When it comes to things that are neither good nor bad, the soul feels neutral. Think of it like this: a money changer can't refuse Caesar's coin. Neither can someone selling vegetables. If you show them the coin, they have to accept it and give you what you're buying — whether they want to or not. The soul works the same way. When something truly good appears, it draws you toward it immediately. Evil pushes you away. But your soul will never reject something that's clearly good, just like people won't reject Caesar's coin. This is the basic principle behind every action by humans and gods.
and with respect to that which is neither good nor bad it feels indifferent. For as the money-changer (banker) is not allowed to reject Cæsar's coin, nor the seller of herbs, but if you show the coin, whether he chooses or not, he must give up what is sold for the coin; so it is also in the matter of the soul. When the good appears, it immediately attracts to itself; the evil repels from itself. But the soul will never reject the manifest appearance of the good, any more than persons will reject Cæsar's coin. On this principle depends every movement both of man and God.
