Lust:
What is lust?
Lust is basically looking at someone with a desire to have them in a way only married couples are supposed to enjoy. It is a craving for sexual intimacy or a desire for the flesh of another. Lust can drive people to do a number of things they would not normally do.
Everyone lusts after someone, but does that make it right? In today’s society is hard not to lust after a particular person or particular people. Lust is one of the seven deadly sins as the effects of lust can destroy people. Married people who lust after someone may end up acting on that feeling and start an affair, which in turn will destroy their marriage.
In my opinion, lust is wrong. It is considered a sin and if acted upon can lead to disastrous consequences such as adultery, teenage pregnancy ect. The saying `It’s okay to look but not touch`, is completely over-rated. Although everyone says it, no one really just leaves it alone. The temptation of the flesh is overpowering and people act upon the lust they feel.
