Another great moment in the text
I know we were talking about our favorite moments in PL today, and definitely one of my favorites is on pg 163 when Raphael says to Adam "Because we freely love, as in our will To love or not; in this we stand or fall" (V.539-540). This quote struck me because of how true it is and because it says a lot about the relationship that God has with man and visa versa.
Moreover, this quote can be applied to life and human relationships. For example, are do we pick and choose who we love, or is love an innate emotion that we as humans cannot control? If the latter is true, then this quote reminds me of the "free love" concept of the 60s because humans have the ability to act upon their instinct and be with the ones they love. If the previous is true, then this leads me to believe that we choose the ones we love.
Its an awesome quote regardless and can be looked into in many ways. I think that its so true that we have a will to love or not to love, which ties into many other human emotions, which leads to either our rise or fall.
