WHEN DO WE KNOW IT IS LOVE OR LUST?

Love or Lust
Which one is it?
Which brings euphoria, which brings tears?
Which brings joy, which brings pain?
Which is real, which is make-believed?
Which is true, which is false?
So many questions, so many doubts,
no wonder love is a complicated thing.

Love begins with a physical attraction, there is no doubt about it. From the time we set eyes on the person, something tells us there must be something wonderful about this person worth pursuing. Is this lust or love? Will there come a time when lust transcend to love? How do we know that?

There are so many categories of love:
TRUE LOVE
CONDITIONAL LOVE
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
ONE SIDED LOVE
PUPPY LOVE
CRUSHES
PHYSCIAL LOVE
FOOLISH LOVE

How do we know which group we fall under? Must lust and love co-exist? Can love exist without any physical attraction?

All men should striveto learn before they diewhat they are running from, and to, and why.~James Thurber
