?Addicted to Love?

1) Does it make sense to claim we have a natural desire to know? Is the desire for knowledge like or dislike other natural desires such as food, water, etc.
2) What happens when we find out the truth has been withheld from us? Why is this reaction the way it is? What are the purpose of lies? What if anything is being attacked when we are lied to? Can a life be more or less a lie? How so?
3) Does it make any difference to distinguish between happiness based on knowledge and happiness based on error or ignorance? Or is this a distinction that makes no real practical difference?
4) Is love the desire to be in the presence of things as they really are? Does love include this desire, or is this desire nonessential to love?
Love as in a compassion sense
