"Love, Lust and Desires: The Realities of Human Emotions"
<div class="text-justify">


Love, lust and desire. All three are powerful human emotions that can be felt for different reasons and in varying degrees. Love is an emotion of deep affection, while lust is a strong physical or sexual desire. Desire, on the other hand, can refer to an emotion or a strong craving for something.

 Honestly, since I saw the posting topic in the weekend experience community, I have been thinking of a way to summarize my thoughts on the topic. In order to make things easier, I will share my thoughts separately and then differentiate them. 

Each weekend, @galenkp posts different topic prompts in the community, and interested writers write their opinions. I will do that in this post and I hope you find something meaningful.

### What is love?

A lot of people describe love as several things they know based on their life experiences. Some say love is blind, love is beautiful, love cares, love forgives even when hurt, love is patient, kind and many more. 

Initially, my mind focused on love between couples when I thought of love. However, a few seconds later I realised that love has an origin and that's God.

I'm certain you have heard something like this: God is Love. If you don't have God, you don't have Love in your heart. This is because love is something that is more than just an emotion - it is a state of being. To truly love someone, one has to have a selfless and unconditional attitude, which is something that comes from the divine. Without a connection to God, it is difficult to experience true love.

 I'm not trying to sound religious here, but I am trying to make a point based on how I feel.

Every being on earth was created by that one supreme being, in his image and likeness. At some point, his creations did things they shouldn't have done. Instead of making them all perish, he sent a Messiah to the world. This Messiah was his only begotten, but he came and died for humanity. His blood was used to wash our sins away. Such sacrifice and unconditional love have not been seen since that time. Am I wrong?

That brings me to my first point. Love sacrifices for others' good. Remember a sacrifice is something that pains you to give up, but you do it to save the majority. Love often requires us to put the needs of others before our own and to make difficult decisions with their best interests in mind. For example, sacrificing our own comfort or desires for the sake of those we love can be an act of true love.

Imagine a mother who finds her son in the middle of a major road, even though we don't wish to find ourselves there. Maybe she wasn't watching and the child made his way to a main road. 

Do you think the mother of that child will care about her life at that moment? 

Not all mothers love their children as much as they should. However, some will not care for their lives at that time. Their only concern is rescuing their son from the major road.

 The Lord said in the scriptures that his thoughts for us are good and not evil, so we may have an expected outcome. My point here is that love cares. Love always wants the best for you in difficult and good times.

### What is LUST?

After a few words about love, I can now say that lust is the opposite of love. That's one difference. Lust is selfish and only cares about its own desires. +Lust is fleeting and often fades quickly, while love is enduring. +Love is selfless and often puts the needs of another before its own. +Love is what sustains relationships, while lust is only a temporary spark.

Imagine the story about my fiance I shared last week. Barely two months after I left, he claimed to have been heartbroken until he met the girl he impregnated. Due to the fact that he claims the girl set him up, and he denies fathering the child, there has been controversy surrounding that incident.

He has implied that the girl must have known she was pregnant before he met her. Also, she must have decided to put it on him probably because of how much he spent on her at that time. The story sounds like cock and bull to me, though.

I am sure that when he met her, he must have thought it was love, but it clearly wasn't as it was only temporary. And now it has made him miserable.

### What is Desire?

In my opinion, desire is that longing feeling of wanting something you don't have. It is a powerful emotion that motivates us to pursue our goals and live the life we desire.

For instance, I long for a job outside the country and leave with my son. This desire has motivated me to take steps like getting an international passport and enrolling in a course that would grant me a certificate that I would use in getting that job. I am investing a lot of time and effort into making this dream a reality. I believe that with hard work and determination, I can make this dream come true. I am confident that I have what it takes to succeed in this endeavour.
