Consider an actor in a play. The actions are constrained, but
the motivation is subject to internal unconstrained processes.

Much of human motivation can be explained by hormones. A female dog
scatters sexual pheromones into the air, a male dog catches the
pheromones with his nose, and this triggers a production of sexual
hormones in the male dog, which motivates him to run towards the
female dog.

All instinctive motivations are triggered by hormones, but mental
motivations can be a little harder to explain, especially if they are
of a very abstract nature, and seems to have nothing to do with the
genetic programming.

I tempted to believe that my mental motivated has been programmed to a
large degree by myself, and not so much by my genes, but even so, I
think my mental motivation is deterministic.

There always seems to be a reason for my mental motivation, which can
be traced back to my previous experiences, and the knowledge stored in
my brain.
