The adhesive tape whispers that wanting to overly separate the deep motivation of a trip from what we do concretely is complicating life for nothing.
It smells like a theory that doesn't hold up against unforeseen events, especially when managing daily uncertainties.
Sometimes, activities imposed by circumstances end up dictating a new motivation, or at least modifying it.
For example, if I go to rest but a transport strike forces me to revise my plans, my initial why becomes secondary.
It would be more accurate to recognize that activities can also reshape our intentions, not just be guided by them.
