If the story of romantic woman is the story of entire mankind, the story of mankind is therefore story of love and lust. In fact, there has never been lived a woman who, at a point in her lifetime, has not loved passionately. The love may be covered up or smothered, it may have been one-sided and mow become completely extinguish that its ashes are already scatted to the four winds; or perhaps its memory may have dimmed. The woman might not even have been conscious of the blazing fire in her at the time, however the truth is that all aspire for being loved, although lust may also be confused for this love.
But unlike lust, love is real and not imagine or ephemeral; it is sincere and not exploitative; humane and not necessarily promiscuous. Quranic account of Zulaikha’s passion for Yusuf makes it abundantly clear that a man’s failure to appreciate a lady’s love may be too dangerous and even implicative for him. Indeed the scholars and poets have often told us of the tremendous strength of love. The pathetic sight of a woman gripped by feverish love is almost as if the lover’s will has been seized by an overwhelming invisible force. Every waking though is directed to the beloved, and the love is alternatively lifted into ecstasy or rather plunged into agony.
Indeed, the phrase ‘falling in Love “can be said to graphically and symbolizes the lover’s loss of control over her or his own destiny, and her propulsion into euphoria that can only cease with ultimate fulfillment of happy conjugal union.
Lust in all it ramification is not love, because unlike love it is merely transient: wealth, status, beauty and all that is pleasurable account for its goal. A lady gripped with by lust, can be become self-centre; misconstruing her state for that of love and exploiting it as a mere tools of self gratification. But, whenever she realizes love as a genuine affection, she is no longer self-centered. And on the contrary, her love for you might signify the most desirable spirit of self sacrifice.
A lustful lady will be easily infatuated by whatever a man makes of himself rather than he is. As for her, riches, status and sex appeal count more than his moral or religious credentials; and she perceived the man through a mirror that reflect him to be favourable in short he is incredibly handsome, gracious, kind, romantic and creative in her sight. In any event, the man is viewed in term s somewhat larger than life.
