Imagine three artists standing shoulder to shoulder on a plateau in Zion National Park painting the same sunset. One wants to hone his painting skills for a competition; another wants to give the finished painting to her husband on their anniversary because they had their first date in the park; the last wants to preserve the sheer beauty of the landscape in her memory. From the outside, the artists appear to be doing exactly the same thing. From the inside, each artist is doing something very different.
