What's The Difference Between Love And Lust?

Answer Question

4 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Love and lust are just words and therein lies the problem.  We associate certain things and attribute certain things to them but we are never actually sure because they do not have fixed meanings.

    Love is supposed to be a deep feeling for someone on a holistic level, whereas lust tends to be considered as a purely carnal or physical sexual level of being.

    Nonetheless, one can lead to the other.  It is often difficult to consider the two as separate as you would hope that anyone who wants or lusts after you might also want you in a deeper way, but being chemically wired the way we are, we are often attracted to the outside of people, and this is a much shallower thing but not necessarily wrong.

    Love, as difficult as it is to define is a way of ensuring that people want us, but on a deeper level. This is why I believe the root of these two words is the same, but they differ one what is wanted.

    Love is the most purest thing that people feel. love is the feeling that connects the mind, body and soul of two people... it is the feeling that makes you feel someone's presence even if that person is miles and miles away from you... love brings more joy than any feeling on earth and more hurt than any physical torture that can ever be possibly felt..

    As for lust.. its the thing which initially attracts us to people that we fall in love with..
    its the yearning that comes from every cell of your body to connect with touch and feel the person you love in physical means...

    they are quite different but compliment each other..

      Love's intent is to give while lust's intent is to take.

        Love is when you care about someone so much that you would want to spent the rest of your live with them but lust is when you think you love them because you want to have sex with them !

        From the article give below , while love is a mainly a spiritual and mental feeling, lust is purely based on a physical need. Love requires discipline and commitment while lust needs no such positive attributes to manifest.
