Simplified meaning
Adultery means being unfaithful in a relationship. This quote is saying that when people cheat, they act like everyone has an equal chance to be loved, like in a democracy where everyone gets a vote. Imagine you are in a committed relationship, but then start showing love to someone else. It's as if you are giving both people the same chance to receive your love, instead of being loyal to just one. For example, if a married person starts dating someone new secretly, they are spreading their love around instead of keeping it focused on their spouse. This idea can be harmful because it breaks trust and can hurt feelings deeply. To apply this to life, one should stay loyal and honest in relationships to build strong, reliable bonds rather than acting like love should be spread around without commitment.
