Summary
This quote suggests that the motivation behind obedience varies based on one's character. Wicked individuals obey commands primarily out of fear of consequences or punishment. In contrast, good-natured individuals choose to obey not because they are afraid, but rather because they genuinely love and appreciate the values or authority figures that they are obeying. It highlights the difference in intentions and the moral aspect of obedience, suggesting that true goodness springs from a place of love rather than fear.
