Meaning
The line reads as an argument that hatred is self-defeating, while respect and love create room for something better. It can be taken to mean that conflict costs everyone, but generosity returns more than it takes. It lands most clearly in moments of social division, when the practical choice is not just to oppose harm, but to decide what kind of future to keep making possible.
