Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of love between men and women has been corrupted as a result of society's focus on ensuring the legitimacy of children. This emphasis on legitimacy, potentially driven by the need for inheritance and societal restrictions, has overshadowed the purity and authenticity of love itself. By placing such importance on the verification of lineage, the true essence of love and authentic connection between individuals has been compromised.
