Love vs Lust
In love, the other is important; in lust, you are important. Heard this beautiful quote from Osho.
The divinity within me transcends time and is present in everything, is my friend in every deed. In fact, I am that divinity, but leaving my true state intact; I have created another instance of me with fewer capabilities, only to experience various states of myself with unique capabilities and evolve back to my true state. Interestingly, every being in this universe, regardless of their nature or disposition, is essentially a limited version of myself.
