It also doesn't help that the media portrays love as lust. The media doesn't portray love because "love" doesn't sell. Love is boring while lust is full of drama and excitement. After lust is over the cameras stop rolling. The story isn't interesting anymore. Am I the only one that finds this wrong?
What do you think love is? What is the difference between love and lust?
I'll leave you with this quote...
"It is clear that we must embrace struggle. Every living thing
conforms to it. Everything in nature grows and struggles in its
own way, establishing its own identity, insisting on it at all cost,
against all resistance. We can be sure of very little, but the
need to court struggle is a surety that will not leave us. It is
good to be lonely, for being alone is not easy. The fact that
something is difficult must be one more reason to do it. To love
is also good, for love is difficult. For one human being to love
another is perhaps the most difficult task of all, the epitome, the
ultimate test. It is that striving for which all other striving
is merely preparation. For that reason young people -- who are
beginners in everything -- cannot yet love; they do not know how to
love. They must learn it."
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875 - 1926)
