YAY FOR FRUIT PIE JONES! I could not have put it better myself.

Love is not just about the fuzzy feelings you get when you are around him or her it is part of it but not even close to all of it.
I think that the Bible (don't snarl!) puts it best in 1 Corinthians 13 v 4 to 8 - New Living translation...

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. Love will last forever...

This is not a law given to us but a measuring stick by which we can judge our love on. If you are prepared to apply all these things to the way you relate to another person then you will know that the love is real and true. Anything less than this is not love but part of it.

This brings me to lust vs love... Simply put - love requires a commitment to the other person for life. This commitment then allows for comfort (read sexual pleasure) to be shared between the two parties. This is great as there is emotional, physical and spiritual protection around the relationship. However lust = comfort without commitment and just leads to emotional draining, ruined lives and a trail of broken hearts.

OK - Schools out! :bye:
