To change from the political to the emotional a bit;
If you’re swooning over your new sweetie, you may think you’re deeply in love. Friends, however, may say, “You’re just in lust.” Who’s right? Researchers have recently found evidence that people can distinguish between true romance and plain old sexual attraction. For the study, scientists performed MRIs on men and women as they looked upon photos of the person they were in love with and photos of acquaintances (both attractive and less attractive ones). The results showed that the two sets of photos affected the brain very differently: Photos of loved ones triggered more activity on the right side of the brain (an area associated with romantic emotions) than did the other photos; photos of extremely attractive people triggered more activity on the left side of the brain (a hotbed for sexual urges) than did the photos of subjects’ beloveds.
What this suggests, says study author Arthur Aron, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the State University of New York-Stony Brook, is that the emotions of love and lust are more distinct than we think, and that people can indeed discriminate between the two.

Brother I9bi7, I know I have something to say about this, I just need to think a bit. I’m still trying to sort out what was it that Kais and Laila had, Love or Lust, I’m strongly leaning toward LOVE, just need to read a couple more of Kais’s poems to be sure. This is really good subject it’s just that you surprised me, because we like to fight here and disagree, and here you are bring us a subject that will make us think about love, and may be show some love toward each other, man! you’re going to have to be patient with us, we have to get use to this…lol Almot
a nice friday night party has just been over or today was a heck of work .. time to lay and get some hours for one self, since tomorrow is "grasse matiné" day
As for me, I a mstuck with my GMAT prep.
Well back to the subject, are we really able to tell ourself if we really love a person or it is just attraction. From what I understood (from the text) human being can indeed make the difference up on their mind, as supposed to what I used to know; that love is a continuity to an extended lust ? Right or Wrong ? maybe some of your other thoughs will give us more inputs
