Love or Lust

Know the Difference

Many wonder what is the difference of love and lust. Two words that start with L but have large differences. So what is love? How do we know when it's love? What aspects tell us it's love? What small details give us hints? Do I love? Do you love? Now what is lust? How do we know it's lust? What aspects tells us it's lust? What small details give us clues? Do you lust? Do I lust? Everybody loves and lusts in their life once or twice. The huge difference about love and lust is time. When it's love, it's basically until death separates those two things.

Now lust is not forever. Someone gets a crush on someone just by seeing them? It's not love because in order for that, the person would have to know that person for a long time. They know the defects and still can say they love that person. No, a crush starts out as lust. They like how that person is, they like their body, their face, their laugh but they don't really know that person because they just like what they see. A lust is a desire, for example, you may lust vanilla ice cream when you see it because it's hot and it just looks so yummy, you just have to try it. It's the same with a crush, or am I wrong?

There are many types of lust. One is where unfaithfulness blooms. A guy or a girl may lust another person because of their body or smile. Now I'm not saying that lust may be bad. Another type of lust is over something like food. You see tacos and your mouth starts watering. You basically lust those tacos and you eat them a lot so you also love them. See, lust and love can be used at the same time. It's also important that a marriage has love and lust. Even as both partners grow old they must still love each other as though they were still young. They must still see each other with lustful eyes even if they are both old because even if the most lustful they can get is tickling each other, their love will never die.

Now love is eternal and forgiving. Love is knowing that person for a while and still accepting them and their strange ways. For example, you and your best friend grew up together. You know how they eat, how they sleep, yes even how they slobber when they sleep. They also know your defects and still accept you. They will take a bullet for you, verbally, a bullet hurts.

Here's an example of love or lust, you decide if it's love or lust. You have known Billy since first grade but you barely talk. You know that he loves sports and you love his blue eyes. He has an athletic body and is very smart in school. He has won many awards that you have heard about. You really want to date him, is this love or lust?
