Meaning
This reads as a defense of spiritual language that is often dismissed as soft or unfashionable. It suggests that love, in a public and moral sense, can be a serious force for social change, not a vague sentiment. In an argument about activism or faith, it lands as a reminder that serious ideals can sound unconventional and still deserve respect.
