Social Media has brought the awareness the kidnapping of 230 girls in North East Nigeria on April 16, 2014 .
The girls are between the ages of 12 & 17 years old. They were abducted from their boarding school in Chibok, Nigeria.

The girls were relaxing in their dorms at the Government Girls Secondary School in the northern Nigerian town of Chibok when gunmen arrived in trucks, cars and on motorcycles.

Can You Tell the Difference Between Lust and Love?

Love is one of life’s most intense emotions, and when you are in lust it’s easy to think you are feeling love but the two are different.

*Lust is what first brings people together. It’s that initial desire to be with the person, while love is the desire to stay with him or her.

*Love commonly starts out as lust and the two might even have an overlapping stage at some point in the relationship or lust may never turn into love.Love develops more with time and separation.

*Infatuation is the state of being completely carried away by unreasoning passion or love; addictive love.
Infatuation usually occurs at the beginning of relationship when sexual attraction is central.
The foremost symptom of being infatuated by a person is wanting to be around that person.
This may sometimes also be sexual desire.

Love Versus Possession

*The possession of anything begins in the mind.*
Bruce Lee

*Love does not claim possession, but gives freedom.*
Rabindranath Tagore

*Possession it is when love exceeds its designated and demarcated boundaries that the element of fear and intensity of possession begins to take control in it and hence a stable relationship begins to turn corrosive.
