Reached for: Acceptance
“Tell me what you need me to be. I'll be that, and I'll be good at it.”
Whatever a person or a group appears to want is supplied, at whatever cost to preference, position or truth, in exchange for admission. Disapproval lands like an injury because the self-assessment underneath holds no independent supply, having been formed under a verdict of insufficiency that was never lifted. What it asks for is one preference stated that costs a place.
Absalom at the city gate, embracing everyone who came through it and needing each of them to go away loving him. The form implies a task of letting one person walk past.
