Gotta Love Interns
First lets identify love and lust. Lust, is the desire to have someone sexually, or to a lesser degree physically, and also the easiest to spot. Love, is the feeling attributed to someone that either shares your own values or contrasts those values enough to round out your own personality. Taking each of these a bit further....
On the topic of Lust, which you desire a person to be yours and yours alone, is traditionally the most dominant feeling everyone has. This Lust also only fulfills one aspect of your needs... meaning if lust is all you have towards a person you will never be satisfied due to the lack of the mental connection. This is also the desire that almost everyone falls trap to first.
Love, on the other hand is completely opposite. You love someone so much because of who and what they are, but somehow yet, still not physically attracted or satisfied by them. This part still can be confused to an extent with lust, but the scope of the situation will, in reality, determine whether it is true love or true lust.
Which brings us to passion. It is my own belief that love and lust cannot coincide with one another on its own. To have both in the same feelings toward another person it is bridged by passion. Passion being the emotional intesity of how you feel towards an individual. This passion part is very precarious, in the fact that its foundations have to be extremely strong, but yet also to have sufficient emotional traffic for it to work. For example in my bridge analogy, if the passion is too much for the foundations of love and lust it will crumble. Likewise, if the foundation is too strong in relation to the passion, it will be a bridge that no one travels.
And all of thus, means that finding that person that balances your level of love and lust, and has the same emotional engineer as you do, that the Passion Bridge will succeed. The key to all of this, is finding that person... there are many out there whose emotional engineers seem to get caught up in the politics of Love and Lust, while preaching the Passion Bridge, so absolutely nothing gets accomplished.
As we all know.... the construction of things in the real world takes time and patience. So the same is said for our own emotional Passion Bridge... don't rush it, but take the time to lay a good solid foundation, as well as making sure the bridge itself will be in constant use.
