We often heard people say "Love is blind" or "Love is a Drug" but the interesting thing is the same saying can be applied for Lust too. If it is true that extreme love forces us to ignore all the negative and flawed aspects of our partner, the same thing happens with people deep in lust as it blocks their capacity of thinking logically and systematically.
Love is a continuous process.It begins with physical attraction and as the bond grows stronger, we become emotionally attached to that person.In that sense, we can say that lust is equally important as it helps in establishing a deep connection which is an essential part of a relationship.
But the problem starts when the society eulogies love as something utterly divine and pure and lust as the byproduct of beastly instincts.Besides, It is our society that decides which form of love is Pure,legal and therefore acceptable in the society.From choosing your partner to the very act of sexual union, everything is monitored closely by the society.
This compilation of 12 stories and essays is a humble attempt to explore the dynamics of lust and love throughout generations.
I have utterly enjoyed going through this collection and recommend everyone to read it.
