Summary

This quote suggests that hatred and love can have similar effects on our emotions and actions. It questions whether, without the guidance of religious teachings, we would be able to differentiate between the actions of a person motivated by envy (like Judas) and someone motivated by fear (like Peter), both of whom were involved with the crucifixion of Jesus. It highlights the idea that emotions can be complex and intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish between them solely based on observable actions.
