Summary

This quote suggests that if one experiences a difficult or challenging love, they should respond in a similar manner. By being "rough" with love, actively questioning its motives and actions, one can confront and overcome the obstacles or pain caused by love.

Ultimately, the quote advises to not be passive when love becomes challenging, but rather to assert oneself and take control to overcome any adversity that love may bring.
