These two words are often misunderstood and are most abused too. People don't differentiate between infatuation and love, love and lust. That's because people don't see the significance in separating them. These words are taken so lightly. For a smart society, this is a tremendous setback mentally and sometimes physically too. Being attracted to a person is different from falling in love with them. While attractions can barely last, love strongly stands for years to come. Lust is all about body and love is all about soul. Lust is when the body concerns you more than anything else. Pretty faces are chosen over pretty minds in lust.
Lust is the kiss visiting your lips and love is the kiss lasting in your mind. When love gives, lust takes but why do we end up thinking of lust as a wrong guy in the move of love? After all, a relationship stands firmly on both these pillars. Love without lust can only give you a friend or a 2 am buddy. Lust without love can only drag you into nightstand and toxic relationships. Love and lust together give you a soulmate for life. Both give happiness in different ways and mistaking them gives hurt in different ways.
Love gives you responsibility. It makes you selfless. You will be content with your partner's happiness. Lust aches for attention and self-satisfaction. Who doesn't like attention? Why do we find joy in accusing lust after all everyone lives by it? Lust itself can't get you through hard times and Love itself can't give you every pleasure. Both go hand in hand. Love accompanies you whereas Lust involves you. Feelings of lust and love can be similar, but they may end up playing different roles in your life. So beware of your feelings towards someone. Don't mistake love for lust and lust for love. This blunder mistake can have a huge impact on your life.
A lap to cry on is better than a lap to lie on but you still need both.
