Deep Thought: Lust

This is just a usual thought, but think about what lust is. You want a person so much that nothing else matters. We all know that. But I feel that we can identify lust as a watered down love. Think about how you know about lust. The strong urge to just take a person and get primal, to be frank. You usually see someone and say damn he/she's fine" and want to be with that person hot and sweaty in a motel room. Your brain sees the person, sends a positive impulse then stops and blocks out the rest. You see, like and that's all you care about. Now follow me here. Think to the last time you lusted. Something about that person had to stick out, usually the physical features. But is it possible to be lustful of someones personality? Is there a way not care about how someone looks, but an action they just did made you wanna just go at it? If not then what makes lust what it is? As far as I understand to lust is wanting something intensely. Most times you see someone and want their body, but could you see someone and want their brain, or heart? I think but can, but only in context. I think it's possible to lust someone at sight, but by hearsay it may be possible. if I were to tell you about someone and their personality just lit you up, I think that'd be lust of the non physical persuasion. Some people wold say it's just a crush or love thru attraction. Since Love is categorized as having a high overall Attraction to someone or thing, Lust can be categorized as a large difference between the physical and emotional attraction, and either can be the better. Think about it logically. When you see that girl/guy in the club, all you see is her figure, or face. You don't care about her pet peeves or life goals. So you're physical slider would be in the positive, and emotional would be neutral, thus having a large enough difference to be categorized as lust. Like wise if all a friend tells you about a person is how caring, honest and such person is you'll have a positive emotional attraction, but a neutral physical as you have nothing to base on. now that the differences between lust and love have been explored, I feel that we as humans should try to re-evaluate our relationships to try to remove as much lust as possible, and try to balance out the sliders to make friends, significant others or whatever it is you decide.

I agree partially. Actions someone does could incite lust. Even pieces of music themselves can be lusted after, not even thought as connection to the musician (ex: drumline captain upon hearing our new cadence- "If that beat were a woman, I'd totally fuck her.")I think it seems to be crawling closer to the border of emotional attraction when you mention qualities like honesty and care. That's more like the way the person you love does something that makes you crazy happy. I also vote keeping lust, because it keeps the passion in relationships, plus it saves people from pain. If someone lusts after another, it can go away easily and painlessly. Love can be better or kill hardcore. I'm not sure if this was all coherent because I don't read over comments before sending them. Teehee.
