<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The world
today is so full of life, which really makes it impossible for people to dream
of dying soon. The fact is that technology has made living much easier and now
even the poor are partakers of it today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sometimes I
wonder why our desire over something or someone fades away. But I have some
question to ask. Do you really know the definition of your relationship? And what
is it built on? Is it on LOVE or LUST?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">A lot of
Writers, Authors, Philosophers, Relationship-Counsellor and even You, have in
one way or the other defined love. But the problem is that most of us today
confuse Lust for Love. Are you one of them?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">However,
this particular concept is practiced by most of us teenagers especially within
the age range of 15-29 years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What is
love? Love means “sacrifice”. Some people said it is “tolerance” while some said
it is “Endurance”. To me personally, I
define love as an innocent internal feeling that you have towards someone or
something (It might be your work, profession or even career)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

this, which of them do you think is best? If none, then what is your own
definition of Love?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Most of our
relationships today are in trouble because it is built on Lust not Love.
Naturally, Lust last for a while, but Love last forever.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What is
lust? Lust is a criminal desire. Some said is an erotic urge towards someone. I
personally define lust as a dirty internal feeling, which you have towards
someone or something. This particular desire has eating up the mind of most of
us today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The world
today practices more of Lust than love. Many marriages today last for a while,
and I keep asking myself why will two lovely couple end such a beautiful union
at such an early stage? It is crystal
clear that such a relationship is built on lust, which I initially said last’s
for a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, you can
really know what you feel for someone with my little idea. When you find
yourself in a situation where your mind is arrested by a particular person,
then you have to know that you are now having a particular feeling for the
person.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
