Sayid's Motivation

Sayid is motivated by things unseen to us at this point in the season. This is seen when he repeatedly turns down Sawyer’s offer to free him. He talks often in this episode about his “purpose.” What was the purpose he spoke to Sawyer about that he realized since coming to the island? Was it to kill Ben, or was there something else motivating him to make his decisions.

An idea I had regarding Sayid’s motivation includes his strongest connection in his life, Nadia. Could Sayid be chasing after at this point a chance to see his beloved Nadia again? Remember the “box” that Ben spoke to Locke about in season three? Because The Dharma Initiative does not welcome him anymore, I believe Sayid will now seek out “The Hostiles” in some effort to connect to his lost love.
