Meaning
This can be taken to mean that love is presented as the deepest corrective to cruelty, not as sentiment but as a force that answers harm. The line also points to the idea that hate is learned, shaped by systems and habits, so the remedy has to be practiced as well. It lands in a moment of conflict, when someone is asking what can actually interrupt bitterness.
