Love vs. Lust
(Presented by Taraneshia Shivers)
What’s the difference between love and lust? Love is a number of emotions and a sense of strong affection. Lust, on the other hand, is a longing desire or eagerness to accomplish a goal. In different relationships, love and lust can have many different meanings. Sometimes, people base their emotions and feelings off of physical and sexual attractions. On the other hand, many relationships are built upon respect, trust, caring for each other, honesty, and friendship. Love could also be lust depending on the factors of the relationship between two people’s affection for one another. A relationship based on love will bring you happiness and commitment because this person will always keep you asking for more. The two people would be inseparable and would do anything to keep the fire burning. Lust brings about mixed signals, emotions, and keeps you waiting on unexpected options. Two people will desire to achieve their goals, but something will be there to distract them. Can you tell the difference between love and lust?
