In what situations does concealment make something more attractive than it would be otherwise?

Egoistic desire

I’m kind of stumped on this question. It makes me think of how people conceal certain things to be more polite, to be better company, etc.

The mystery of it all brings desire.

[Janae Ben-Shabat]

Concealment makes something more attractive precisely when it creates a true lack and therefore builds the Kli. When the Light is revealed openly, the will to receive grabs it automatically and the person remains in self-reception, which actually damages the possibility of equivalence of form and produces “bread of shame.” Concealment, on the other hand, leaves a person with only a trace and an impression—Reshimot—and the Light is then felt as Ohr Makif from the outside: it doesn’t fill, it awakens longing.

If I am selfish and only receiving for my own pleasure, and I am ignorant of the fact that pleasure can be eternal without canceling out upon reaching my vessel, then receiving for myself alone seems more attractive than it actually is.

[Anael]

Because you have to make great effort and desire to find out.
