The thin line between love and lust
May 21, 2005 by Andy Merrett
You meet a drop-dead gorgeous man.
He is the best thing that has happened to you in a long time and you can’t help but think about him all day: his smile, his eyes, his great body. You feel head over heels in love, or, perhaps, it is lust. What difference does it make, anyway?
According to counsellor and relationship expert Rose Gitu, there is a huge difference. “Love and lust are exactly opposite and they are in conflict with one another. Love honours, values and cares for the other person, with selflessness and commitment as its proof, therefore, love is a relationship,” she says.
Lust, on the other hand, selfishly aims to satisfy a person’s needs and desires without respecting or caring about the other person, avoiding any form of commitment.”
