I Disagree! Lust without Fantasy, Depravity and Utter Degradation is not Lust. Sexual Desire ie Lust is but God's Work. Therefore it is Holy! Those who Deny Lust, Deny God! Repent Ye Sinners! Embrace the Carnality that Life has to Offer!
I did not say lust was lust without the fantasy.
Lust is a natural instinct that has been adulterate, perverted by fantasy. A natural instinct is redefined, the name changes to lust because it has become perverted.
To must of good thing could be a bad thing.
The repletion of a lust Fantasies may create a conditioned response, compulsive desire, causing a person to have little control over their actions, to act on Impulse, without thought.
The Imagination of man's heart has caused man to do evil from his youth.
Here is something from an old book that I have.
Common Sense, How to use it.
By, Yoritomo-Tashi, Copyright , 1915
"Common sense rarely needs to strive; it unfolds itself in an atmosphere of peace, far from the tumult of abstractions and snares that are not easily avoided.
" common sense should be thus defined: " it is a central sense, toward which all impressions converge and unite in one sentiment- the desire for truth.
The Fight against Illusion.
Common sense, according to Yoritomo, is the absolute antithesis
of illusion, against which it struggles from the moment of contact.
" The man who allows himself to be influenced by vague dreams must, if he does not react powerfully, bid farewell to common sense and reason; for he will experience so great a charm in forgetting, even for one moment, the reality of life, that he will seek to prolong this blest moment. " he will renounce logic, whose conclusions are, at times, opposed to his desires, and he will plunge himself into that false delight of awakened dreams, or, as some say, day dreams.
Here is little short scenario I made up.
If a married man with children, and not wanting to leave his family fantasizes about other women creating a compulsive desire that he must act out then has an affair, falls in love, get a divorce, destroys his family.
The women he had an affair with had a family. The man is 55 years old the new women is 35 and has 3 kids 1, 10, and 12.
The man's 2 kids are 16 and 17 years old.
The Man had planned to retire in four years but now he is unable to because his ex wife will get half of his retirement and it is not enough to live on.
Oh I almost forgot, his new love is pregnant.
This is all because he chose to live in his imagination instead paying attention to reality and business.
If we are not careful living in our imagination, creating a world of delusion and fantasy, I can see us loosing control of what we choose to allow into our consciousness.
I can see were our Imagination can take on a life of its own
IT can become as though we were possessed by and Evil Spirit, an Entity, giving us direction.
