Why do we do the things that we do?

Actions are often resulted from the desire for pleasure, restrictions of religions and moralities, the need to adapt to the surroundings, instinct to survive, and basically putting their creativity into the real world. These can be observed in daily activities such as going to school, going to work, or any other activities that include interacting with others. For example; we eat because we feel hungry (desire for pleasure); a muslim prays every night before going to bed (religions/moralities); we ask questions about where the new gym is located (adapting to the surroundings); we run for our life when we see an armed mental hospital patient (instinct to survive); we write diaries (putting thoughts and creativity into the real world).

Of course, there are many more reasons for why people do the things they do. These are just some of my own ideas from my 17 years of life experience. I am looking forward to adding on my list as I move on...
