Tony Robbins says that all human motivation is to get out of pain and into pleasure. I guess this works on some levels,
but I devised my own model today, that all human motivation is to either create life, or sustain life.
Which is one step back from Darwin's; survive and reproduce model. But I think by create life, it can mean anything creative that we do, listening to music, having sex, baking a cake. And by sustain life, I mean paying off bills... bombing another country (so your country will be safer) etc. But also positive things, like building bridges or a house, fetching a bucket of water from the well.
and I suppose there's lots of things that both create and sustain life, like going to sleep at night, so our bodies rest, and we can get up tomorrow, and also having dreams where we explore our unconscious creative mind. Or we cook a stir fry that's creative and tasty as well as nutritional..
Does this model work for you guys in any way? It's possible I've just gone insane
