Lust is temporary, romance can be nice, but love is the most important thing of all. Because without love, lust and romance will always be short-lived.
Danielle Steel
Love and Lust sound different but trick your mind into believing them to be same, Ultimately they for sure MAKE you feel dumbfounded at the stark difference once you reach the end of road. In recent times the word LOVE has become the most frequently and loosely used word, in spite of a deep and pure meaning it carries; “I loooove this coffee”, “I looove this coaster, OMG it’s so cute!”….so on and so forth. The word LOVE has lost its sheen and seriousness.
“Love is not something you begin with, It’s a Destination.“
So yes, Lust may lead to Love sometimes but it is not the case most of the times. If you want a easy way to understand, Love will stand the test of time if Lust is also a part of the relationship if it is a minor subset of Love. Lust, though it has a negative connotation to it, it is essential part of any romantic relationship. Sometimes a beautiful relationship may just start because of the lust but it wanes off way too quickly and so will the relationship.
“…If you can’t end it you will feel STUCK in the relationship.”
Lust is essentially the sole desire for physical intimacy without any want for emotional involvement. When you lust for someone, you might think you love them. This notion seems valid because you love the projection of the person you are lusting for, but you never make an effort to get to know them so the first time you see in them something that contradicts your standards of them in your imagination you will invariably end the relationship or worse, if you can’t end it you will feel STUCK in the relationship.
As we always insist on building emotional intelligence in order to improve the quality of your life, It is important that you understand the difference between Love and Lust so that you would not commit the blunder of mistaking one for the other.
