Lust

Tread carefully Julia, best behaviour.

How to define lust without getting sidetracked or giving

offence that's the rub if you'll pardon my Shakespeare.

Here goes ....... coming, ready or not.

I see the censor's already been at work.

 

It's the feeling of wanting someone up against your skin and

lips so badly that it makes you hurt inside.

I've definately been on my own too long, I feel a cold

shower coming on.

Lust has overcome me - I'll take them both please, please, please.

 

Very much a sin of the flesh, an intense desire of the body for

knowledge, sex or power.  Christianity regards it as

inappropriate and undesirable (as did my mother),

while Buddhists describe it rather more charitably as a

suffering and for Hindu's it's a gateway to hell.

Paganism isn't just about lust, they like a good bonfire too!

 

As for the Pagans, it's simply a case of each to his own.

"An it harms none do what ye will".

 

Our old friend Thomas Aquinas (the one who catalogued

six ways to commit gluttony), on the other hand has

rather a lot to say about lust which even I don't want

to touch upon.  However, for the super-curious who

lust after information, what you Google in the privacy

of your own search engine is no affair of mine thank goodness.

I wonder if he's found them yet?

 

The Marquis de Sade, sexual libertine and pornographer,

knew a thing or two about sin and once said

rather heatedly, "Lust is to the other passions what the

nervous fluid is to life; it supports them all, lends

strength to them all.  Ambition, cruelty, avarice, revenge

are all founded on lust.  Now where have you hidden

my handcuffs bitch?"

I don't get many party invites these days.

 

If the Catholic Church had had it's way he would most surely

have been smothered in fire and brimstone by a blue cow.

For all I know, may be he was.

 

Do you feel proud of your finished Long Dogs; get

green-eyed when you spot someone with a chart you don't

have; angry when there's not enough time to stitch; lazy

when there's a long and repetitious border to do;

keep adding more and more to your stash; buy far

more thread than you need; lust after the latest design?

Congratulations - you've committed every sin in the book!

Don't dither, buy it!
