You and Love and Hate
"[LL love you truly, truly dear, Life with its sorrow, life with its tear..." were the words of the banal crooning which followed P. Martin Smith’s talk on "Love and Hate" in the series You'll Enjoy Education from 1ZB on Sunday morning, August 19. I could not help thinking that whoever is responsible for these fill-ups might also benefit from Adult Education. You might only discover these talks by accident, for they get no more than a small announcement in the listed programmes sandwiched in between the "Friendly Road Children’s Choir" and the "Friendly Road Service’ of Song." Martin Smith not only knows what to put in a radio talk but, perhaps more important still, what to leave out. Consequently his talk on "Love and Hate" was full of points for discussion. "Cruelty is a specifically human attribute," "Men have never loved their fellow men in the mass," "Love our enemies is a psychological impossibility," "Children are the only social group which the law will allow to be struck with impunity." It was a realistic approach to the subject in striking contrast to the large amount of fantasy we get from the Commercial stations.
