To Be Known

Re core fears, core traits. What about core desires?

      The topic of core fears, core traits, came up again recently. What about core desires? 

      The positive side. This is a juxtaposition that often interests me after the question Evelyn Krasnik posted on Quora, about whether you are more motivated by negativity (eg. guilt, anger), or positivity (eg. desire, appreciation ). 

      I thought about this for a while. (There are clearly so many good pote risk answers to this but it felt like I didn't have any immediately that first my current interpretation for the question; this was kind of exciting, going through this set of thought I haven't thought about enough to have an answer for right now).

      After thinking, including after driving by the old car dealership with the broken window, I came up with this one:

      The desire to be known.

A branching thought, while continuing to think about this:

To be loved is to be known.

• Connects with desire to be "remembered" by God. (Past tense is contextual; in other words, known)

• Connects with "I want nothing more than to be seen right through. All the way through." Whether they like what they find or not I do not want to choose for them, but I want them to know me. 

^the exclusion of approval seems contextual, too. There is not denying that love plays into the core desire, too.
