Inclinations

The condition of being mentally inclined or disposed to something, or an instance of such condition; a tendency or bent of the mind, will, or desires towards a particular object; disposition, propensity, leaning. (OED)

Inclinations are tendancies to behave (thinking is behavior).

These do not have reasons; not all things have reasons for occuring.

A reason is something that is verifiable, sensible and reproducible.

"Why does the ball fall to the ground?" is different than "Why does my sister like green?" even though the sentence structure is similar.

The first is verifiable, you can prove it. I can prove to you things fall to the ground at a certain acceleration (science does this). It is reproducible, observable and verifiable.

The latter is assumed to be asking the same kind of thing as the first but this is a confusing and misleading assumption.

My sister does not have a reason for liking green, although she herself may believe she does (belief != know).

'Liking' is a tendency to behave preferable to something or agreeable to someone. I can like someone because they are attractive, I agree with their behavior, or their thoughts and opinions.

But what is the reason for that? Why do I like those things? You can keep asking that and end up in an unending regress (ad infinitum).

There is no reason I like blue more than green, how could I prove the reason? What would I look for? There is nothing to look for; look at what we say when asked with such questions "I just DO". Lacking a reason, we state there is none, but fail to recognise just what we are saying.
