Simplified meaning
Love is powerful and can help people overcome many difficult situations in life. However, there are some problems it can't fix on its own. For instance, if you're struggling with poverty, having love won't immediately solve your financial issues. It's the same with a toothache; love can provide comfort, but it won't make the pain go away. Imagine a family deeply caring for each other but still needing help to pay bills or visit the dentist. They need practical solutions like money or medical assistance, along with their love. So, while love is incredibly important, real-life challenges sometimes require more than just love to be resolved.
