Being Away - Status v/s Sending Updates

I guess couple of days back I had updated my Facebook Status stating - "There are certain things that make us Insane and Facebook is one of them." and post that decided to take a break from visiting Facebook for some time, unknown to myself.  Declared it to friends and then have been away from Facebook, literally away, not checking the status updates or comments or anything that sorts.  I have simply moved to a world where I am not checking anything there be it messages or updates from the friends or new friend requests.. I am absolute zero on what is happening there on Facebook.

I wouldn't deny that it did seem initially that I am missing something in my daily schedule, but then I settled the routine without being around on the Facebook.  However, today when I was wrote a poem, I thought of sharing it with my Facebook friends and while doing so, I also shared few of my other poems that I had worked on in last few days.  But again that was achieved without logging on to the Facebook and without visiting my Facebook page :)

I just wanted to ensure that my friends do get an update about the posts they (might) like and that they might love to read.  But I am sure the way my friends are they would have thought that I visited Facebook page, hence thought let me write this post so that they get the update that I didn't visit Facebook page and I am still living in a world sans Facebook :))

My message to all my Facebook Friends is that I am still away and whenever they see a link to my write-ups either on my regular blog or my poems, they should take it as a message from me to them about my well-being.  And yeah, they should also take it as a message that I wanted to share some literary work with them, as I am sure most of them are not subscribed to my blogs (or do not even know that the blogs exist :P).

My Sharing of My Blog Posts is an act of sending updates while still being away from Facebook.....So if Shaits da, you read this one, please be notified that the BETS are still on :))

Love v/s Lust

Love and Lust, the two facets of life.  Love the way it presents itself, is more divine and Lust the way it appears if more devilish.  But is that true?  For me I don't think so, because Love in certain form leads to Lust or say, Love in certain forms is called Lust. 

I guess you would be thinking as if I have gone crazy to write what I wrote above, but just evaluate it this way - Lust is more associated with Physiological needs and Physiological attractions than Psychological.  Love on the contrary is more of a Psychological need of human beings.  For instance when people say "Love at First Sight", they are more attracted towards the Physical Appearance of the person they think they are in love with.  Love in this case from my viewpoint is nothing but Lust, because what you loved is the Physical Body and not the Actual Personal or the Personnel Traits.

People say Lust is animalistic and incidentally they at the same time make a comment "Making Love" when they actually mean sexual involvement.  Now, isn't that a form of Love associated with the Physiological need?  Yeah what is attached to it is the Lust.  Making Love or Having Sex are just two different way to refer to the same act and there is no difference, unless there are facets of tenderness, care and passion involved in it.  Without these three, Making Love is nothing but satisfying one's Lust.

Love on the contrary is too broad and there is no limitation or boundary to the feeling of Love.  It can just transform from one kind to other but it never ends.  Love is simply a divine feeling that just increases for someone with good camaraderie and with whom you have a good "Chemistry".  The reason I used the word Chemistry is for the sole reason that when you find someone pleasing and someone really nice, your body reacts in a particular fashion to generate Hormones that increase your energy levels and that result in more positive attitude within yourself.  Love for that reason is divine as it increases the positive attitude than the negative and it keep you more healthy than not.

Lust and Love both have their own place in our lives, but we need to keep them where they belong.  It does happen at times that Lust takes over Love and we later think that we did something wrong. Socially or morally it could be considered wrong, but we need to understand that Lust is integral part of our life and our Physiological needs.

However, I am not suggesting that live for Lust :)) because Lust would not get you a Companion to lead your life, Love definitely would.  I say so because Love is also associated with Trust, Belief and Respect, which Lust might not even consider :)
