This is the definition of ‘mixed motives’, isn’t it! People are often surprised when I say I had more than one motivation in doing something, that part was selfish, part artistic, part greedy, part altruistic, etc. They aren’t really surprised I had them, just that I admitted to them. How does one hide motives, and for what reason? Why can’t more than one motive live within an action?
