Some believe that love and passion are completely identical concepts, and therefore use them as synonyms. In fact, they have little in common, although they are inextricably linked with human relationships. Love should not be replaced by passion either in speech or in life. Why should one always distinguish passion from love? Let's try to clarify this issue.

Passion is a desire-based feeling of lust that is uncontrollable and strongly influences a person's behavior and thinking.

If required, she no doubt puts relationships with other people on the line, hurts. When passion is a priority, it ultimately destroys itself and the couple's relationship.
If passion is without love, then such a relationship has no future. Love can be without passion. Very often passionate feelings turn into a peaceful, calm channel. Passionate impulses are replaced by trust, mutual respect, the need for each other. Love is based on self-giving, selflessness, forgetting oneself for the sake of another. Love says: "Whatcan Ibe able to dofor you?" And passion cries out: "Whatare youready to dofor me?" Passion goes ahead, love is tactful and noble, it is not in a hurry, not in a hurry.
Passion makes one fall into addiction akin to a narcotic one, painfully desire more and more bright and strong emotions. But such violent feelings cannot exist for a long time. Passion can lead to humiliation, love never humiliates, but, on the contrary, elevates, gives strength to live.
