Difference Between Lust and Infatuation

Lust and infatuation r like 2 sides of the same coin. They are 2 different faces of the coin; each is unique and has its own status in society. :-)
Lust
The dictionary meanings of lust are:
> Strong sexual desire or appetite.
> Illicit or uncontrolled sexual desire or appetite.
> An overmastering or passionate desire or craving.
> To have a desire or yearning to have an excessive craving or strong craving.
We need 2 understand that lust is not just used for sexual desire; it is used for intense hunger, passion, or craving for things which are considered materialistic in our society. There are many examples of lust> eg, someone’s lust 4 power, meaning their intense desire 2 B in POWER.
Someone’s lust 4 life, meaning intense passion towards living UR life, doing things you love not just existing or surviving or dragging on in ur life but living ur life to the FULLEST.
Lust for money, meaning a huge appetite for gathering money in one way or another thus a strong d3sire.
In our daily life we hear the word “lust” and relate it to someone’s s3xUaL desire 2wards someone, but the core of this word refers to an intense craving 4 something or some1. The hunger is so strong that 1 wants to achieve whatever they desire with or without rul3s. Morality, legitimacy, and appropriateness do not figure or mean much, when one lusts after something or someone, one can cross any limits. This is the reason Y lust is considered 1 of the 7 sins.
Lust 4 some1 can be easily mistaken 4 love very easily as the object of a person’s desire might consider lust of someone 4 th3m as intense love. But, as we all know, love is virtuous and only inspires people to do positive things whereas lust can be a result of a negative inspiration :-D. It might be a selfish act to please only oneself and not care for the feelings or pleasure of another. It is absolutely conditional; the condition being attaining something or someone at all costs.




Infatuation
The dictionary meanings of infatuation are:
>State of being infatuated or the act of infatuation.
>Extravagant or foolish passion. :-p
Infatuation refers to momentary emotional or physical attraction towards someone you like, their mannerisms, their physical appearance, the way they talk, walk, the way dey dress, the way they behave in society, it can be anthing. Infatuation can be 2wards some1 you don’t know at all, such as 2wards celebrities. It is for a very short period of time and is almost erased from the memory after you find someone else to direct your feelings 2wards. Once infatuated, a person might get the same feeling as being in love. But, again, love is not conditional whereas infatuation is all about liking some particular featurEs of a person; lose the features and it’s over. This word refers only to the ATTRACTION of 1 person 2wards another.
