Summary

This quote suggests that love and lust are distinct emotions because they arise from different foundations. Love is depicted as something that grows and endures because it stems from a deep connection between souls or individuals. In contrast, lust is described as a fleeting and temporary feeling that diminishes with enjoyment. The reason for this distinction is attributed to love arising from a spiritual or emotional union, whereas lust arises solely from a physical or sensory attraction. Ultimately, this quote highlights the disparity between lasting love and transient lust based on their origins.

Do not judge from mere appearances; for the lift laughter that bubbles on the lip often mantles over the depths of sadness, and the serious look may be the sober veil that covers a divine peace and joy. The bosom can ache beneath diamond brooches; and many a blithe heart dances under coarse wool.

See where Congress passed a two billion dollar bill to relieve bankers' mistakes. You can always count on us helping those who have lost part of their fortune, but our whole history records nary a case where the loan was for the man who had absolutely nothing. Our theory is to help only those who can get along, even if they don't get a loan.
