Ndi Robert C. Koehler, Zodabwitsa Zowonongeka, March 24, 2021
Pamene munthu wotayika ayesa kudzipulumutsa yekha mu njira yaku America, zimakhala, nthawi zambiri. . . ife tonse tikudziwa izi. . . kupha anthu ambiri.
Mu sabata yapitayi kapena apo, pakhala pali ena awiri a iwo.
“Izi sizingakhale zachilendo zathu zonse. Tiyenera kumverera kuti tili otetezeka m'magolosale athu. Tiyenera kudzimva otetezeka m'masukulu athu, m'malo athu owonetsera makanema komanso mdera lathu. Tiyenera kuwona kusintha. ”
Nditayamba kuwona mawu awa ndi Congressman waku US Joe Neguse, yemwe chigawo chake chimaphatikizapo Boulder, Colorado, komwe kuli kuwomberako, ndidayamba kuwerenga molakwika chiganizo chomaliza ndikuganiza, Mulungu wanga, ukunena zowona. Tikufuna kusintha kwa nyanja!
Ndipo kusintha kwa nyanja kuli pafupi kupita kunkhondo. Kupha anthu ambiri ndi nkhondo. Monga fuko, tili ndi zida zokwanira ndikunyamula, inde, tili ndi nkhawa zamaganizidwe: okonzeka kumenya nkhondo ndi chilichonse ndi chilichonse, kunyumba ndi kunja. Madola triliyoni a bajeti yathu yapadziko lonse lapansi amaperekedwa chaka chilichonse kwa asitikali ankhondo kuti "ateteze," zida za nyukiliya, nkhondo yosatha. Onjezerani pa izi mtengo wa mfuti za miliyoni 400 za anthu wamba, zopezeka m'nyumba za nzika zaku America. Izi zimatchedwa mphamvu. Tili okonzekera zoyipa zilizonse zomwe zimawonekera. Kodi chingachitike ndi chiyani?
Robert Aaron Long, wokayikiridwayo womangidwa chifukwa chopha anthu asanu ndi atatu m'malo operekera kutikita minofu m'dera la Atlanta - wachinyamata wopembedza kwambiri yemwe adazunzidwa ndi chizolowezi chake chogonana - adawopa kuti apita ku gehena. Anali atangothamangitsidwa m'nyumba ya banja lawo ndipo amaganiza zodzipha. Kenako adaganiza zokamenya nkhondo yolimbana ndi mayesero m'malo mwake ndipo adagula mfuti ya 9 mm pamalo ogulitsa mfuti. Tsiku lomwelo, patangopita maola ochepa, adatsegula spa wina, kenako wina, kenanso wina. Anthu asanu ndi mmodzi mwa asanu ndi atatu omwe anaphedwa anali azimayi aku Asia.
Kodi chinali mlandu wachidani, makhothi adafunsa? Funso lotere limawoneka ngati loopsa kwa ine - ngati kuti kupha munthu kumakhala koipa kwambiri ngati wakuphayo amakhalanso ndi malingaliro oyipa. Mukudziwa, kusankhana mitundu. Ndikumva, komabe. Uku ndikuyesera kuyika zochita za wakuphayo mumtundu wina, kuti titha kumvetsetsa chifukwa chake zidachitika. Vuto ndiloti malingaliro omwe akukhudzidwa pano ndi achinyengo.
Kusankhana mitundu mwina kapena mwina sikunakhale cholinga, koma mphamvu yoyendetsa zomwe wakuphayo anali kuchita inali yozama kwambiri - komanso yofala - kuposa pamenepo. Umenewu unali mlandu wotsutsana ndi umunthu. Umunthu wa ozunzidwawo udachotsedwa. Mwadzidzidzi zidangokhala zizindikilo za cholakwika chomwe chimawoneka, zilizonse zomwe zingakhale zolakwika, ndipo zimayenera kuchotsedwa kuti dziko likhale malo abwinoko.
Zikumveka bwino? Mawu ena oti izi apita kunkhondo. Chofunika cha nkhondo ndichachisoni, koma zachidziwikire ndiye ndizofunikira.
Kupha kukachitika munkhondo, sikuti ndikupha. Aliyense amadziwa izi! Ndizofunikira. Omwe timawapha pankhondo ndi mdani (kapena kuwonongeka kwa ngongole, koma kufa kwawo ndi vuto la mdani). Kufunikira kwa nkhondo ndi nthano yolumikizana yadziko; amafunsidwa kokha m'mphepete mwake. Ku likulu ladziko, amakondwerera ndikupatsidwa moni:
“. . . Ndiye kugonjetsa tiyenera, pomwe cholinga chathu ndichabwino,
Ndipo ichi ndicho lingaliro lathu: 'Timakhulupirira Mulungu.'
Ndipo mbendera yokhotakhota nyenyezi mchigonjetso idzagwedezeka
O'er malo aulere ndi nyumba ya olimba mtima! ”
Kusinkhasinkha nyimbo yafuko imapatsa munthu lingaliro lakusintha kwamadzi komwe kuyenera kutsuka m'dziko la mfulu ndi nyumba ya olimba mtima. M'dziko loterolo, mphamvu zimakhalapo makamaka molumikizana ndi mdani. Ndipo nthawizonse pamakhala mdani, woyembekezera, wobisalira, wokonzeka kuti amenyane. Mwanjira ina, mwanjira ina. . . tiyenera, osati monga fuko koma monga nzika zapadziko lonse lapansi, kubala nthano yatsopano: nthano yomwe imakondwerera kumvetsetsa, kulumikizana ndikusintha, m'malo mopambana. Izi zikutanthauza kuyesa kumvetsetsa ngakhale munthu yemwe wapha anthu ambiri.
Mwachidziwikire, iyi si ntchito yosavuta. Kodi ndizochuluka kufunsa ngakhale zachipembedzo?
Tchalitchi cha Robert Aaron Long, a Nkhanu First Baptist Church, ya Milton, Ga., Idatulutsa mawu pambuyo pake, yomwe idawoneka ngati ili ndi mfundo imodzi yoyamba kunena: Iye siife!
Mawuwo akuti, "Palibe mlandu, womwe ungasungidwe kwa omwe akuzunzidwa. Iye yekha ndiye amene amachititsa zoyipa ndi zokhumba zake. Amayi omwe adawapempha kuti agone nawo si omwe amachititsa zolakwa zawo zakugonana ndipo alibe mlandu pa kupha kumeneku. Izi zachitika chifukwa cha mtima wochimwa komanso malingaliro olakwika omwe Aaron akuwayimbira. ”
Kuwopsya kwa kupha kumeneku sikungatsutsike. Koma kuwaika pagulu limodzi sikungachepetse udindo wakuphayo pazomwe amachita; zimangokulitsa kukula kwa kuthekera kwathu kuti timvetsetse. Nkhondo ndi mawu enanso oti amapha munthu, koma ndi liwu linanso lofuna kudzichotsera umunthu. Sitimangomenya nkhondo, timakondwerera. Timayimba za izi. Ndizosadabwitsa kuti miyoyo yambiri yotayika yomwe ikuyesera kuti ikalandire miyoyo yawo ikulandila nthano iyi ndikulongosola mavuto awo kupitirira iwo eni, ndikupeza mfuti.
Pasanathe sabata kuchokera kuphedwa komwe kudachitika m'malo atatuwa, wachinyamata wina adawombera mfuti m'sitolo yayikulu ya Boulder. Iye anapha anthu khumi.
Moyo umapitilira.
