Love vs. Lust

Love is defined as something you earn or gain in months or even for some people years, lust is simply defined as something you can gain in a matter of weeks or in some cases minuets. Love is like a complicated puzzle that you can only put together with one other person. Lust can be like a puzzle too but if you have various people helping you day in and day out then some of the pieces might have gotten lost or rearranged. If you have a puzzle with lost or disarrayed pieces there won’t be anything left for that one person to put together. It may seem like a common cliché but loves does conquer all even if you’re the most pessimistic person out there, no one wants to put together a puzzle alone. Love is best defined as a feeling you get when you spin around in circles really fast. You feel out of breathe and everything loses its form right before your eyes. However unlike spinning around and having the ability to control whether you stop or not; when you’re in love you can’t control the spinning. Love isn’t an over-night pimple cure, love takes time to brew up and blossom into its full effect. Sometimes people prove their love by going out of their comfort zone. When Hercules went out of his way to the underworld to save Meg’s soul not only did this action prove his bravery but how committed he is to this one girl. Going out of your way for good reasons is love (mind you that you don’t have to go the underworld for it though.) Another part of love is the family. Family may not be important to your significant other but if you want to call it love you have to respect where your significant other came from. Being in love with someone also means having love for you. You have to be able to be comfortable with who you are because if you don’t like you then who would? Lust is a cruel act of an “in the moment” feeling with people you find attractive at that

    Now, we have to go over defining love, because clearly it is not properly introduced in Shakespeare's play. There is no specific way to know you're in love, because if you actually are you should just know, and feel it. There's no telling that a first love will never last. There is no rule that you can only be in love when you are a certain age. Anyone is capable of love. Teenage love is true too, and can be strong. Or at least, some is. You cannot say that a person is only in love when they feel certain things. It only matters that you do know the person somewhat well, and you strongly care about them. That they bring out a positive part of you or make you feel warm and fuzzy inside, and that you feel no need…

    This article defines love as relating to thoughts in the distant future and lust as triggering thoughts related to the present. Forster et al. (2010) propose that there is a link between love and a global processing style as well as a link between lust and a global processing style. In the authors’ first study, college students were to imagine that they were walking with a person that they were in love with or a one-night stand. In the authors’ second study, were subliminally primed as opposed to the first study where love and lust were blatantly primed. Results showed that distance mediated the effects. This article will allow me to show the differences and similarities between love and lust in certain contexts.…

    What is love? I never knew until I was fourteen year old at my first horse show. My family has always told me that when I loved someone or something unconditionally for exactly what it was without expecting anything in return, and when I was away from whatever I loved I would feel like something was missing, and only then would I truly understand love. At that first horse show I understood what they told me. For me my first horse show changed my life, it made me feel so alive and I never wanted to leave. Everyone has their own definitions of love but mine is for a series of events and is much different from the typical "love" that most people understand.…

    Love has a different meaning for many. For some, it may be an act of loyalty, and for others, it could be a comforting relationship. It is also an act in which everyone is happy. However, few differentiate love from lust like the character of Tomas from the book “The Unbearable Lightness of Being” by Milan Kundera does. In fact, the function of the fifth part is to prove that even though Tomas has sexual relationships with other women, he still loves Tereza.…

    Love and Infatuation

    • 815 Words

    I would like to thank my ex boyfriends for coming into my life. Because of them, I was able to distinguish the difference between the two words. So let me give you some clarity about this confusion. For starters, love is when you’re willing to give your last bite to that person, no matter how hungry you are and how mouthwatering the hamburger is. Infatuation is asking that person to buy you hamburger and when s/he does, you feel flattered. See, loving someone is sharing what you have. Isn’t it a beautiful feeling to eat with the person you love, sharing each other’s food and seeing that person chew while smiling at you? Isn’t it bliss when the love is reciprocated? Being infatuated is allowing yourself to be foolish, irrational and selfish just because you are blinded with your impulse and emotions. You want to be pleased most of the time. Infatuation is likely to be unrequited and sometimes would result to obsession.…

    Infatuation is a feeling; real love involves a commitment also. Infatuation is just love of emotion. Real love is love of devotion. Only the emotion are infected with infatuation, but in real love both emotions and will are involved. Next, a person “falls into” infatuation, but “grows into” love. Physical attraction is a big involvement with infatuation. You often don’t know much in-depth about the person you so-called love. When you lust someone you want them simply because they are physically attractive, or you are feeling sexually deprived or frustrated.…
