Difference between Love and Lust

Rabbit
By Rabbit

Whats is the difference? Or are they the same? I know all the big big expressions we use to describe love but here I see the two used interchangeably.Correct me if I'am wrong. The men seem to look at us as an object rather than anything else.

okay love and lust should be mix together...something like halo-halo...AND lust is allowed with license...

Love is finding a lifelong friend...

Lust is only as long as a boiled egg :-)

Btw, I'm aware that I'm off tangent for this thread BUT my above post was directed at some people I know (actually, way more than a few) who will be dreading Feb 14 because of all the soppy sentiments that would bring back painful memories.

My point is - be yourself and move on. Do not put your life on hold. No need to blame the other. Everything happens for a reason and always remember that the sun is still shining behind the thick black clouds. You just can't see it yet. All the best to all.

That's not love. That's just infatuation and will fade.

And that's why, SOMETIMES, getting married after a whirlwind courtship is unwise. Some whirlwind courtships do last - because both parties are self aware and adaptable. Spending time together is the key - because the true character shows eventually, however both parties want to create and keep up a good impression. You need to build up sufficient good memories to tide you over the bad times.

Tig, 6 months? Heck, men or women can put on a good show for a good 2 years or more (esp. if they are not spending much time together - eg. long distance relationships).

One last parting shot - (hey, this is only my 2nd edit, while waiting for my late lunch to arrive) - Never change who you really are to please another.

Om Maui...please suggest me what actions tells you are in love with another person (I generally failed to express my love and assume my sweet heart to understand my feelings);

These actions could be just for deceit and not a true love...The true love is a strong feeling, which your heart and soul can recognise....without conditions.

I thought it was 9...ohh yeah..that's the gestation period for humans...hmm...

Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked,the good fortune to run into the ones I do,and the eyesight to tell the difference.

Well said, all, esp Owen

Scarlett said "...which is why I said women have to be over 40..our vision might be going but our intuition is sharper than ever!!"

- Oh oh.. life begins at 40? Shucks.. my life hasn't begun yet. Never mind, years pass by quickly.

Another thing you said, "Love is when you care enough about someone to wait for them forever..." - How romantic... but discernment is also needed. The person one thinks she/he loves with reckless abandon, may not be the right one.

Everything happens for a reason. In my upsets, with hindsight, things become crystal clear. But note, I'm speaking from my own particular perspective and stage in life only.

because once the lust is satisfied...the people move on to another one they lust after.

love can be seen on the faces(and actions) of those truly in love with another...just as lust can...but those who look can easily tell the difference.

Rabbit, All men want laptops. No man wants Dimond ring!

No lust no love. lust opens way for love. Lust vanishes, love remains....

victor bhatt, i beg to disagree. love is not a feeling at all. love is the action. you cannot say you love someone and not do something good for that person. love is the commitment to give and to share whatever good that will serve the person you love.

lust is taking. love is giving and taking.

only your soul can feel while lust is an action/expression followed by a strong desire....

you can lust over someone, and not have to love him/her.

but when you love a man/woman, you will find yourself lusting over him/her somehow.

Love is when you come over to your girlfriends house just to hang out and hug, and you don't need to have sex. Lust is when you come over and do those things to get sex.

By owen• 8 Feb 2009 10:31

you are dictated by emotions for LOVE...while only your physical aspects dominates with LUST...

Love is to be unselfish &

Lust is to be utterly selfish.

Times change, now lust comes all dressed up as love!

i can tell you this: "a crush is when you love someone & you why do you love them" "love is when you love someone & you don't know why you love them"

"lust is when you feel the need that you really wanna sleep with someone coz they are hot or something"

only takes us ladies til we are over the age of 40 before we can tell the difference in what the guys think tho!!

This is definitly a tricky one...

you see love is a term that you may use when and only when your with somebody priceless and you have a relationship built on enjoyable moments like being together or talking all day...

Lust is a term you may use when you have a relationship built on sexual tension and moments of proximity..

but thats how i see it..
