Motivation drives changes. Motive drives actions.

A faraway ‘friend’ is buying up our drinking wells in our village. Most villagers think it’s just another commercial transaction. Only the clever ones believe there is more to this move most likely motivated by some hidden intentions. I’m concern too as I need to drink from this well from time to time. The next village is very far away and I don’t have the energy to get there to ask for help. I foresee tough times ahead but wonder if our village chief evaluates and thinks far ahead to mitigate this issue.
