Summary

This quote suggests that reason and faith are often conflicting concepts, similarly to how passion and reason can contradict each other. Reason tends to rely on logic and evidence, often questioning and challenging religious beliefs. Meanwhile, passion, driven by strong emotions and desires, can often override logical reasoning. Thus, the quote implies that passion and reason stand as rebellious elements against each other, both posing challenges to the other's dominance in decision-making.
