Summary

This quote suggests that humans are inherently inclined to hold beliefs. Just as a tree naturally produces apples, so do individuals naturally possess beliefs from the moment they are born. It implies that belief is an intrinsic part of human nature, something that we cannot escape. Our beliefs shape our perspectives and influence our actions, much like how apples define a tree's identity and purpose.
