What is it we want most?

A couple weeks ago in church, the speaker said that what people long for most is beauty...

I wonder about this thought. At first I agreed. But then I began to reconsider...and I wondered if we in white upperclass America too easily run to things like beauty and say it is what we long for most, when those in other cultures, especially cultures of poverty, would have a differing response.

Perhaps, what we long for most, no matter the culture, no matter a person's story, is to belong.
