Fact from fiction, truth from diction. It should be very easy for one to see clearly the differences between love and lust but as toadstools are to mushrooms you have to have a keen eye to know the difference.

Lust > You avoid ever moving your furniture in and seek to move as soon as you get bored.
Love > Each day you want to do for your spouse to make their day better than yesterday without caring about any quit pro quo.
Lust > Your affection comes from the hope of getting a reward.

If people want to know TRUE love they have to look no further than the Late Dana Reeves. When her husband (the late Christopher Reeves) was paralyzed early in their marriage she could have chose to bail, look after herself and her own happiness. She stuck by his side no matter how rough or what she had to give up, and she never stopped loving him as if he wasn’t Superman. THAT is the difference between love and lust.
