Yeah, they do get confused. And I think between people of the opposite sex (assuming they're hetero) lust and love can travel together. I think lust works better when there's love, in fact. Yep, I agree. Our desire to be loved is huge. We're sheltered and nurtured in a warm safe place after we're conceived and fed and nurtured as babies and children, at least if things are done right. I think those of us who were healthily psychologically attached as babies spend the rest of our lives seeking that same sort of closeness and nurturing and sustenance. That's my thinking on love right now, at least. I don't know that it's true, but it makes sense to me.
