God and only God can see the true intensions man is compelled by. The only truth I can come to is that everything we do has been compelled by a motive. A motive is the essence of of being compelled. In other words, it's why we do something.
Before we do anything an emotion or reaction has been aroused within us and motivates these essences to surface. An action has never once come to pass without being motivated by the essence of something. For example, if you see a chil being beaten the essence of anger may motivate you to hit the child's abuser.
I'm really curious about the essence of intensions. Are they pure or impure? Was a kind act really a selfish facade so that an image could be exalted or improved in the eyes of others? I will never truly know.
We must be careful because the Bible is clear about the ways of man. The ways of men seem pure but God weighs the motives of every man's hearts. In other words, sometimes what seems so pure isn't pure at all and God knows.
I've been seen a lot of people doing a lot of work for others. Work for the poor, homeless, widowed, and orphans. We must not be so focused on the act that we forget the essence in which the act was compelled by. Keep yourself pure. Act with a purpose that has a clear essence.
Otherwise you are simply dealing with Loco-Motives.
