Confusion with love and lust

It is really a difficult subject that each and every person have their own views regarding this particular subject.
The trials and tribulations of either bein in love or just having lust for the person is questionable.
Lets see the difference in the definition of these two words.
Firstly LOVE means :1. a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person.
2. a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection,
as for a parent, child, or friend.
3. sexual passion or desire.
and what is LUST: . 1. intense sexual desire or appetite.
2. uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite;
lecherousness.
3. a passionate or overmastering desire or craving (usually
followed by for ): a lust for power.

So the question is which is which. Finding an answer to this is quite difficult but truth be told you as an individual are able to distinguish what each term means to you and how you apply it in your lif.
This may seem as a cliche but it is true when they say "the key lies with the beholder".
I am the only one who can decide what is best for me and people' may have their opinions but I must decide what is good for SAmu and not the next person's well being as I lie with the conciousness and regrets at the end of the day.
It is true that we learn from our mistakes but and keep your head up high and try again until im happy.

Johannesburg water

I am so angry for what happened over the weekend. The fact of not having any water is alot of stress, thinking that water is a basic need after all.

First it was Eskom with its loadshedding for two days, then the electricity comes back then water shortages by Johannesburg Water. Since these two incidents I always ask myself whether the services provided by these two organistions is perfect enough or will we still need to suffer for what we pay for and need for survival. Well, despite my frustrations everything was then put back in place but I know that sooner or later we will be complaining, but maybe this time it will be more drastic measures.

Back to reality and work

It has been quite a fabulous time I had at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown from 2 July-11 July. Well we had all the resources required for us to cover news stories and events but now it is back to reality. At the University of Johannesburg there has been the whole saga of there being swine flu on the campus. This issue was handled with care and caution and the necessary precautions were in place.

We were all back at campus on 13 July as lectures commenced. As soon as we came back we are already bombarded with assignments and practical classes. Well with all that said I hope to enjoy this semester and improve in all my subjects and marks to finally go to my last year.
