Difference Between Love & Lust - Page 4

Lust is only skin deep, but love goes all the way to the soul.  Lust is something that does bring some people together.  But lust doesn't always keep them together.  Love is something that goes much deeper than lust.  Of course, while in love, you have lust.  (Hopefully it IS with the person you are in love with.)  But love makes you accept a person as a whole, not just the looks or chemistry together as with lust.

Lust and Love Difference

Personally i think that the idea of love is highly commercialised...most people are jus carried away by findin their "soulmate" and they think that everyone they meet and feel connected with or rather to is "the one"...the long and short of it is that in my mind most people are ruled by lust and call it love...use love as an excuse to get into bed with the other person...use love as an excuse to do practically anything even things as horrendous as murder and suicide....love is one if not the most abused words in the english language...and used when lust would be a more appropriate word...i think that there is a vast difference to both these words but most of us never seem to quite get it cause we are so caught up in the search we never take the time to slow down and really take into perspective wha we are really searchin for..now dont get me wrong i do believe that there is true love out there...wha i think is that most of us dont love ourselves and so how can we truly love someone else..i think that is one of the reasons why so many relationships fall apart these days...cause most of us dont know the true meanin of love most of us fail when our love is tested....so in endin i would like to say i for one am not searchin for love like so many others i know..im jus here takin every day as it comes...and if love happens it happens if not i believe in reincarnation..lol...next lifetime...anyways thats about it on this topic maybe more when i sleep and get up...refreshed and with probably a better understanding of the world and the way it works....but in closin id like to  say love is a gift given to us and one that we sadly abuse... i jus wish that more of us would take some time and savour ourselves become almost all that we can be (dont want to wait til we're geriatric to be in love right...lol) and then find a partner who we can grow with and who can grow with us ...not one we feel a flame for for a few months and when thats gone we cant sit and have a simple conversation...i know that lust is not enough for me...its good to feel sexual attraction to your partner but u should not be overwhelmed by it to the exclusion of everything else...cause as the old people say u need to have somethin to keep u both interested when the fires go out u know and i tend to take their advice cause hey they lived it so they should know somethin about it right??anyways thats definately it for now..my brain almost got fried with that one i know some people whod wanna fry me when they read this but hey this is my opinion and thats the whole point of postin right...laters and thanks for readin this...
ps theres more id like to say but sleep is wha i want at this moment...so maybe another time

I agree with you,  many use the word 'love' in their actions, but it is really lust they are referring to. Yes, they watch too many movies and commercials and then expect to find the 'same' aspect of love/lust in the people they meet, but of course, life is not a movie. Thanks for posting.

Trinibaby, cool post I agree with you with the use of the word 'Love', people say they're in love so easy, like nothing : and after there are so many divorces to regret about, people should be more careful when the use the word 'Love'.

Lust and Love Difference

I think alot of confusion comes from movies when actors say I love you but it should really be I lust you. It also seems like kids at young ages are getting in relationships and trying to make a movie but it is just a waste of time and emotion and can lead to worse things. It seems like marrages are getting less and less meaningful and people get divorced when they get bored of their partner.

Difference Between Love & Lust

My answer is simple and easy....Love is good and lust is bad.  No exceptions....love is a good thing once your out of high school as well.

Mine thoughts are pretty much the same as you LDS. Love is something deeper, and not so superficial.

Here's a few of my ideas on love. Since it's a bit harder to determine what love is, most everyone knwos what lust is

This is something I've thoguht a lot about here is some of my thoughts on it:

First off I would like to start by quoting something

"Love is Patient, love is kind and is not jealous, love does not brag and is not arrogant does not act un becomingly; it does not seek it's own; is not provoked; does not take into account a wrong suffereed; does not rejoice in unrightousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all thing."

Ok now let me go into more detail as to what I just quoted and I'll throw in some of my own thoughts here and there

1.) Lets start off with the first part "Love is patient, love is kind and is not jelous; love does not brag and is not arrogant."
We can break this down even more, which I will do in a second, but first as a whole what do we see here? First we see what love is, then we see how to compare and judge what love is not.
lets break it down even more
a. "Love is patient" - Love is willing to wait, love is understanding and not quick to judge. Why is it that being patient could have anything to do with love? Well when we are patient we are abele to see what really happened and not snap at the very first assumption and make rash decissions. If you truely love someone you will be willing and able to be patient with, and for them. This could also be taken for sexual ideas. If you truely love someone, you will be willing to wait for them, and not share yourself with everyone along the way.
b. "Love is kind" - Love wants to be kind. Love is kind to the beloved, not just the lover. When we are kind, we want to love more love... is kind! Think about it for a second, if we are being kind to a person, we are takeing steps out and making a effort to see and help the good we see in a person. The more good we see in a person the more and easier it is to love a person. If we love someone we will want to be kind to the one we love, even through the hard times.
c. " and [love] is not jealous" - Love does not have to be jealous. Why? because love trusts! Jealousy is rooted in untrust and wanting what someone else has. When we really and honestly love someone we trust them fully with everything we have, and we have everything we want. Love can not be jealous because if we are being loved, we are giving everything we have and are not able to give something to others that we have not already given our lover. The "and" in this part plays a big role in the meaning of it. Not only is love kind, love is also not jealous of of acts of kindness. we have a tendency to get jealous when we see acts of kindness, especialy from the one we love directed towards others (someone else), but love is not this way, love trusts. So this "and" links the kind and the jealous for us so we can more easily make this connection. This is not to say that you will never get jealous, or untrusting of someone you love. That is a normal human tendancy. But if you truely love someone, there is nothing they can do to walk out from under that trust perminantly. There is another quote that says, "Perfect love casts out all fear." Which is so true, if you have perfect love for someone, there will be no fear of anything, them leaveing, them cheating, nothing. Though perfect love is something that is damn near impossible to achieve
d. "love does not brag" - Love does not need to brag, love is intimate. It is intedned to be between only the lover and the beloved, those two people, no more. This is not to say you can not talk about your loved one, it is simply saying that those really intimate, truely loving times, those are between two people, and love does not brag about those, love keeps the intimate, intimate. If we do start to brag we lose that intimacy, which in turn will lose love.
e. "and [love] is not arrogant" - Again we see the "and" and this time it also plays a big connecting role. When we brag we have a huge tendency to get arrogant. But we can also get arrogant even when we dont brag. Love is, and does, neither of these, love is not arrogant. If we get arrogant chances are we are thinking more of ourselves then the one we love. This is not how it should be, we should think more of the person we love then the one doing the loving(ourself).

here i promised lil bit more...

2.) one to the next section of this quote,
"[Love] does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered."
In a whole we start to see some of the things love doesnt do, so that we might avoid doing or thinking them. But we can also look at the flip-side of each of these things to see what love does do.
a."[love] does not act unbecommingly" - This is almost self explanitory. When you have true love for someone you aren't going to act, in love, unbecommingly of yourself. You will live up to what people should not do, think of you and expect from you. We also see that love does act becommingly of itself.
b. "[love] does not seek its own" - Love does not strive for itself, but instead it strives for the beloved, or one whom the love is given to. Love only seeks out the good of the beloved. It does not say "love most of the time does not seek its own." it says "love does not seek its own." Meaning it NEVER seeks its own. Love also does not cry out to be loved in return, love gives selfslessly without any need of anything in return. Of course it is nice to be loved back, but true love does not ask for this, it should be given without asking. Love gives love freely to the beloved, with out asking for love in return, although it does not reject love if it is given in return .

c. "[love] is not provoked" - Love can not be proked out of someone, love is a gift. Whether you would like to call it a gift from God or a gift from a higher power, or destiny. Love is a gift and can not be manufactured and provoked out of someone. We can recieve love freely and should give it just as freely without solicitation. We also see that all love is ordained by God, destiny, or "the higher power" wichever you chooose to believe, but I am going to use God for this speech. And we should shepard and take care of what God has ordained for our lives and the lives of the one we love.
d. "[love] does not take into account a wrong suffered" - This one is amazing, but truely hard to live by. Love does not remember wrongs suffered against itself. Amazing! Love does not hold grudges, love is willing to forgive and forget. Love freely gives grace and mercy where needed. This is of course not saying to be a pushover, but it is saying that we should not shun a person when a wrong is suffered, especialy if that person is the one we supposedly 'love'. If we choose not to forgive we build up walls around our hearts...these walls hold love in and keep love out. We need to forgive and forget so that these walls can also be taken down in our lives. From this section we also see that love works through things and does not quit when times get hard. Love is willing to work hard for the future and not just give up with things get a little rough. Love is willing to strive for the lover and beloved.

3.) Now on to our second to last part,
"[Love] does not rejoice in unrighousness, but rejoices with the truth."
in a whole we see what love does and doesnt rejoice in, this is helpful because we can see if it truely love or not by what types of things it is rejoiceing in.
a. "[love] does not rejoice in unrighteousness" - The first thing I see when I look at this is that love doesnt rejoice in this, duh. But if you look deeper notice it does not say love shuns everyone who does something unrighteous. Everyone will make mistakes and we shouldnt rejoice in those mistakes or failures but we also shouldnt shun those people for screwing up, everyone does it. When we rejoice in unrighteousness we are accepting it, which is something we should NOT do. Love is NOT unrighteous, therefore it cannot partake in unrighteous deeds and rejoice in them.
b. "But [love] rejoices with the truth." - So this is saying love does not rejoice in unrighteousness but it DOES rejoice with the truth. When we rejoice in the truth we are almost meditating in it. And the more we meditate and think about the truth the more disgusting lies look to us. Without truth love can not rejoice, since america for one, has drifted so far from truth, now thinking its ok to tell lies everywhere, its no wonder why its so hard to find people truely rejoicing with love. Because love cannot rejoice without truth.

4.) Our final, but certainly not least part,
"Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
in a whole this is just telling you some of the things love will come with, but it is also taking a stab at some of the things that will happen while love is present.
a. "[love] Bears all things" - Love is able to withstand whatever comes its way. We are going to see these 4 things say almost the same thing. But it is important to emphasize them by saying them over and over. Love will go through some things that need to be bore but if it is love it will withstand the test and bear it. Without complaining, it will lean on the lover or beloved for support. Love bears all things.
