I hear people say all the time that "you are lusting,not loving".Well,lust is a part of love.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lust
So why make it two separate things when it is part of the same?I can not look at someone and admire them without the degree of love I carry for all of humanity.So in all actuality,lust is non-existant in my life.If a person has love in their heart for humanity,then how can lust ever exist?

How can pleasure,joy,desire and wish not be included in any way in love?
You HAVE to have at least one to have love...

Lust is wanting someone sexually only.
Love is wanting someone to spend the rest of your life with.
It is wonderful when the person you love and who loves you back lusts for you and you for him or her.

Lust actually means that you're beginning to fall in love with a person while Love means you're in love. There is a difference although the two are so similar.
Lust is just something to begin with.

Lust, as an emotion can be exclusive of love. On the other hand, love can be devoid of lust too, but love per se is rather more accommodating of emotions including lust at times. So we can neither for sure say that love and lust are mutually exclusive, nor can we say that they go hand in hand.

The link you have given says-
Lust f (plural Lüste)
pleasure, joy.
desire, wish.
Retrieved from "http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Lust"
It doesn't mention lust being part of love.
In love one makes sacrifice & wants to give. Lust is a strong desire to get, not to give.
One may rape due to lust, not when in love with someone.
They are two different things.

"Strong desire, especially of a sexual nature. "
Looks like the definition mentions sex to me...
Seems a lot of people have it right, lust is wanting to have a sexual relation, while love is wanting to spend your life with a person

I think people make it into two different things because they can't or don't want to grasp the idea that they might love everybody. Lust will continue to exist-in theory- as long as people deny their love for everything and everybody

lust comes in when you want to have the other person just fulfil ones desire. for instance a man would want to sleep with a woman just to quench his sexual thirst; but he is never committed to have the woman for the rest of his life. that is lust. on the other hand love is when you want to be wiht each other not necessarily for sex but for mutual companionship-to help one another in every day life, pray for each other, take responsiblities of each other,emotional support, spiritual support etc. so lust and love cannot be one and the same.
however lust can resort to love if the lusting person is transformed but love can never be lust.

Lust is the desire to have physical sexual relations. Love is the desire to be with someone whether you have physical sexual relations with them or not. They are NOT the same.

Your question confuses me so I'm going to put it like this: I wana screw my roomates brains out, but I hate him, see there it is no love just lust, he's hot, but there could never be any kind of loving relationship.
