Given how uncertain people generally are about their motives, isn't what you do the most important thing? For example, when you read about the background to many great works of art, you'll often find that they were composed for the most trivial and ridiculous of reasons impressing some random woman that the author was keen on, settling scores with a rival, winning a bet, or, most often, just paying an overdue bill. To do the right deed for the wrong reasonIt sounds convincing, but I've never been able to decide if I agree. My favorite lines are the following: The last temptation is the greatest treason Most of the action is in Thomas's head, as he rejects the easy solutions presented by his Tempters, and decides to stick to the course which inevitably leads to his death. A fabulous verse-drama about the martyrdom of Thomas Becket.
