Meaning

This takes a saying about love and flips it into a warning about hate. It reads as a claim that the moral force of feeling changes how the same world is experienced, softening hardship in one case and distorting beauty in another. It lands when a person notices how bitterness can spoil even good things, or how care can make rough circumstances feel survivable.
