Understanding Labyrinthine "Labyrinthine. The very sound of that word sums it up-as slippery as thought‚ as perplexing as the truth‚ as long and convoluted as a life" (Cooper 347).

The motivation theory that I am in most agreement with would be the Diversity view point. We as humans are motivated by a variety of different things; every individual is unique and has different goals‚ purposes‚ perspectives and ways of life for one another.
