why would their reason have to be noble? Human motivations can be complex.
- philwelch 8y agoThey can also be very primally simple, but confused by layers and layers of rationalization and self-justification. And that's more obvious in children, who haven't learned how to rationalize their behavior very convincingly yet. If a child throws a rock at someone's head, they're not going to come up with the same elaborate justifications for that kind of behavior that, say, a political rioter would, even though the underlying motivations are probably the same.
