The force of gravity “appears” to exist. However, like the wind, we infer that gravity exists by observing visible things and how they interact. We cannot directly observe gravity, just as we cannot see the wind.
Human nature is more of the same. We infer what people are thinking and feeling through their words, behavior, and physical manifestations. However, our naked motivations are invisible to both ourselves and others, limiting us to best guesses as to what is really happening.
