Love : Che and Lenin

How are we to respond to this urging to fear and to hate?  Well I concluded
my spiel by saying that we must absolutely refuse the invitation to fear
and hate and instead we must dedicate ourselves to creating a world of
love.  I would have had to be tortured repeatedly once before I would ever
utter the word 'love' at a political occasion.  But time and tides have
changed me and there I was advocating unconditional love à la Bhaskar.  The
resulting applause from the young audience made me think that maybe I had
been mistaken all those hard Leninist years ago.

Regards

Gary

What's it all about, Alfie?
Is it just for the moment we live?
What's it all about
When you sort it out, Alfie?
Are we meant to take more
Than we give
Or are we meant to be kind?

And if only fools are kind, Alfie,
Then I guess it's wise to be cruel.
And if life belongs
Only to the strong, Alfie,
What will you lend
On an old golden rule?
As sure as I believe

There's a heaven above, Alfie,
I know there's something much more,
Something even non-believers
Can believe in.
I believe in love, Alfie.
Without true love
We just exist, Alfie.
Until you find
The love you've missed
You're nothing, Alfie.
When you walk
Let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day, Alfie, Alfie.

Hal David - Burt Bacharach
