Summary

This quote suggests that belief in free will leads to a lack of strong emotions such as love and hate. It implies that a person who truly loves and hates is able to do so because they do not attribute their actions solely to external factors or predetermined circumstances, but rather take responsibility for their choices and emotions. Thus, it suggests that a belief in determinism or the absence of free will may impede the depths of human emotions.
