I personally find myself in rebellion against the fate that history seems to have in store for us, and I suspect that some of you may be equally rebellious. The question is, what can you do? --Leo Szilard, \"Are We On The Road To War?\" Nov 17, 1961
hmm, i have to disagree with you on that one. i mean what are beliefs anyway. you can believe in yourself, in other people but to try a follow "beliefs" externally is self-defeat one could say. all i know is the emotion Che expressed of feeling in total completeness with himself and his accomplishments. remember there were times when he asked the people to give up certain things for a time like solidarity and prosperity but that was so that points could be traveled. the man followed his own heart which cannot be dictated by "beliefs" but one could say AMOR!

Booga: Ok if you don‘t like the word belief then how about if I say his ideology, his convictions? I think when I use beliefs I mean a similar thing to what you call heart. When you mention that he asked people to give up things for a time, what I admire is that he gave it all up as well and didn’t live a double standard. He didn’t just ask people to take part in voluntary work, he did it himself. In the Jon Lee Anderson book there's a passage about how when Che found out his family received special privileges when it came to food rations etc. he cut them, because he didn’t want his family to be treated differently than any other Cuban family. I guess I admire that he wasn’t a hypocrite and that he tried to live what he “believed”. Sorry, there I go using that word again.

well, well your point was well made, actually im persuaded by it. but your making it difficult by using the word "hypocracy" okay? i mean sure we live our life the best we can to the measure of our own standards. Che has his "very own" standards that were strictly his own.
as a leader and someone who loves deeply, (even people with children are careful of this) is that you treat everyone as equally as you can. which this little example supports his "big" example of how he felt the world should be. the man had many wonderful contradicitons and he admitted to them but no one is "immune" to hypocrisy. i dont like that word. why? could it be im the biggest hypocrite i know??? no, but how can one feel good about himself but still have humility (that may have went off topic, hehe im sorry)
but thank you for your feedback...you made a "believer" out of me. Oops.

right. your right...as a professional observer he discovered his mission eventually...i recall him having many opportunities and passing them by until he was certain it was his time. i too admire the man for giving up everything so we should be careful to sustain any contribution that a revolutionary makes in the world, it's a matter of respect, love and humanitarianism.
