pisces- I knew I would have to do some explanation for making such a bold statement for comparing between the two. But I was only comparing the flash point that transformed both of their life. Che was from a well off family, educated to be a medical doctor, with such a beautiful girl from such a wealthy family. Had it not been for this trip, he probably wouldn't have come across these poor indegenious people who were oppressed by the rich in their own land and wouldn't have given up his life fighting for their rights. That was the flash point in his life, and I was just comparing that to Siddhartha (mind you, I haven't said Buddha yet) who was a rich prince with a wife, whose flash point was when he saw the poor, the sick and the dead on trips of his town. My knowledge of Che is very limited however, I would be doing little reading about his life though. Indeed a very inspiring personality.
