Love, not lust


Love is permanent. 

Lust is erasable. 

Love is completely unconditional, while lust is absolutely egocentric.

Love makes the tallest and most majestic mountain appear inferior. And lust makes the arrogant seem humble. 

And so, because of all these things,  I love you, and do not lust you.
