Love VS. Lust

<p>What's the difference? Which do you prefer? Is Lust bad?</p>

<p>Love doesn’t exist; I have lust, not love, but that’s hardly a bad thing.</p>

<p>^Love DOES exist actually but you won’t find it with that attitude.</p>

<p>The only place you should look at a woman is in her eyes!!</p>

<p>I’m guessing the only place I can stick my genitals is in your eyes as well?</p>

<p>What would you even be doing in my presence?</p>

<p>^^^ I don’t want people to be looking into my eyes all the time, especially if they’re somebody hawt.</p>

<p>The most successful relationships balance the two. That being said, lust is far more prevalent among teens. Unfortunately, many of us (particularly females) have difficulty distinguishing the two and end up hurt.</p>

<p>Ahaha I love my friends but I don’t have lust for them… I think</p>

<p>

<p>Are you a girl or a priest?</p>

<p>

You use ‘prevalently’ quite naively. Lust is always there regardless of whether or not you are aware.</p>

<p>Both!! Are you a dbag?</p>

<p>^^^That made me laugh. I like.</p>

<p>Ahem, I don’t think lust is TOO bad, as long as you don’t get STDs or whatever. If you sleep with enough people, I think you’ll find the right person after a while, right?</p>

<p>I think lust is the human desire for immediate satisfaction/pleasure, and the desire to go at a person. Love is when you set that aside and listen more to other things like moral emotions, a long-term relationship, a desire to stay with a significant other, etc. I guess the difference is immediate gratification vs. patience + time.</p>

<p>Lust isn’t bad. It’s a human characteristic to lust, since our main instinct, other than surviving, is to reproduce. So while it’s not bad, too much of it can warp your mind and then become harmful.</p>

<p>I would just call that emotional attachment or connection to another person. Like a friend.</p>

<p>Fire does not exist. When I burn a candle, all I get is the wax being oxidized and energy being released in the form of heat and light. I would just call that exothermic oxidization.</p>

<p>

Your analogy is out of context.</p>

<p>

That sounds reasonable to me; I call H20 water.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agree. </p>

<p>“Prevalent” and “always there” are virtually synonymous. I don’t see what you’re trying to get at.</p>

<p>Also, you don’t exist.</p>

<p>Romeo and Juliet should be all up in this thread…
But I just wrote my college essay on R&J (kind of), so I’m not getting into those two specimens now.</p>

<p>Lust is pretty bangin’. Love is annoying. Would rather never know love and always be falling in and out of lust.</p>

<p>I think love and like are on the same spectrum, just with love being a really intense like. Lust is physical. An ideal romantic relationship has both.</p>

<p>I think I’d go as far to say that lust is not only physical, but the absence of a “meaningful” connection - whatever that may mean - as well. Or we could go with the adage of “lust is selfish, love is selfless” or whatever it was.</p>
