Motivation

In Burning of my house and Scarlet Letter, Bradstreet and Hawthrone emphasized on religous piety. In Burning of my house, Bradstreet was trying to not mourn for the material possessions she lost in the fire. Normal people would like go nuts, cry, break down...and a lot of negative reactions. This shows that piety can make a lot of nonsense happen. In Scarlet Letter, the religous "symptoms" are much devastating. First, the villagers made a so freaking big deal about adultery Dimmesdale and Hester did. Think about it, who cares? Hester lost her husband, so she have every right to make sex. Secondly, Dimmesdale was overly concerned with guilt. Who in the world now would be all that angry at himself for having sex with another girl? Its not even raping because Hester liked it. For me, my motivation is FOOD. Like how the panda in KungFu Panda, I admire food. I can do just about any nonsense for food, such as rushing to lockers after American Literature eagerly (we all love this class, don't worry). And of course, religious motivation seems almost non-existing to my actions. At least so far in my life, I have never tried to act in the name of God, Great Architect, or something as holy as that. Earthly beings have their place, and neither above nor below should be connected with each other.
