My take on:
LOVE VS. LUST
Infatuation can be fun...for a while. But it wears off quickly, especially when reality doesn't cooperate with the fairy tale imagery. Meanwhile, physical attraction, while important, is based on appearance and pheromones, which last just about long enough to satisfy the biological urge to procreate. It's fun, and it's intense, but it's fleeting. I suspect this accounts in part for the alarming divorce rate...that and the fact that people seem to have more of a tendency to cut and run at the first sign of difficulty.
Love, on the other hand, is much more mature and abiding. It's not hysterical, possessive, dramatic...but it stays. It's not so much a "feeling" as it is a state of consciousness. Being aware of each other's needs, accommodating when possible, and understanding when not. I think it has more to do with a deeper understanding between two individuals. And I believe it's more spiritual than biological. Infatuated couples CAN'T let go for any reason or length of time. Couples who truly love, can...because both know they're never truly apart.
With infatuation, it's longing, desire, and impatience.
With love, it's trust, understanding and peace. Give and Take.
Thats just my take on it...lol
What do you all think?
