Thermodynamic Hypothesis

I hypothesize that all human behaviour, both that of individuals and society is an extension of the first law of thermodynamics or in other words; all life is about the transference of energy.
If you think about it:
1) Obviously, as everyone knows, when we eat food we transfer energy from the food to ourselves.
2) But also when we have children we transfer energy to them by expending energy to raise, feed, educate and empower them.
3) And when good people help the less fortunate they transfer energy (they expend their energy to help empower someone else)
4) Similarly when bad people steal from others they consume their energy (money, power and ability)
5) When we work to produce a good or a useful item we expend energy to create something that will empower someone else thus transfer energy to them.
6) Similarly, when writers, musicians and other artists expend energy to create a work of art which moves someone they are transfering psychological energy.
7) When a crowd cheers on their football team they are also transferring psychological energy to players just as players are transferring kinetic energy to the ball.
8) When a political activist expends energy to fight for someones freedom they are transferring energy because freedom will enable the person they are fighting for to do things.
9) Even just telling your friend to cheer up, you are transferring energy because you are expending energy to motivate them.
And why is it that all human life is this transfer of energy?
Well it makes sense to me that if all inanimate objects transfer energy and transfer of energy also takes place througout nature, it should effect everything, even human individual and social behaviour.
Is this useful? -
I think that, if energy exchange is a motivating force behind human behaviour it could help people better understand what drives and shapes humanity.
