Kugwa kwa Nkhondo ikufotokoza maganizo a Leo Tolstoy, Bertrand Russell, Mohandas Gandhi, ndi Albert Einstein. Ayi! Nditha kungoganiza zowopsa zomwe ndingatenge ngati nditasungitsa amuna anayi aja, atatu "oyera," ndipo onse anayi atafa motsimikiza, pagulu pamsonkhano womwe ukupita patsogolo. Ndikanachita, chifukwa cha nzeru zomwe aliyense amayenera kugawana nazo. Koma zofooka za kusonkhanitsa kumeneku sizikugwirizana ndi kudzudzula kwakufa-mzungu-mwamuna. Nzeru za anthu omwe si Azungu omwe sanapangepo kapena kuchita nkhondo akusowa pa nkhani iliyonse ya Kumadzulo kupeza njira yopezera mtendere - ngati kuti mtendere ndi nyumba yamalamulo kapena makompyuta. Pamene Einstein anafunsa Freud ngati mtendere unali zotheka, ndikanakonda iye akadafunsa Jean-Paul Sartre kapena Bertrand Russell, anthu omwe nthawi zonse sankasankha mtendere koma omwe akanapereka mlandu waukulu kuti n'zotheka. Zabwino kwambiri, mwina adafunsa Margaret Mead. Kuli bwino koposa, iye akanatha kuyang’ana ku magulu amene anachita zimenezo ndipo anali kuchita zimenezo, m’malo moyesa kutsimikizira chinachake chotheka m’chiphunzitso chimene chinangogwira ntchito m’zochita zosakhala Zachizungu.
Oganiza zamtendere anayi omwe akukambidwa, komabe, ndi osangalatsa komanso ofunikira, ngakhale kuti ndi ochepa. Tolstoy ndi womveka bwino komanso wosasunthika, koma amachokera ku chikhulupiriro chachipembedzo chomwe chilibe ntchito kwa aliyense amene sangathe kugawana nawo. Russell akuwoneka kuti ndi Tolstoy wadziko yemwe amatha kufotokozera nzeru zake, kupatula kuti Russell amangotsutsa "nkhondo zoyipa" - ngakhale amachita bwino kwambiri. Gandhi amatitengeranso ku zifukwa zachipembedzo zokana kupha anthu ambiri. Koma, mosasamala kanthu za zomwe Gandhi mwiniwake adanena, malingaliro ake ndi opangidwa mwachiwonekere m'malo monena kuti akubwereza miyambo yeniyeni ya ena kotero kuti otsatira ambiri awona kukhala kosavuta kulekanitsa zochita za Gandhi ndi chipembedzo cha Gandhi. Einstein akutitulutsanso muchipembedzo, koma kubwereranso ku zotsutsa pang'ono zankhondo. Kutsutsa kwa Einstein kunkhondo kunali wachibale.
Choncho, zitsanzo zinayi zonsezi zikuwoneka kuti zikusowa. Polankhula izi, ndikutanthauza kutchula zambiri momwe ndingathere ku maphunziro ogwiritsidwa ntchito omwe amuna anayi anaphunzitsa, osati ku miyoyo yawo monga anthu achitsanzo - ngakhale sindikunena kuti zinthu ziwirizi zikhoza kulekanitsidwa bwino. Monga momwe tawonera m'mabuku omwe atchulidwa pamwambapa, chidziwitso ndi malingaliro pa kuthetsa nkhondo zasintha. Choncho khalani ndi makhalidwe omwe timawatcha "nkhondo." Ndi mmenenso anthu ambiri amaonera nkhondo. Koma ndikukayikira kuti tikadakhala pamalo oyipa popanda kupita patsogolo komwe oganiza awa adathandizira.
Kumapeto kwa bukhu lake, Chingerezi chimalongosola Tolstoy monga kutsutsa nthano za nkhondo, Russell nthano za zifukwa za nkhondo, Gandhi nthano zachiwawa, ndi Einstein nthano za chitetezo. Izi ndi zolinga zomwe olemba awa atha kugwirira ntchito kwa nthawi yonse yomwe nthano zotere zikupitilirabe, zomwe munthu amayembekeza kuti sizofanana ndi kutalika kwa moyo wa mtundu wa anthu.
