'Love' and 'lust' are diametrically opposite to each other. The former is a virtue, whereas the latter is a vice. Love believes in giving; lust is always ready to receive. Love can sacrifice its own pleasure for noble purposes. Lust is just bothered about its own pleasures. Ultimately, it is love that wins, and lust is doomed to suffer, repent and regret over its own deeds.
Someone has very poetically said, 'It is in loving, not being lovedThe heart finds its quest;
It is in giving, not in getting
Our lives are blest.'
Selfless love is the divinest sentiment humans have. It is the only emotion that makes him a god. Selfless love is the quality of the angels. We can say people who have evolved to the highest level of existence, become selfless lovers.
There are many examples in history that prove the premise. Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is the divinest example of selfless love. His entire life is an epitome of selfless love in practice. He taught mankind how to love selflessly. We saw the culmination of his selfless love in his suffering inflicted upon him by the then Pharisees and religious authorities. On the cross, when he was being nailed, he prayed to God to forgive them. He loved mankind selflessly; and he did not flinch from suffering.
All great lovers of mankind have been givers, and they also gave everything they had to make this world a better place. Mother Teresa, Florence Nightingale, and many more who worked to preserve peace in the world are selfless lovers of mankind.
Lustful people, on the other hand are always conspiring to get as much as they can get. The present hellish condition of our planet, environment, resources, lopsided distribution of world's wealth, etc, is because of the lust of people. Stanley Houghton has beautifully portrayed this evil of lust in his play, Dear Departed through the characters of greedy Slaters and Jordans.
In the ever growing and ever developing world, people have become materialistic. Moral values have degraded. The worst sufferer is the elderly generation. Which is either being neglected or abandoned. The reason being the lust for material things. The greed of a man is never satiated and he becomes self-centered and doesn't bother about the feelings and emotions of others. People only believe in getting and inheriting things from their parents. All they want is a lion's share in their parents property and do not pay to heed to the happiness of their parents. It is the same that happened in the life of Abel Merryweather who hadcbeen living with his daughters turn by turn. Departed teaches us that love is supreme. It teaches us to give and not giving love is something which makes us selfless and is required in today's world which is lacking in these emotions.
