we desire desire.

it would seen childish to point out that we take satisfaction in showing that we can do something better than others. we take a great deal of pain to cover up such a situation; but actually we arevastly gratified.
-(Marleau-Ponty: 1962-1989:189)

and though some things matter to us on account of use value, they also equal matter because they are symbols of desire of the other. we desire desire.
- Nick Crossley

there is Human desire for recognition in which recognition comes only thru superiority, dominancy, and power.

the thing is, i think people have this trait or tendency to feel satisfied that you're greater than others, and the importance of some things for us not because we need them nor want them in the first place because of its supposed value, but because people want it. This is because it is a necessity for them to survive in a community, in a society; and vice-versa. it's a part of the natural process of surviving. if you show people you have something greater/better than them, they will feel the need or want for you to be included in their group. it is because of the expectations or the feeling that you have something they lack that will complement or help them at the present or in the future. it creates the feeling of need, or want, for that matter.

imagine if you're the other person or the society, and you've just met someone with something you don't have- either materially or personally as a talent or skill. what would you feel? of course there is an assumption that this person you've just met is quite humble and 'unaffected/unflattered' with his/her power. You will naturally feel the need or want to be with this person. he/she can contribute something to the community. this person can help you, or share with you whatever it is he/she has that you lack.

works both ways. ]

instant friendships/allegiances form because of the simultaneous attention of the 'extraordinary' charcteristc of each party.

great friendshps form because as time goes by, the more the persons involved realize the need/want of each other for each other.

it was said that no two persons can't stay as friends in a long time unless there's something repulsive with the other person, or perhaps simply just the thought of it. that something can be anything from culture, environment, society, religion, moral values, ethics, priciples, to physical aspects and the overall personality of a person.
