Love and Lust:Different but generally Inseparable.

Many a times,I come across topics in magazines,news papers as well as TV shows,which focus on the basic differences between Love and Lust.However,after point wise stating of differences between love and lust, often a question is asked:
Love or Lust??

In Google itself.if you type the search criteria as Love or Lust,thousands of wallpapers,will instantly be displayed.Many people believe Lust to be a vulgar thing,and also conclude the fact that relationships based on Lust,have no significance,and people involving in such relationships have no moral values.Hence,in the long run,it's only Love that counts,while Lust is always said to be the dark side,that makes a relationship vulgar.

Well,if that is the case,then in contrast to all these shitty facts and conclusions,I have a few questions:
1)Whys is then the term "Sex" said to be Divine?
2)Why is sex the only way that facilitates growth of generations?
3)Why has god made sex widely spread across all living things in this world?

Among people who conclude facts as stated like above,no one has an answer to these questions.So,clearly the time has arrived,when we should stop concluding and start thinking.

Let us take a simple example of a coin.The two sides of a coin are always different from each other,and they can never even be alike.But,can a coin be made meaningful without it's two sides? Does a such type of coin even exist?
The answer is plainly "No".
Similarly,in a relationship Love and Lust are just like the two parts of it,which are different from each other,but which can never be separated from each other.Love and Lust together forms a complete relationship. A relationship can never be based on only Love or Lust.Both are necessary for it.A relationship based on just any one of them,cannot be a long lasting complete relationship.It's Infatuation(Both Physical and Mental) that can be based on either Love or Lust.

Imagine,some one having beautiful bollywood actress Yami Gautam,as his girlfriend.Well,what would he do then?
Most will reply that the relationship will completely be based on love,and in case of Sultry actress Mallika Sherawat,it is completely Lust,right?

Absolute bullshit!!

Remember,what they do on screen,is just a world of fantasy,a part of their profession.It depends on the mind set of audience,whether it is good or bad.
However,in real life,one needs to think rationally.No girl or boy can be differentiated according to their looks,skin colour or physique. Pre concept is a dangerous thing. In reality,it's more or less same,i.e. a balance between Love and Lust.

When two people are in a relation,they will have physical desires for each other.May be not at the same time, but they will definitely have.That's not at all wrong or vulgar.In fact,that's quite general and normal.
It s kiddish and immature,to think that only love can form a relationship.

Cougars,one night stands,sexual encounters,are all momentary events,that take place in some people's life.But,that is not included in any kind of relation and can never be treated as one.A relation is somewhat permanent is a person's life,while none of the above are.

Thus,it is predictable,that Love and Lust form a complete relationship.They are different from each other,can never be same,but together running parallel ,can only form a perfect relationship.
So,many people with old aged thinking really need to nurture their thoughts,and think rationally.Only then will they get an answer to this ever controversial questionable fact.


A relation needs trust,mutual understanding,communication,interaction,physical desires as well as sex to survive.In absence,of any of these a relation fails.So,no one can select any one between them and both are equally necessary for all.

  1. i have a subtle different opinion on the subject...as per the dictionary definition on lust means--"Having strong sexual desires" well there's nothing if it's concentrated to one's partner only...but the real meaning of lust has deteriorated over the years and yes oxford also claims the same...today when we use the word Lust it's meant for someone other then one's partner...and when we talk about lust for someone other than one's partner...it can never be treated as divine...and the words like Trust,mutual understanding and things like this cannot be used when we use the word lust...

    And to differentiate love and lust scholars...have rightly said...when one is having a strong urge of sexual desires...towards one's one partner it's a part of love a part of expansion of generation...and it's not equated to lust at all...!!!

    i hope i have cleared my views
