Ndemanga zoperekedwa pa Novembala 11th:
Patsikuli, zaka 75 zapitazo, mgwirizano wamtendere udasainidwa womaliza WWII, kuyambira pomwe, patsikuli, tikukumbukira ndikulemekeza mamiliyoni a asirikali ndi anthu wamba omwe adamwalira mu Nkhondo Yadziko I ndi II; ndipo mamiliyoni ndi mamiliyoni enanso omwe adamwalira, kapena miyoyo yawo yawonongeka, pankhondo zoposa 250 kuyambira pa WWII. Koma kukumbukira omwe adamwalira sikokwanira.
Tiyeneranso kutenga tsiku lino kutsimikizira kudzipereka kwathu ku Mtendere. Nov 11 poyamba amatchedwa Armistice Day - tsiku loyenera kukondwerera Mtendere. Timaiwala izi sichoncho? Lero ndawerenga Globe and Mail, kuphimba kuti ndiphimbe masamba khumi ndi m'modzi omwe adakambirana za Chikumbutso, koma sindinapezepo mawu amodzi mwamtendere.
Inde, tikufuna kulemekeza kukumbukira kwa omwe adamwalira. Koma tisaiwale kuti nkhondo ndi tsoka, tsoka lomwe sitikufuna kutamanda m'makanema athu komanso m'mabuku athu azakale komanso m'malo athu okumbukira zakale komanso m'malo athu osungira zakale komanso masiku athu okumbukira. Pamene tikupita patsogolo ndikulakalaka kwathu Mtendere kuti tikufuna kukhala pafupi ndi mitima yathu ndipo ndi Mtendere womwe tikufuna kugwiritsa ntchito mwayi uliwonse kuti tikondwere.
Anthu akamanyalanyaza kunena kuti "nkhondo ndi chibadwa cha anthu" kapena "nkhondo ndiyosapeweka", tiyenera kuwauza AYI - kusamvana kungakhale kosapeweka koma kugwiritsa ntchito Nkhondo kuthana ndi chisankho. Titha kusankha mosiyana ngati tikuganiza mosiyana.
Kodi mumadziwa kuti mayiko omwe angasankhe nkhondo ndi omwe ali ndi ndalama zambiri zankhondo. Samadziwa china chilichonse kupatula usilikari. Pofotokoza mwachidule Abraham Maslow, "Zonse zomwe muli nazo ndi mfuti, chilichonse chikuwoneka ngati chifukwa chogwiritsira ntchito". Sitingayang'anenso mbali inayo ndikulola kuti izi zichitike. Nthawi zonse pamakhala zosankha zina.
Amalume anga a Fletcher atamwalira ali ndi zaka za m'ma 80, bambo anga, ochepera zaka ziwiri, adalankhula pachikumbutso chawo. Ndinadabwa kwambiri bambo atayamba kulankhula, molimba mtima, za WWII. Zikuwoneka kuti iye ndi amalume Fletcher anali atasaina limodzi, ndipo adakanidwa limodzi, chifukwa cha kusawona bwino.
Koma bambo anga osadziwa, amalume anga a Fletcher adachoka, naloweza tchati cha maso kenako adalembetsa. Adatumizidwa kukamenya nkhondo ku Italy, ndipo sanabwerere munthu yemweyo. Adawonongeka - tonsefe timadziwa izi. Koma zinali zowonekeratu kwa ine, monga abambo amalankhulira, kuti samaganiza kuti anali ndi mwayi. Amalume Fletcher anali ngwazi, ndipo abambo anali atataya mwayi.
Uku ndiye kuganiza komwe tiyenera kusintha. Palibe chosangalatsa chokhudza nkhondo. Patsamba 18 la Globe lamasiku ano wankhondo walongosola za kuwukiridwa kwa Italy, komwe amalume anga adamenya nkhondo, "Matanki, mfuti zamakina, moto… Anali Gahena".
Chifukwa chake lero, pamene tikulemekeza mamiliyoni omwe adamwalira kunkhondo, tiyeni titsimikizirenso kudzipereka kwathu pakusankha MTENDERE. Titha kuchita bwino ngati tikudziwa bwino.
