Answer 1

FIre with fire - just insert your situation -

Someone yells, you yell back, you just have  lot of yelling. Hatred with hatred, you get more hatred - nothing is being solved.

You don;t want to fight love, right? But you can respond to love with love, and your gonna get more love!

but this saying usually refers to a negative situation.

Answer 2

Put this in context of the Cold War. If the Soviets fought fire with American fire (Fire=nuclear weapons) then thats one heck of a problem. In terms of love? Well.... Maybe if there&#039;s an arguement don&#039;t fight to hard?

Answer 3

it means that if someone does something bad to you and you try to get revenge on them, the problems just going to get worse.

hope this helps:)

Answer 4

I think it means when you try to eliminate a problem by creating an other problem you get an even bigger problen.

Hope that helps
