Of Love and Lust
Love can sneak up and take us by surprise at any encounter
with another person. It is basic human nature when hormones start surging. If
both individuals are adult, single, and willing you can let passion can take
control. The same feelings are true for lust and the two are closely related.
There are a great many people who sadly can not tell the difference.
Those who are married, in a committed relationship or under
vows of celibacy need to be able to tell the difference and have the self
discipline to control both. With lust you can let the moment pass and as soon
as the object of lust is out of sight the energy is gone. Love on the other
hand is much more difficult to deal with and takes more awareness. Love lingers
in the heart and mind for a long long time.
Love is a good emotion and can be very healthy if dealt with
appropriately. You can love a great many people with good boundaries for the
expression of that love. The love of a good friend does not need to lead to sex
nor interfere with a comment. Awareness, self-discipline, and honesty about
your feelings will make the difference.
