Intentions and their Nature

Intentions can be classified into three groups: Intellectual, Spiritual, Egoistic
Intellectual intentions are primarily focused on learning and knowledge, to discover, to know, to understand, the intention to know for the sake of knowing, the intrinsic motive arising from curiosity of knowlege.

Spiritual intetion is to give, to love, to care, to connect, to contribute, for the sake of doing without expectations of reward or any other incentives besides the intent that results in an action arising from that intent.

The egoistic intentions vary from intetion to satisfy egoistic motives, ranging from recognition, validation, displaying significance, and obtaining desired outcomes.
