In some ways, I feel about lust the way I do about European governments... You see, Europe is kinda old and they've gone through many forms of governance over their many countries... like communism, monarchy, dictatorships, democracies, free governments, liberal governments, fascist governments. You name it and they've tried it.... What's the common denominator among all the various forms of rule? Rabid anti-semitism... Whether they appeal to the most liberal of principles or the most fascist, they use those principles to justify the hatred of Jewish people.... Why do I bring this, and how is this like lust?
The human brain gives us many reasons and theories under which we can lust... It can be to satisfy an animalistic urge on one hand, or to feel special and loved on the other, and everything in between... But no matter what the reasoning, we use it because it's a human instinct to lust.
