where's the line between love and lust?

Question

and whose right is it to decide which is which?

Answer 1

Now is lust.. Forever is love..Only you can define which you are in,if you know your heart

Answer 2

Love is continuously, Lust is over night. Love is after a pair dates and he tries to get some and you tell him your no longer waiting, He knows and drops the project. Lust you're saying you no longer waiting, he will ask nicely once you think of your going to be waiting? or you already know your lacking out on something specific.OR toddler you already know you particularly need it, so why you playing like this. understand-how is the foremost. If he knows and cares for you emotions it particularly is Love, If he would not comprehend and pushes the project it particularly is lust, reason if he gets it, hes scored and now to the subsequent mark.

Answer 3

the way I understand it the Greek meaning for love is Eros, or surface love, which ends up being in temptation, the Hebrew Agape love is from the Creator which is undying love, seeing through the flesh to the being, the character of the person. forgiving the flaws imperfections , they have, attractiveness has a lot to do with it too, but that can be slammed out of the picture when there's really no love there in the first place and you don't get along

Answer 4

I see two differences :

1. Love = long term, Lust = short term
2. Love = emotional plus physical, Lust = only physical

Of course there is a grey area, but I guess we have to live with that :)

Answer 5

THERE'S A THIN LINE BETWEEN THE TWO AS THEY ARE BOTH CONTROLLED BY THE "HYPOTHALAMUS"...YOU GOT TO BE STRONG-WILLED TO CONTROL OR CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO...

The hypothalamus (from Greek ὑποθαλαμος = under the thalamus) is a region of the mammalian brain located below the thalamus, forming the major portion of the ventral region of the diencephalon and functioning to regulate certain metabolic processes and other autonomic activities. The hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, also known as the "master gland," by synthesizing and secreting neurohormones, often called releasing hormones, as needed that control the secretion of hormones from the anterior pituitary gland — among them, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). The neurons that se Coty MP crete GnRH are linked to the limbic system, which is primarily involved in the control of emotions and sexual activity. The hypothalamus also controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, and circadian cycles.

Answer 6

the line needs to be drawn right away, if you know you only wanna be with someone for one thing which is sex you just got lust and playing with fire, love though is a different thing if you can be with the same person every single day and not always focusing on their sex appeal you know when to draw the line

Answer 7

Lust is a physiological attraction, love is a romantic, emotional connection. No-one decides this. It is fact.

Answer 8

Love is when the lust is convenient enough for both people to continue it in a longer term. I don't actually believe theres a such thing as true love.

Answer 9

If you think you love someone, try not sl;eeping with them. If your relationship survives the frustration, its love if not its lust. My granny usta say " the line between love and lust is drawn just above the belt."

Answer 10

My own personal opinion:

Lust is strictly about the bodies
Love includes everything; body, heart, and mind.

But in the end, the only people who have the right to decide are the people involved in the relationship. (Or at least, that's the way it should be.)
