No, I don't agree. That statement is correct. You beat your heart
because you are motivated to move blood to your organs.

You want to insert the words "consciously" into my axiom. But that word
is not present. As I stated at the outset, some motivations are
unconscious. You are battling a straw-man.

My axiom is: "Every human behavior has a motivation."

No less, no more.
