Love vs Lust

Many people say they are in love. Are they?.. Or it is just a lust.First of all we need to define love and lust. "Love is the most ennobling of human emotions -- transcendental, exalted and capable of engendering emotional states", while for men, lust is a heady experience; the brain goes on hold and red-hot surges of testosterone run the show. Lust -- like love -- is truly blind. This is why, especially at the beginning of a relationship, it can be hard to tell whether you're in lust or love; whether she may be "The One," or merely a passing fancy who'll have your blood boiling for only a short while.

In conclusion, love and lust are inextricably intertwined. Lust is ground zero for hormones -- it's nature's way of bringing the opposite sexes together to mate. In fact, without lust, it's doubtful that love between a man and a woman would have a chance to prosper at all.
