What I have always wanted for myself is much more primitive. It is probably nothing more than the affection of the people with whom I am in contact, and their good opinion of me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My desire to be valued is manifested in cultivating relationships with my friends and family.
We all have different desires and needs, but if we don't discover what we want from ourselves and what we stand for, we will live passively and unfulfilled.
I desire many things concerning myself; but I desire nothing so much, as to have a heart filled with love to the Lord. I long for a warm personal attachment to Him.
Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?
My faith in humanity leads me to believe that people are looking for something more elevating than the sordid details of the intimate aspects of one's personal life.
It's important to ask yourself, How am I useful to others? What do people want from me? That may very well reveal what you are here for.
'Old Fashioned' can expect strong interest because it taps into a universal human longing.
Like other men, I have sought honours and preferment, and often have obtained them beyond my wishes or hopes. Yet never have I found in them that content which I had figured beforehand in my mind. A strong reason, if we well consider it, why we should disencumber ourselves of vain desires.
There are times I wish I was more conventional. I would get a husband and a baby and a big SUV in the 'burbs and be happy. But forging my own way - my career, my relationships with wonderful but troubled people - that's who I am.
I come from a very loving, stable background where I've been persuaded to just be myself and anything is possible.
