Summary

This quote suggests that love is often pursued by those who have nothing else to focus on and are idle in their lives. However, those who are busy and occupied with their work or responsibilities may not be able to fully devote themselves to love. It implies that being actively engaged in one's pursuits can make it difficult to prioritize and invest in romantic relationships. Hence, love becomes a luxury for a certain group of people who have the time and space to pursue it.
