I actually cannot state with certainty that any one particular thing is the "underlying motive ("ultimate concern"/god), which colors everything" that a person says or does. That's Amore's argument, so you'll need to direct your debate towards Amore if you find that to be a faulty statement or conclusion. I only propose some possible terms that might satisfy her statement, if taken at face value, somewhat accurately - but I also believe the statement to be too loose to be useful as given. I won't profess to know the answer; nor am I convinced that Amore does, nor have you seemed willing to explore one with your own suggestions.
so, now you have simply removed that particular goal post....good.

If that isn't 'the motive' that colors 'everything', then what do you believe it to be?
1. Yes
2. The "motive" is a product of free-will.
3. no response necessary, see 1 and 2
