what is lust?

1st John 2:16    NASB For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. Lust is not from Above, but from the interactions with our lower nature as a part of the world-travel we all share in living our daily lives. What ways will our lust find to be connected with the world? The verse states our lust begins with the carnal flesh and moves up to the visual, namely what we see, or view. E.B.White quoted in "Removal" (July 1938): (1) I believe television is going to be the test of the modern world, and that in this new opportunity to see beyond the range of our vision we shall discover either a new and unbearable disturbance of the general peace or a saving radiance in the sky. We shall stand or fall by television — of that I am quite sure. (2) Television will enormously enlarge the eye's range, and, like radio, will advertise the Elsewhere. Together with the tabs, the mags, and the movies, it will insist that we forget the primary and the near in favor of the secondary and the remote.

I believe the quotations from 1938 and 1950's can equally be applied to the Internet for today. What is our 'inner eye' looking at? How are we focusing our vision? My own definition of lust: Lust is nothing more than desire to possess, capture, retain, retrieve and resonate so as to provide us ownership control for the benefit of ourselves. Matthew 6:22-23    NASB "The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. [v23] "But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! May our vision be clear, our eye full of light and our whole body filled with the fullness of His Great Love. I hope and pray our inner eye will overcome the lust from our body and eyes.
