What's my Motivation?

I'm writing a book on philosophy-based issues except I'm trying to do it in a more approachable way. Here is my first chapter on human motivation, comments please!

"Episode 1:
The Boy Who Asked Too Much


What are you doing right now? Why are you doing it?
When are you going to finish? Where are you?
What time is it? Who's the president?


If there's one thing that truly annoys us it's too many questions:

There's the woman at bank
Who won't let you open an account before you've told her everything including what character your school's nativity play when you were nine.

There's the bouncer at the club
Who, no matter how hard you try to look older, still asks you whether you're 21.

There's the curious four-year-old
Who just won't shut up!


Yet at the same time our lives depend on questions:

If we weren't first asked things like "How is an Oxbow lake formed?"
We'd never have been able to pass our exams.

If no-one was first asked things like "Where were you on the night of October 26th?"
We'd never solve any crimes.

If we didn't have questions
Q&A sessions would lose most of their appeal.


You're probably thinking at this point:

"What is this guy on about?"

"Are questions important or aren't they?"

To find a website
We use a search engine

To find our favourite pair of jeans in a pile in the corner
We use our eyes

To find the truth
We use questions

And as I've shown sometimes we like questions or the truth
And other times we don't

So, though it may annoy mothers across the world, I'm going to bring back our annoying four-year-old. For as we all know there's only one question that a Curious Kid asks:

Why?
Because I'm busy at the moment.
Why?
Because I've got to get some important work done.
Why?
Because If I want to get paid.
Why?
So I can buy things.
Why?
To make us happy.
Why?
Because we like being happy.
Why?
We just do!
Why?
Oh, be quiet!
Why?

Thus, apart from stopping a fed-up parent from working, the four-year-old has accidentally found the truth through simply asking "Why?"

We do things because we want to be happy"
