For many people,
both passion and love become synonymous, which is an erroneous
statement, since both words mean very different things. Even to
clarify a bit the panorama, there can be love in the absence of
passion or vice versa, although for others, there can be no love if
there is no passion. The certain and concrete thing is that between
both there are differences and it is important to be very clear about
this point so that the relationship can become healthy and also
lasting. That is why we will tell you 7 differences that exist
between passion and love.
Normally when we
initiate an intimate relationship with someone, we usually confuse
passion with love. In short, passion is an emotional state, while
love is based on a deep feeling. Passion is more related to
physiological states, while love is something that comes from the
soul. It is for that reason that both can exist separately.
1. Passion can make
you miserable
Surely you have
heard or read the phrase that says: "I did it in the heat of
passion". People say this for a good reason. In other words
passion is capable of blinding a person, makes you act without
thinking at the moment, for example: having unprotected sex, throwing
punches or doing any number of things irresponsibly, always playing
to the limit. On the other hand, love helps you think better about
things. When a person feels a true love, they seek the best for
theirselves and their partner, instead of doing things in a crazy way
and without thinking about the consequences, which could even be
harmful.
2. Passion is
temporary
It is true that
passion can exist in a relationship where there is true love. But it
is also true that passion is temporary, that is, it vanishes over
time. For the passion to disappear it can take weeks, or even extend
for several months. But if the relationship, based on love, is
burning stages, the passion ends up being overshadowed and as a
result, it ends up disappearing. Normally when that happens, they
begin to see the defects that were not seen before, and that's where
you begin to notice if there really is love, because only that can
take them forward.
3. Passion is
hormonal
As passion is
something hormonal, to be produced, you need hormones such as
oxytocin and vasopressin, which produce feelings of intimacy and
closeness between lovers. These are produced by the brain. On the
other hand, for love to exist, you need as a main factor, to have
principles and skills for that. Love is built basically with respect,
honesty, communication and of course, empathy with the couple. It is
more for everything to work well should be given that treatment
between the two.
4. Passion develops
quickly
Passion develops so
quickly that you can experience it even when you meet someone, this
is why “Love at first sight” is false, what you feel at first
sight is passion not love. It happens when you meet an attractive man
or woman and you do not think about anything else, but rather that
this moment never ends. You can even end up throwing a phrase like "I
love you" in those moments. But the reality is that when the
days pass and the passion fades, you realize that you are not yet in
love. To be clear, love is something that you develop mutually with
someone as time passes, mainly when they overcome challenges and
difficult times.
5. Passion seeks for
approval of others
Passion always
motivates you to do more crazy things. This is because passion makes
us want to show what we do or with whom we are in order to receive
the approval of several people, lately this happens a lot on social
networks when we publish things looking for "likes". But
not everything ends there, also in the public way the affection is
shown in an exaggerated way. However, when you're in love, you do not
need any validation. The moments you spend with your partner already
validate that what you have is real.
6. Passions seeks
perfection
When you start
dating someone, of course there is passion, you want to be the most
perfect person and you also see the other person as if it were.
Unlike that, love is to continue feeling the same for that person,
even when you realize that it is not perfect. You will discover that
as time passes and love is accepted in the same way mutually.
7. You can feel
passion for many people
At this point
passion can be explained as follows: you go anywhere, you find a
person you like and you can even succeed in that search. Passion can
happen that fast. However, love of course is much harder to achieve.
The person with whom you develop love will have specific values and
qualities. Your life experiences will have some compatibility with
yours. Your weakness will be your strength and vice versa.
Never let yourself
be blinded by moments of passion. Always look for love in a person,
try to give yourself some time with your partner to give yourself
completely. Remember that between love and passion, the first will
lead you to a better path.
