People hate as they love, unreasonably.

Summary

This quote suggests that the intensity of hate and love can be irrational and illogical. Just like love, hatred is often driven by emotions rather than reason. It implies that people may harbor deep-seated animosity towards someone or something without legitimate grounds, just as they can passionately love someone unconditionally. Ultimately, the quote points to the complex and sometimes irrational nature of human emotions, highlighting the tendency for extreme feelings to arise without sound justification.
