Masewerawa atha kutha.
Medea Benjamin ndi Nicolas JSDavies fotokozani motere:
“Vuto losathetsedwa lomwe atsogoleri aku Western akukumana nalo ndikuti izi sizingapambane. Kodi angagonjetse bwanji Russia pankhondo, pomwe ili ndi zida zanyukiliya zokwana 6,000 ndipo chiphunzitso chake chankhondo chimanena mosapita m'mbali kuti izizigwiritsa ntchito isanavomereze kugonja komwe kulipo?"
Palibe mbali iliyonse yomwe ikufuna kusiya kudzipereka kwake: kuteteza, kukulitsa, gawo la dziko lonse lapansi, ziribe kanthu mtengo wake. Masewera ogonjetsa - masewera a nkhondo, ndi zonse zomwe zimabwera nazo, mwachitsanzo, kuchotseratu umunthu wa anthu ambiri, kusakhudzidwa ndi zovuta zake pa dziko lapansi - zakhala zikuchitika kwa zaka zikwi zambiri. Ndi “mbiri” yathu. Zowonadi, mbiri imaphunzitsidwa kuchokera kunkhondo kupita kunkhondo kupita kunkhondo.
Nkhondo - omwe amapambana, omwe amalephera - ndizomwe zimamanga zomwe ife tiri, ndipo atha kudya mafilosofi osiyanasiyana omwe amamera, monga chikhulupiriro chachipembedzo mu chikondi ndi kugwirizana, ndi kuwasandutsa ogwirizana. Umakonda mdani wako? Ayi, ndizopusa. Chikondi sichitheka mpaka mutagonjetsa satana. Ndipo, o, eya, chiwawa sichilowerera m'makhalidwe, monga momwe St. Augustine ndi "nthanthi ya nkhondo yolungama" yomwe adabwera nayo zaka 1600 zapitazo. Izi zinapangitsa kuti zinthu zikhale zosavuta kwa omwe angakhale ogonjetsa.
Ndipo nzeru imeneyo yaumitsidwa kukhala yeniyeni: Ndife nambala wani! Ufumu wathu ndi wabwino kuposa wanu! Ndipo zida za anthu - kuthekera kwake kumenya ndi kupha - zapita patsogolo, kuchokera ku zibonga kupita ku mikondo mpaka mfuti mpaka . . . uwu, nukes.
Vuto laling'ono! Zida za nyukiliya zimamveketsa chowonadi chomwe takhala tikuchinyalanyaza m'mbuyomu: Zotsatira zankhondo ndi kuchotsera anthu umunthu nthawi zonse, nthawi zonse, zimabwera kunyumba. Palibe "mitundu," kupatula m'dziko lathu chithunzi-mitundu.
Ndiye kodi timakhala ndi mphamvu zonsezi zomwe tadzigwirizanitsa tokha poteteza zabodza? Izi zikuwoneka ngati choncho, pamene nkhondo ya ku Ukraine ikupitirirabe ndipo ikukula, ikudzikakamiza (ndi tonsefe) pafupi ndi Armagedo. Ambiri a dziko lapansi akudziwa kuopsa kwa bodza limeneli; ngakhale tili ndi bungwe lapadziko lonse lapansi, United Nations, lomwe likuyesetsabe kugwirizanitsa dziko lapansi, koma lilibe mphamvu zokakamiza mgwirizano (kapena kukhala wanzeru) padziko lapansi. Tsoka la tonsefe likuwoneka kuti lili m'manja mwa atsogoleri ochepa omwe ali ndi zida zanyukiliya, ndipo adzazigwiritsa ntchito ngati "pakufunika".
Ndipo nthawi zina ndimawopa kwambiri: kuti njira yokhayo yomwe atsogoleri otere adzataya mphamvu zawo - kupanga ndi kugwiritsa ntchito ma nukes awo - ndikuti m'modzi kapena angapo aiwo, Mulungu wanga, ayambitse nkhondo yanyukiliya. Amayi ndi abambo, ndife lingaliro lachigawenga kuti izi zichitike. Zikuwoneka, pambuyo pa nkhondo yotereyi - ngati moyo waumunthu wapulumuka ndikutha kuyambanso kumanganso chitukuko - kukhala ndi maganizo abwino ndi chidziwitso cha dziko lonse lapansi kungapeze njira yofikira pachimake cha chikhalidwe cha anthu ndi malingaliro athu onse, opanda wina aliyense. kusankha, potsiriza adzawona kupitirira nkhondo ndi kukonzekera nkhondo.
Ndiroleni ndigwetse nkhaniyo pakadali pano. Sindikudziwa chomwe chiti chichitike, osanenapo zomwe ziti zichitike. Ndikhoza kungofikira mu kuya kwa moyo wanga ndi kuyamba kupemphera, mukhoza kunena, kwa mulungu aliyense pa dziko lino. O Ambuye, umunthu ukule usanadziphe.
Ndipo pamene ndikupemphera, yemwe akuwonekera koma wafilosofi wachifalansa komanso wolimbikitsa ndale Simone Weil, yemwe adamwalira mu 1943, zaka ziwiri zaka ziwiri za nyukiliya zisanachitike, koma yemwe ankadziwa kuti chinachake chinali cholakwika kwambiri. Ndipo ndithudi zambiri zinali zolakwika kale. Anazi ankalamulira dziko lake. Anatha kuthawa ku France pamodzi ndi makolo ake, koma anamwalira ali ndi zaka 34, mwachiwonekere ali ndi chifuwa chachikulu cha chifuwa chachikulu ndi njala.
Koma zimene anasiya m’zolemba zake ndi ngale yamtengo wapatali yozindikira. Kodi kwachedwa kwambiri? Apa ndipamene ndimagwada.
"Weil," analemba Christy Wampole mu a New York Times adasinthidwa zaka zitatu zapitazo:
"Anawona m'mbiri yake kutayika kwa msinkhu, kusamvetsetsa bwino pa chiweruzo ndi kulankhulana, ndipo pamapeto pake, kuchotsedwa kwa malingaliro abwino. Iye adawona momwe nsanja zandale zikumangidwira pa mawu ngati 'mizu' kapena 'dziko lakwawo' angagwiritsire ntchito zina zambiri - monga 'mlendo,' 'obwera,' 'ochepa' ndi 'othawa kwawo' - kutembenuza thupi ndi magazi. anthu muzolinga.”
Palibe munthu amene ali ndi tanthauzo? Kodi apa ndi pamene kumanganso kumayambira?
Kenako nyimbo inayamba kuyimba mmutu mwanga, mu moyo wanga. Nyimboyi ndi "Deportee," yolembedwa ndikuyimbidwa ndi Woody Guthrie Zaka 75 zapitazo, ndege itagunda ku Los Gatos Canyon ku California, kupha anthu 32 - makamaka aku Mexico, kubwezeredwa ku Mexico chifukwa mwina anali kuno "mosaloledwa" kapena mapangano awo ogwira ntchito adatha. Poyambirira atolankhani adadziwika ndi mayina okha Achimerika enieni omwe adamwalira (woyendetsa ndege, woyendetsa ndege, woyang'anira). Ena onse anali othamangitsidwa.
Zabwino kwa Juan wanga, chabwino, Rosalita,
Adios mis amigos, Yesu ndi Maria;
Simudzakhala ndi mayina anu mukakwera ndege yayikulu,
Onse amene adzakuyitanani adzakhala “othamangitsidwa.”
Izi zikugwirizana bwanji ndi a Doomsday Clock pa masekondi a 100 mpaka pakati pausiku, kupha kosalekeza ndi mphamvu za nyukiliya zikutsutsana wina ndi mzake ku Ukraine, dziko lomwe lili m'mikangano yosatha ndi yamagazi pafupifupi kulikonse? Sindikudziwa.
Kupatula, mwina, izi: Ngati nkhondo yanyukiliya ichitika, aliyense pa dziko lapansi palibe kuposa kuthamangitsidwa.
