The aspects of morality and how it can draw a thin line between love and lies, is the biggest concern and problem people have when it comes with dealing with relationships.
In order to understand these relationships we first have to ask well “what is love?” (David Velleman) Is it blinding for someone to catch at first site, or is it a feeling so deep it can make you feel good at times, but sometimes love can have you feeling worst within a blink of an eye. No matter how big love is it’s the way you approach it and the many shape and forms it comes in. sometime love is so strong it can make the biggest person feel so weak in a matter of seconds. Maybe love is so small it can have others fooled by the capacity of that one feeling in a matter of minutes. But sometimes at the end of it all you realize that what you thought was love can sometimes get confuse with a temporary feeling known as lust.
Lust can be as powerful as an earthquake but as quick as a hiccup. Lust can be a confusing hormone because sometimes you don’t have a clue why you are feeling such a sensation. ”Mathilda love for the priest has kept her from consummating her marri...

In Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet the two “so called lovers” are having their lust being mistaken for true love. While critics of the argument will argue that “the couple wouldn't have killed themselves if they were only in lust” the fact of the matter is that they met each other purely on the basis of looks. The first example of the couple’s lust emerges when Romeo sneaks into the Capulet’s party. Just hours after loving Rosaline, Romeo spots a new girl. He then turns to a servant and asks who the girl is,“Oh, doth teach the torches to burn bright! It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night like a rich jewel in Ethiop's ear” (1.5.42-44). This demonstrates
...fects. No matter where there is love involved or not, the two people will engage in some sort of emotions whether they want to or not. The narrator shows this throughout the story. At first it was all happy and she seemed proud that she was going and sleeping with all of the different boys. As her high school life went on though, she started showing regret in almost every encounter she had, even the one boy that she actually had feelings for ended in a shameful feeling. He just left afterwards and so she just sat there waiting for him to come back (Minot 102). No matter how badly the two parties involved want there to be no strings attached and to just have a simple hook up, someone is going to get emotionally attached. In the time period of this story, the one that got emotionally caught was usually the woman and the narrator of “Lust” shows that almost flawlessly.
Lust is an incredibly strong feeling that can prove to be almost uncontrollable, leading it to commonly be mistaken for love. Due to the relative closeness of these emotions, both are often confused, and even when one is in love he or she does not recognize it. Many think that love just comes knocking on one's door and one will know when it does, but they don't realize that for love to occur a relationship has must be worked out. Love is described by some as fireworks, tingles, and butterflies in the stomach; but it is lust that can cause these things to happen, and it is these that mark only the beginning of a relationship. After a while, these feelings die out, and this is when the honeymoon period is over; it is from this point on that the relationship will either end or get stronger and eventually lead to true love.
relationships in today’s society are also torn apart by lust and jealousy just like John and
Love and infatuation are both strong emotions that most will encounter within their lifetime. The two feelings are often misunderstood, but are differentiated through their outcomes and stability. True love does not only rely on physical attraction, but also on one’s personality. When one is truly in love, they accept their partner’s flaws and perfections. There is a connection between two people, in which they can make compromises and smart decisions. The love grows stronger with time and is not instant. On the other hand, infatuation occurs almost instantaneously and progresses quickly. Infatuation relies on lust and physical attraction. It can cause an individual to
“The phenomenon relies on trust, belief, pleasure, and reward activities within the brain” (Esch.176) When one spends time with a person they love, they build trust and from that positive signals about the other person are sent to the brain. This can be an inhibiting factor when one discovers bad news about their partner. There is a blind spot that stops the person from seeing the bad in the other, even when those around can clearly see the truth. Considering this, what exactly is love? “ Attachment, commitment, intimacy, passion, grief upon separation and jealous are a few terms to explain what love represents” (Esch .176) The bond between lovers leads to all these traits; once you become committed to someone you have invest tremendous emotional energy that at times can enhance your judgment. For example, the song “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis is a perfect representation of being so in love with someone that even when you are knocked down and bleeding you still want to be with them. She starts of by singing “Closed off from love, I didn’t need the pain”, and then continues to sing, “But something happened for the very first time with you, my heart melted to the ground, found something true and everyone’s looking round thinking I’m going crazy”. The part about everyone going crazy applies to the question, is love an enhancer or inhibitor of judgment? It reflects how intense love can inhibit judgment. In
Love is said to be one of the most desired things in life. People long for it, search for it, and crave it. It can come in the form of partners, friends, or just simply family. To some, love is something of a necessity in life, where some would rather turn a cold shoulder to it. Love can be the mixture of passion, need, lust, loyalty, and blood. Love can be extraordinary and breathtaking. Love being held so high can also be dangerous. Love can drive people to numerous mad things with it dangerously so full of craze and passion.
Some people get the word love mixed up with lust. People do this because they tend to forget that when in love, sex is never a necessity but an accessory to the feeling. Lust and love have so many differences it is considered ridiculous. Some people say that they love someone just to get the physical action that is so commonly wanted but never really needed. Lust is something that is completely physical, while love is the complete opposite. Love is a feeling so euphoric that everything, but at the same time nothing m...
is simply unrealistic. The word “love” can be used to describe relationships where there is a
No truer words have ever been spoken when it comes to relationships between man and woman. For when a man and a woman come together for a relationship it should be for the right reason, and that reason is love. Love is much more than just a word though, it is a feeling and emotion that cannot be duplicated, imitated, or simulated. Love is, as described in "If Thou Must Love Me, Let it be for Naught", "To His Lady", and "The Taxi", the emotions of joy, happiness, caring, passion, commitment, pleasure, and even pain all rolled into one, which is shared between two people.
Love, the single feeling that generates the funny sentiments in our stomach, giving us the warm pleasures in our body, causing us to feel joy, and to believe every aspect in our life will constantly go right. In addition, causing us to receive an accelerating, appealing feeling that makes us want to rejoice. Love can be a speeding of your heart, but it can also be nerve-racking. Our hearts rapidly begin to pump, making a rapid beat— “ba-boom, ba-boom, ba-boom”. Attempting to describe love is a rigorous task, but it is possible. However, the easiest detail to describe and understand about love is the concept of what it is about. Many people may obtain different views and definitions regarding love, but their ideas tend to unite at some point.
Love. Everyone is familiar with that four-letter word, but do they actually know what it means? What is love exactly? Is love being with someone you care about the most? Or is liking something way more than you do? It is astounding to think that this four letter word could mean so much in many different ways and how it could affect your (or another person’s) life. Everyone has their own view on love. Whether it is a positive view or a negative one, somehow, love always finds a way to end up in a person’s life, even if they aren’t looking for it.
When most people think of love they mentally picture Cinderella and her Prince Charming happily dancing off into the sunset. They think of Noah reading his documented love story to dementia riddled Allie in attempt to make her remember him. They picture Michelle Tanner and Uncle Jesse solving the world’s problems with nothing but a ‘you got it, Dude’. People associate love with happiness, but love is also pain. Picture Ronnie as she clings to her cancer-stricken father who was once her closest friend. Love can bring people together, but it can also tear them apart. Love is defined as “strong affection for another” but love is so much more (Love 1). Love cannot be simply defined as affection because it does not
What is love? Love is a very special and meaningful word to each human being. Each human being has his/her own thoughts about love to guide himself/herself to land safely and smoothly into the kingdom of Love. Without this preconceived idea of love, people would be acting like a blind person searching for the light with thousand of obstacles in front of him.
