Human act trial fake

"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion and desire." Aristotle


I have reading so much Philosophy recently for my online summer class and I find myself going past the assigned chapter constantly because it makes me think....

This is my brain on this..
Chance: The unknown and unpredictable element in happenings that seems to have no assignable cause. What is the chance that something happens. We all say everything happens for a reason. Or it was meant to be. If it's meant to be it will find it's way. But what is the chance that you are there and I am there at the same time. Or the small world we live in. The chance that you see someone or something that makes you act on it. A force assumed to cause events that cannot be foreseen or controlled. Aka. Luck. Chance is UNCONTROLLED you have no control over the force of chance, it will always lead you to wonder, think and most importantly act. Who is in control of chance.

Nature: There is only one thing in this world that is untouched. Barely. But parts of this world are pure. Untempered with and just let be forever. Nature is the forces and processes that produce and control all the phenomena of the material world. Nature is our leading force behind everything we do. It could be the nature that one grows up in that leads to human actions. It could be the essential characteristics and qualities of a person or thing. It is the center of the fundamental character person. Nature is the pure world, but also the pure person. The natural or real aspect of a person, place, or thing. It leads to human actions because one should always trust there nature.

Compulsion: This is dangerous but it lays inside all of us. Compulsion is an irresistible impulse to act, regardless of the rationality of the motivation. You are glued to your impulse. Some people have control, others don't. But compulsion has the ability to subconsciously make the mind think, wonder, desire. Compulsion leads to actions weather it be uncontrolled impulse or uncontrolled questions.

Habit: A state that one is immune to and programmed to. We are shaped as individuals. To know right from wrong, to have a conscious or not. To feel, to be numb to feeling. Habit is always recurrent, anbd often unconscious. It is a pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition. You are shaped into routine as a human, as a student, as a daughter, as a girlfriend, as a mother, as a wife, as a dancer. Often routine becomes habit. Habit is a lifestyle and human actions often go hand in hand with lifestyle and habit from living.

Reason: We all need a reason to believe. What reason is right or wrong. How do we know the right reason is the right reason. We don't know the future, we don't know the outcome. Reason is often a safe haven or a way out as well. It is a declaration made to explain or justify action, decision, or conviction. It is a normal mental state; sanity. Reason to be sane.

Passion: Passion lies inside all of us. Passion is engulfed by drive. Drive is strong in some and weak in some. Passion is the most powerful of emotions, such as love, joy, hatred, or anger. How various. Passion could be ardent love. Strong strong sexual desire or lust. Boundless enthusiasm. Or even a abandoned display of emotion, especially of anger. Passion sparks need, want and opens up to several others of these causes. If passion is MIA you are not human. One must be passionate to become what he/she was destined/meant to become.

Desire: Most human actions are merely sparked by desire. One wants, one goes and gets. Desire is a wish for or a long for. You act on desire. Some people live for desire. You might deny it, but you're tied to your desires.
