2 - Love and Lust

I know better now...

    Once teenagers found out that ‘love’ will be the topic of their composition or essay to be write, they were so excited because they can outcast many things about it. They were so inspired to talk about it that sometimes it seems like they have known already anything about it. But for me, love is the most complicated thing in this world. It is not that easy to understand. It is a learning process because sometimes teenagers can mistake love for fleshly desire only.

This is a very big problem among the teenagers in the world. With some many teenage single moms and kids having intercourse among an early age, they use the phrase "I love you" a little too loosely. Lust is what makes people believe that they’re deeply in love with someone. When two teens with so much lust for each other and all they ever do are just having lust relations, they may very well think they are in love. The phrase "making love" is used for intercourse, so in time, teenagers may convince themselves they are in love, when all it is just simply physical attraction. As a result, the number of teenage pregnancy is increasing. Early marriage occurs in both sides. Teenagers who require on early marriage are in fact not ready for responsibilities.

Teenagers should not commit seriously when it comes to love. They may say that they’re deeply in love but sometimes, all they feel is lust. So for me, all teenagers should be aware when it comes to their feelings so it won’t lead to anything bad. All we have to do is enjoy this sudden change of emotion that occurs to us but never misused it. Enjoy the fun and amusement you feel to your opposite sex. Never do anything that we will regret in the end. Because like what other people say, in order to be loved for real, one must love himself or herself first. How can we do that? Respect yourself.

Love and lust is two different things but they are both engaged with big responsibilities. Love is somehow deep while lust is the front act of it. Take the time to know each other's heart. When you do, you will be more understanding and less suitable to misunderstand another's intentions, which probably were never meant to hurt or upset you to begin with. Take our time to know what love is. We can do it without trying to do mistakes. Do not rush to fall in love. Because you may not know that while you hurry to fall in love, you have just fall in lust.
