I would be happy to be called "lustful". A lustful person is someone who especially likes beauty. First of all, it means that you, as a person, like and dislike certain things, and that's fine. Many people give up the right to like and dislike, and are careless about many things, always saying: "It's okay!" "Whatever!" This kind of words sound very listless.If you talk too much, you will gradually lose the ability to like and dislike, and eventually even your face will become blurred. So if you are "lustful", at least it proves that you have a clear distinction between love and hate, and live very vigorously.

Moreover, lasciviousness also means that you "has the ability to appreciate". This is even more rare. Look at the people around you, and you will know that "taste" is getting rarer and rarer. Ugly people are said to be beautiful, ugly things are sold very expensively, dirty clothes are considered fashionable, and stupid opinions are repeatedly discussed. Of course, many people who are scolded as "lustful" actually don't have much appreciation. Some are so serious that as long as the other party can breathe, they can excite him.With such a level, he cannot be awarded the honor of "lusty", because he "is not lustful".To be more precise, it should only be considered a "nympho".

It's not wrong to be "anthropomorphic", but it's not as good as the level of "lusty". A lustful person can get pleasure and joy from the beauty of the other party, which is an important part of happiness in life. If we can feel peace and happiness from "beauty", we will have more confidence in life and believe that life is worth living. Beautiful architecture, beautiful music, beautiful food, and beautiful people often comfort me, making me unable to refuse the feast of life, and lingering on many precious moments. And among all the beauties, beautiful people surprise and dazzle me the most.

The reason is simple, beautiful people always appear in unexpected places and in unexpected ways. Shop assistants, passers-by, homeless people, people who take the same brand of dog food as you in the supermarket. The beauty of these people is often concealed by the tedious and hasty life.But as long as you are lustful enough, you can naturally detect their whereabouts like a first-class hound. In contrast, other beauties are more or less predictable and less likely to surprise you.It is unlikely that you will hear Puccini's arias in a noisy night market; it is unlikely that you will find an apartment designed by Gaudi in the alley behind your house.

The surprise and touch of appreciating beauty has long been strangled by the exhaustion of "trying to access beauty".Who can accept the electricity from the "Mona Lisa" in the crowded crowd of the Louvre? Who can only see the Great Wall and not see the vendors submerging the Great Wall? In order to appreciate the beauty, so exhausted, queuing up to enter the Louvre, pushing to climb the Great Wall, the result is not able to feel the power and comfort of beauty. Only beautiful people will always surprise you, appear in front of you, surprise you, and make you smile. What's the point, you're not lewd?

The ability to be lustful, like the ability to appreciate all beautiful things, cannot stay in place, but can only continue to upgrade. People who are just "lustful" have poor eyesight and too much appetite, and they often have a good impression of gaudy and artificial beauty.This primary taste can gradually move towards high-level taste, only by constantly tasting, constantly feeling insufficient, and constantly seeking stronger emotions.Anyone who loves wine and clothes goes through the same process. As for those "without the ability to be lustful", they lack opinions on beautiful people.When they want to enjoy the beauty of people, they can only look for it on the idols in the entertainment industry, or on the models on the catwalk.This is of course very boring, and you get tired of it immediately, because this is not your own lust, but just copying what others say, and it is produced by "mass producers of beauty" after groping for the taste of the public.

Moreover, you can only consume this kind of beauty, but not enjoy it.So it is easy to be disillusioned with the beauty of idols.Because of that beauty, it does not make you live more energetically and believe more.It just makes you spend all the money you should spend, and then find that the other party has nothing to do with you. Lust, promises endless possibilities of happiness in life. But you have to develop your own mind and exercise yourself.As with all pleasures in life, sooner or later you will tire of relying only on what others feed you, and you will end up spoiling your precious appetite.
