If love is blind does that mean lust is just short-sighted?

Love and lust are abstracts, meaning they are ideas and can differ from person to person. Below, is some of what the two mean to me:\n\nlust, is desire, hunger, wanting needing, even if that is wanting and needing to bring another pleasure because it brings the self pleasure, it is focus on ones own desire. \nlove focuses on one another. I say one another, because for me, one needs to have a view of their wants as well as the wants of the other because if they other loves back, then denying yourself could hurt the other, when one is only focused on being selfless, they can forget that the other might need them to not completely neglect themself, but if there is a healthy balance, then i think a healthy love can bloom. \n\nwow, i'm wondering if that even makes sense...\n\nBasically, i've known people who try to be completely selfless, and in doing so, they neglect the need of their lover who needs them to be emotionally healthy happy too, but they get so focused on being selfless, that they deny their love the security of knowing that their lovers lover is going to be healthy, happy, satisfied.\n\ni look forward to a delicious mix of the two :D\n\nhow do you tell them apart? what are their definitions to you? where do they differ in your own mind? finding those points of difference could help you tell one from the other, if for you there are differing aspects within your own mind.

I agree with tempted and I would add that you should concentrate more on how you feel than how others might upon seeing you.\n\nRemember that true love is blind, which really just means that it is unconditional. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder and the only eye that counts is the one in YOUR head.\n\nAny onlookers don't know the real him or the real you and if they judge you on appearances negatively then they are shallow people not worth worrying about. Most people are gonna look at you, see your love and affection for one another and be either charmed by it or jealous that they don't have it themselves.\n\nCongratulations on finding the right man!

love is a strong word and for some sad reason the meaning that it once held is fading away but feelings tend to lie i guess thats why they say love is blinding. its like getting drunk u cant feel anythin at that moment but when u wake up u feel everything

Than that would be lust.. not love. To fall in love usually you at least need to speak with the person, unless they are a deaf-mute.

It is blind. It usually takes ages to find pitfalls of your lover. which you usually see so easily on people you are not in love with.

Sometimes the people who care about you can see things you're too blinded by love (or lust) to see. Listen to their objections, and carefully examine each one. If I'd done the same, I wouldn't have ended up fighting for my life after a gunshot wound from a man I loved so much, but everyone else hated. They were right.

Obviously love is blind , \n And when your blindfolded through love your soul have to follow concequess of love and not your disire anymore\n Also ,can't figure out the situation as always you want things to happen\n  Thus why love is blind

Lust is part of love but love is not part of lust...\n\nLust can happen all on its own (just for sex), or it can happen as part of the love and passion that two people feel for each other when they're in love.\n\nLove and lust are not completely separate things, but the way they combine - and can be confused with each other - can be very complicated!

Love is true.\n\nThat being said, let me explain...wait, let me summarize.\n\nThe problem is, people confuse infatuation and/or lust for love. That giddy, fast heartbeat, almost obsession with a person, that is infatuation. When you just *want* someone, that is lust. Infatuation is a combo of liking someone, lust, and a few other chemical responses. Most people think this is "love", but the problem with infatuation is, after out three months, it goes away.\n\nWhen it goes away, if there really isn't anything else there in the way of feelings for a person, then there is nothing left, and people think they ar "fell out of love".\n\nTrue love, sometimes starts with that giddy rush of infatuation, but afterwords, but it's the feeling that stays afterwords. It's a deeper, less giddy feeling. Part friendship, part liking to be with someone, part lust (there should always be lust, rowr), but also a deeper feeling of being happy to be around a person. With my Love, I feel, complete, total, I understood the poets, when they say some souls are divided, and we spend our lives looking for our other half.\n\njust my spin. Love is out there. It may not be that you don't feel it, it might just not be what you are expecting it to be, not a mad giddy infatuation, but something a bit more subtle, but lasting.\n\nLove shall be the whole of the law.

No, love is not blind -- it's deceptive.

I would agree that appearance has nothing to do with love if we lived on Perfect Island where the birds bring you Mai Tai's on the beach and the skies are not cloudy all day... truth is, most of what we, as a society, consider love... is actually fleeting lust (reference: 2004 divorce rates) which has everything to do with appearance.  LOVE?  No, appearance doesn't affect it... just, and I mean this sincerely, good luck finding it.

There is no Love, at first sight! There is Lust, at first sight! Love is something that comes with time!

That look in his eyes like if he can't have you right this minute he's going to die.... To feel like he can't breath without you... LUST helps to. I don't think you can have love with out lust.
