Interesting quote from "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst"

Hi - I'm reading "Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst" by Robert M. Sapolsky and wanted to share this quote with you.

"Various muscles have moved, and a behavior has happened. Perhaps it is a good act: you've empathically touched the arm of a suffering person. Perhaps it is a foul act: you've pulled a trigger, targeting an innocent person. Perhaps it is a good act: you've pulled a trigger, drawing fire to save others. Perhaps it is a foul act: you've touched the arm of someone, starting a chain of libidinal events that betray a loved one. Acts that, as emphasized, are definable only by context. Thus, to ask the question that will begin this and the next eight chapters, why did that behavior occur?"
