Now... before you Die of Hearbreak due to all of the posts and craziness under me, I would like to explain a bit on how this blog works. So... to my right, I have this thing called "Labels." It is recommended that you start on the "An Introduction" before venturing off at your free will, but choose what you will. Anyways, I have also responded to my own posts, which you can find by clicking on the "comments" under each post. I hope you enjoy your stay here and learn something new about "More Die of Heartbreak" by Saul Bellow! :)

The Two Superpowers
I have had this question for a long time, and it's been bothering me... where's the line between love and lust? How do people decide whether they are going for that guy or girl for love or the other?
I would like to say that this question has an answer to it, but I doubt there is one. It can depend on the person, for instance. Someone might say that "making out" might be counted for lust, while others don't think about it until sex appears. I have a strong feeling that lust is stronger than love, however, love is the most pure, precious, beautiful emotion. It can beat lust, it all depends on your heart.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love can bring such great joy to people, but it is also so fragile... To break it would be to break apart someone's world.

Even the Bible itself states:
