Summary

This quote suggests that our sense of morality is often influenced by our personal biases or dislikes towards others. It implies that our judgment of what is right or wrong is not solely based on universal principles, but rather on the individuals we favor or find agreeable. In other words, our moral perspective can be tainted by subjective feelings towards others, revealing the potentially subjective nature of morality itself.
