Many people have their various opinions about the meaning of the word 'LOVE' some have the concept that love is having sex after meeting for the first time, others view it as the privillege to get whatever they want. Many people have been under the negative influence of lust thinking they are in love. I believe the unaddressed word "love" is the cause of the many suicides among the youths of our society.
I am of the opinion that lust is solely responsible for the unwanted pregnancies and abortions among our female folks; and i believe we can have a better world if this puzzle is rightly solved. Why is it that most youths seem to be a slave to their emotions rather than making their emotions subject to themselves? why is it that our teenage folks always fall prey to this dreadful puzzle?
What is lust : Lust is an infactuation which aims at destroying the good in others. Lust is dangerous because it has the power to repel love. Great minds build on love.
What Is Love : Love is the means by which we express genuine care and concern for someone. You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving. Love can also be the harmony we experience when we are in relationship with our friends and family.
There is nothing that gives more joy to people than knowing how much you care about them. You cannot care for people if you don't love them. Love is being there when there is every reason for you not to be. Always know that only you can decide to love.
SEX ? Napoleon Hill said in his book 'success through a positive mental attitude'. "Sex is a physical function of the body under the control of the subconscious and conscious mind. He said the power of sex like all other creation of God is good and can be used for good or for evil, the little difference that makes the big difference between the power of sex being a virtue or a vice is mental attitude.
The inherent emotion of sex is one of the most powerful forces of the subconscious mind. The effects of its motivating power can be observed long before adolescence.
When it is in conflict with the will of the conscious mind, the power of imagination, as it affects the emotion of sex, has a tendency to win unless the conscious mind uses its power to affect, use, control or harmonize with the powers of the subconscious. You have the power to choose. Choose wisely with a positive mental attitude. Transmute sex into virtue! Thus you will win over one of the greatest problems you will ever have to face in your personal and moral life."
