To all of my followers:
Please boost my last post. I tried to post about the groups on Facebook and immediately had people telling me “They have a right to freedom of speech”, so I deleted my status. These people are disgusting, racist, sexist, rape condoning pigs. I don’t believe people like that should be allowed to exercise their right for freedom of speech, especially on a public forum.

This post is sad because that’s the point of the ‘freedom of speech’. The rights listed aren’t a popularity contest or democratic in any way. It’s a protection of the individual from the group. If u believe that a homosexual should be able to speak openly about their same gender sexuality, then a heterosexual should be afforded the same protection to speak about mixed gender sexuality. If an atheist should be able to espouse that there is no deity of any kind, then theists should be able to espouse their deity. If rejection of speech that u like is wonderful, then speech u don’t like is equally wonderful. Just remember that being free to speak doesn’t mean that anyone’s going to listen. If I’m not ‘return following’ your blog, that’s why. I don’t want to listen to you. Get over it.

At current count, I have 1,007 followers. Thank you very much. New awesome multi-wife pix & blessing commentary will be coming soon. Enjoy!

What is the difference between passion, lust and desire. All three of these terms are similar in nature yet very different. I was asked once, do you love me or is it just lust? My reply, it is passion as well as desire.

let me know how some of you feel about this particular topic. I’d be very interested to know. After all each definition has its place!

Since the question has been posited, I’ll give my take.

LUST is a superlative of DESIRE w an animalistic connotation. A normal person may desire to eat food as is proper to live. Someone given over to their inner animal & forgetting their human capacity for self-control will lust for food: respond & behave out of pure physicality as though they have no mind or control at all. This is most common in regard to the sexual arena where people forget to say No & then wonder about the consequences afterward.

PASSION comes from the Latin ‘pathos’ which means ‘suffering’. A passion is one that hurts you to deny yourself & makes u feel most happy while working in the capacity. Artists often have a passion (“inner suffering”) to make their music or other artistic expression. The word is often used in the sexual arena because those people who lust feel pain & suffering when denying their body their object of desire. Hunger can be painful, but a passionate foodie will feel hunger more acutely by his focus on the pain thus driving his lust for food.

Where does love fit into all of this?

LOVE is the willingness to give yourself pain & suffering because of the betterment for another person. A parent with little money or food may willingly eat less & give themselves hunger pains in order to more properly feed their child. Sexually, that same parent might lust for their child, but in genuine love for the child, they won’t act on their lust but would rather endure the pain of unsatisfied lust than do anything to negatively affect their child’s proper maturation like incest or underage sexual molestation.
