How to tell love from lust?

Lust is what makes you create several topics about the same damn thing over and over again. Love is when you don't.

It's all agreed then,



and lust is when you do.

love would be similar to the feelings you have for your mother, sister or grandmother


lust not so much (unless you live in Arkansas)

Love is caring, and lust cares not...

If you don't know, you've never been in love.

Part of that problem is that you can be altogether charmed... I still lust after my wife and I have the tongue to prove it, and I love her because just like many people, I can hardly help myself... Only when one can know non sexual love can it be seen for the caring it is... Love can be good medicine, big medicine... But no one should fall in love to get well... Love demands good health, mental and physical because it must be followed up with a lot of labor... Saying love, and feeling love is easy... Doing love, caring, working for, working with another demands diligence and good health...

How do you determine what anything is or is not? I thought we all learned this in elementary set theory.
If definition determines which members are or are not in a set, then by transposition, definition determines predication, i.e. assertion and denial.

In order to determine then the difference between two things, learn their definitions.
