to love...to live....to lust....

Love: An unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another
To love: To be unselfish and benevolent to another. To love is to sacrifice. To give without asking for anything in return. How many among us can truly do that? Could you? Could I?

My answer, is a definite NO.

To live, to be alive: have the life of an animal or plant. Well, we all have that. But is that all there is to living? Or is there something more?

Would living three quarters of your life at work be considered being alive?Some would say yes,some would say no.

And last but certainly not least,lust. An intense longing. Three things that we all feel. Three things we all experience. To give love: with the giving comes lust;the wish that that love, be returned. The wish that something be given. Once both is given, THEN does one truly feel alive. We search for someone to share in the loving. The longing. And the living.

We are drifters seeking solace from the sea from amongst other drifters. Friends, family or lovers,anyone who understands our predicament as well as we do. Some of us find someone. Some of us dont. With each choice we take, with each bridge we build, we give a meaning to our lives. One that makes it more than just a normal existance.

But for how long does it last? A year or two? Some of us manage to make it last a little longer...Then... It all begins to slow down to a crawl. The loving begins to become more muddled. Afterwards becoming less noticable. And the lusting begins to grow

Where once was more love, now exists a carpet of greediness and want. How many tales of such things have we all seen? But most of these stories end in happiness. Is that how it all goes in real life? Does it all end good?

Does love conquer lust? Can we overcome our own greedy emotions with love?

can we?......
