it was mostly emphasis on the fact the desire to be strong is borne from insecurity (weakness) or past failures. it was the same for uzui, tanjiro and the other demons. demons are humans who gave into the desperation of their weaknesses and through that lost their humanity. +
the hatred akaza felt was just an extension of self loathing, the weakness he abhorred in himself. this is when muzan plays in. the process of becoming a demon is what removes the memories of the past, they become lost in their anguish and are reborn into suffering (samsara). +
that is to say, our memories are what make us human. the things we experience, the people we meet and the bonds we form are itself humanity. whether painful or joyous to let go of those is to let go of our very essences. akaza remembers and regains humanity, he returns ‘home’.
