Ndi Kristin Christman
Chochititsa chidwi ndi zochitika za apolisi a Ferguson ndi NYC ndi zaka za 60 zapitazo, zomwe zowonjezera zofalitsa zamasewero zikanakhala zikuwonetsa anthu akuda ngati amuna oopsa ndi apolisi monga maamboni odulidwa, kupulumutsa Amwenye kuntchito yabwino. Icho chikanakhala chipangizo cha topdog: Munthu wabwino ali ndi mphamvu ndi mphamvu.
Tsopano, ngakhale apolisi atapambana pa milandu, apolisi akhala akugwiriridwa ndi kuphedwa monga chikhalidwe cha anthu omwe ali ndi mphamvu tsopano: Amuna abwino alibe mphamvu ndi ulamuliro.
Komabe, maudindo onse omwe amachititsa kuti anthu asamakhulupirire choonadi komanso kuti awononge chidani komanso chiwawa. Wapolisi amawona anyamata wakuda ngati opanda kanthu koma wamwano wonyansa. Mnyamata wakuda akuwona wapolisi alibe kanthu koma wapamwamba wonyada. Chiyanjano chilichonse chimalepheretsa wina kuwona zabwino pamzake.
Zaka zapachiyambi za 60, kodi ambiri a ku America angaganizire ngakhale kupha anthu akuda ngati kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu mwamphamvu? Kapena kodi mawonekedwe awo apamwamba awapangitsa kuti asamangokhalira kulingalira za maganizo a munthu wakuda?
Talingalirani zomwe zimayambitsa mikangano yapadziko lonse. Kodi timatsogoleredwa kuti tikhulupirire kuti kufunika kwa US kupha kutipulumutsira ku zowonongeka? Kodi tingathe kuzindikira nkhondo za US, kupha usiku, kuphulika kwa uranium, white phosphorous, ndi kuzunzidwa ngati mphamvu yochulukirapo tikachiwona? Kodi palibe cholakwika cholakwika chimene chachitika kwa zikwi zambiri ndipo anthu mamiliyoni ambiri athawidwa ndi nkhondo za US? Kapena kodi timangoganizira zapamwamba kuti US ndiye mpolisi wabwino?
Ndipo kodi zigaŵenga, monga agogo, amaganiza kuti kupha anthu amtundu wankhanza ndizovomerezeka? Kodi Al Qaeda adawona omwe anaphedwa pa 9 / 11 monga chuma chokhazikitsidwa cha mtundu wa topdog? Kodi aliyense alibe ufulu wokhala ndi moyo?
Nchiyani chinawathandiza alonda a US kuti azunzirako akaidi ku Guantanamo ndi malo akuda? Nchiyani chinawathandiza a Nazi kuti atumize Ayuda ku zipinda zamagetsi, oyendetsa ndege ku United States kuti aphe anthu achi German, ana a Achipentekoste kuti akapolo a Amwenye Achimereka, kapena Mfumukazi Elizabeti kuti apite ku Ireland?
Nchiyani chinathandiza mamembala a KKK kuti apange lynch wakuda ndi azungu kuti awotche amatsenga? Nchiyani chimathandiza ena kuwomba akazi awo ndi ana awo, ISIS kupha midzi, ndi US kuti bomba ndi kulandira mayiko?
Mukamawerenga za anthu omwe amapha ndi kuvulaza, nthawi zambiri mumawona chinthu chomwe chimagwira ntchito: kutsimikizirika moona mtima kuti omvera awo ali m'gulu la anthu omwe ali otsika, osayenerera, owopsa, kapena oyipa komanso ntchito yake Mphamvu ndi yabwino - yopatulika. Nthawi zina mumapeza chikhulupiliro chakuti munthu amakhala wabwino pomvera malamulo, ngakhale ngati malamulo ali okhwima.
Nkhani zamatsenga zimatilimbikitsa kuti anthu oipa adziwe kuti maganizo awo ndi oipa. Choncho, ngati timamva bwino, ndife abwino. Koma kwenikweni, iwo omwe amachita zoipa nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi chikumbumtima choyera ndipo amamva kuti ali anthu olunjika. Ndi momwe anthu abwino amaonongeka kuti achite zoipa: malingaliro awo amawona zachiwawa ndi zoipa zawo ngati zabwino.
Pofuna kupewa kutseguka pansi pa chikumbumtima chosadziwika, pamene wina amakhulupirira kuti wina ndi wodetsedwa ngati woyenera kuukiridwa, kaya ndi wolemba malamulo wakuda, apolisi, Muslim militant, kapena mtolankhani wa ku America, atenge ngati chizindikiro chochenjeza kuti wina akhoza sanatenge chithunzi chonse. Dziwani kuti chikumbumtima chanu sichidali chodalirika panthawiyi; Zimapangitsa munthu kukhala ndi makhalidwe abwino, panthawi imodzimodziyo akulimbikitsa wina kutenga zolinga ndi moto.
Bwererani ku 1979 pamene a Irani anatenga Amwenye ku America. Sindikukumbukira kukumva kuti mkwiyo wa Iranian unachokera ku CIA ndikudutsitsa Pulezidenti wa Iran Mossadegh, kubwezeretsanso Shah, ndi kuphunzitsa mphamvu zake zachiwawa SAVAK. Muma? Ndimakumbukira mafilimu a TV omwe akuwonetsa a Irani okwiya akuwotcha ziphuphu za US. Tinawona choipa kwambiri, sewero, osati zifukwa, osati chithunzi chonse.
Tsopano tapatsidwa zowonjezereka zithunzi za a Mid-East awakwiya; tikuwona milandu yoopsa, yovulaza ya machitidwe oipa a ISIS. Koma kodi tikuwonetsedwa chithunzi chonse?
Kuopsa kwa chithunzithunzi chosakwanira ndi chakuti ngati timangoganizira zolakwika za mdani, sitimayang'anitsitsa zabwino zomwe zimagwirizanitsa ndipo nthawi zambiri timayamba kuchita zachiwawa. Monga Odysseus ndi Sinbad, timapha Cyclops, timadula mutu wa mfiti, tiwononge njoka, ndikutiyamikira tokha - popanda kufunsa ngati zochita zathu zinali zoipa.
Nthawi zina anthu amawoneka ngati odzaza ndi owuma, okonzeka kumangokhalira kukwiya podziwa munthu woipa: Ena amafunitsitsa kumupha Mkhristu chifukwa cha mwano ku Pakistani, amamuzunza mnzake chifukwa chophwanya lamulo, kapena kuzunzika akaidi ku US. Chifukwa chiyani ali wofunitsitsa? Nchifukwa chiyani njala yachindunji?
Mwina cholinga cha mkwiyo wa munthu chimakhala ngati malo osakondera, mkati mwa udani, mkwiyo, ndi mantha zomwe zingakhalepo mkati ngakhale popanda mkwiyo. Chifukwa cha kunyalanyaza kwathu, tingayankhe ndi mphamvu yambiri ndi chidani pazofuna zathu: chigawenga, apolisi, woswa malamulo, mwana.
Koma pamene timachita ndi mphamvu yochulukirapo, tikulola kuti ifeyo tisachite nawo zoipa; tikuika kusasamala mu mpando wa dalaivala ndikupereka mphuno za mphamvu.
Bwanji osagwira zabwino ndi kulola zabwino zomwe zili mkati mwathu zikhale ndi zabwino mwa iwo?
