Love or lust?

Many people in our society confuse love and lust. This is understandable given the amount of sexualisation, not just that of women, but also that of men and children. (Think about the last billboard you have seen if you are in Australia. You may think this is a far-fetched statement that children and men are also sexualised. Sexualisation is the depiction of someone as someone who is worthy of one's attention only because of their sex appeal. The media is the main culprit for the sexualisation of our modern world. Almost any young person who you know would have kissed a person of the opposite sex. Anyone who hasn't is considered abnormal and naive or a goody-two-shoes. This is how inculcated our society is with the idea that without sexual experiences, one is not only incomplete, but not human.
