Kuyambira zaka zanga za 20, ndakhala ndikukondwera ndi mtendere (mtendere wamkati ndi mtendere wapadziko lonse) ndi chidziwitso (zanga komanso zakunja). Ndinali ndi maphunziro a ubongo wamanzere ndi njira ya ntchito yamakampani (madigiri a masamu, physics, ndi sayansi ya makompyuta otsatiridwa ndi maudindo osiyanasiyana a kasamalidwe ka ntchito ndi machitidwe). Koma ndinali ndi liwu laling’ono mkati mwa kundiuza kuti iyi sinali ntchito ya moyo wanga. Pambuyo pa zaka 19 za moyo wamakampani, ndinasintha ndipo pamapeto pake ndinayambitsa kampani yanga yomwe ikupereka utsogoleri ndi kumanga timu kumagulu amakampani. Ndinayambitsa magulu anga ku Enneagram ngati njira yomvetsetsa mitundu yosiyanasiyana ya utsogoleri. Chifukwa Enneagram ndi dongosolo lomvetsetsa umunthu komwe mumapeza malo anu malinga ndi zomwe mumakumana nazo mkati (zochita zanu zoganiza, kumverera, ndi kuzindikira), osati khalidwe lanu lakunja, zokambiranazi zinali magalimoto "okweza chidziwitso" kwa anthu onse komanso gulu.
Kenako, chaka chapitacho, ndinamvera a mkangano pakati pa Pete Kilner ndi David Swanson ngati pali chinthu chonga "basi” nkhondo. Ndinaona kuti udindo wa Davide unali wolimbikitsa kwambiri. Ndinayamba kufufuza kwanga kuti nditsimikizire ndekha zomwe ndimamva ndipo ndinapita ku misonkhano iwiri yamtendere: Msonkhano wa Rotary International pa Kumanga Mtendere (June 2018) kumene ndinagwirizanitsa ndi ntchito ya Institute for Economics and Peace; ndi Msonkhano wa WBW (Sept 2018), komwe ndidalumikizana ndi chilichonse chomwe wina ananena! Ndinapitiliza kutenga maphunziro a pa intaneti a War Abolition 101 ndikutsatira maulalo onse ndi ulusi pamene maphunzirowo akupita patsogolo.
WBW imandilimbikitsa chifukwa imayang'ana kwathunthu kukhazikitsidwa kwankhondo komanso chikhalidwe chankhondo. Tiyenera kusamutsa kuzindikira kwathu pamodzi ku chikhalidwe chamtendere. Sindikufuna kutsutsa nkhondo iyi kapena nkhondo imeneyo. Ndikufuna kukweza maganizo a anthu - munthu mmodzi panthawi, gulu limodzi panthawi, dziko limodzi - kuti asalolenso nkhondo ngati njira yothetsera mikangano. Ndine wothokoza kwambiri kwa WBW chifukwa cha luntha lodabwitsa komanso chidziwitso chomwe chandipatsa, chidziwitso ndi chitsogozo chomwe chimandipatsa momwe ndingalankhulire izi ndi anthu ena, komanso kufulumira komwe kumabweretsa kuthana ndi zomwe ndimawona kuti ndi #1 patsogolo pa dziko lathu lapansi.

Ine ndi mwamuna wanga tinaganiza zoyamba kuyankhula ndi anthu - timagulu tating'ono m'nyumba mwathu. Nthawi zambiri tinkayamba kukambirana ngati nkhondo ingakhale yolungama, ndipo, monga ine, anthu ambiri amapita ku WWII nthawi yomweyo. Kenako tinayang'ana mtsutso ndipo anthu ambiri adayamba kukayikira malingaliro awo. Tidakhala nawo pafupifupi khumi ndi awiri mwamisonkhanoyi, ndipo, pamene anthu ochulukirachulukira adatenga nawo gawo, tidalumikizana ndi lingaliro lokhala South Georgian Bay Chapter World BEYOND War. Zofunikira zathu zoyamba zitha kukhala kufalitsa ndi maphunziro, kufunsa anthu kuti asayine mtendere, ndikupanga chochitika cholimbikitsa, chophunzitsa komanso chosangalatsa pa Tsiku la Mtendere Padziko Lonse pa Seputembara 21. Kwa nthawi yayitali, tikukonzekera kukonza mndandanda wankhani zokamba za alendo ophunzitsa, ndikuthandizira kukonza Msonkhano wa #NoWar2020 ku Ottawa.
Tinali ndi anthu 20 pamsonkhano wathu wotsegulira mu June ndipo chisangalalo chinali chowonekera! Presto - komiti yokonzekera zochitika zathu za Tsiku la Mtendere Padziko Lonse linadzisonkhanitsa: Charlie, ndi chidziwitso chake chokonzekera zochitika za nyimbo kwa zikwi za anthu; Ralph, ndi mbiri yake mu gawo lamagetsi la Ontario komanso kasamalidwe kake kadekha; Dunc, ndi luso lake laukadaulo ndi nyimbo komanso zida zonse zomwe timafunikira kwa oimba athu; Bridget, yemwe ali ndi mbiri ya Quaker komanso njira wamba; Ava, ndi chidziwitso chake cha machiritso ndi chifundo chake kwa ena; RoseMary, ndi ukatswiri wake wa kasamalidwe ka kampani komanso zomwe adakumana nazo poyendetsa 100+ Women Who Care SGB; Annie, ndi mbiri yake pazakulumikizana ndi malonda, komanso luso lake la "kutulutsa mawu;" ndi Kaylyn, yemwe adapereka luso lake lalikulu popanga zida zathu zotsatsa komanso chiwonetsero champhamvu cha mphindi 30 chomwe titha kupereka kumagulu akulu. Ndipo mamembala athu ena onse (opitilira 40 tsopano) omwe amabweretsa luso lawo ndi chidwi chosintha dziko lathu kukhala lamtendere. Ndimasangalatsidwa ndi luso komanso kudzipereka kwa mamembala athu!
Kodi malingaliro anu apamwamba kwa wina amene akufuna kuti alowe nawo ndi WBW ndi chiyani?
Ingochitani. Zilibe kanthu ngati simukudziwa momwe mungathandizire. Mfundo yakuti mukudziŵa mwamsanga kuthetsa kukhazikitsidwa kwa nkhondo ndikokwanira. Zodziwika bwino zidzamveka bwino pamene mukukhudzidwa kwambiri. Pitirizani kuwerenga. Pitirizani kuphunzira. Ndipo lankhulani ndi anthu ambiri momwe mungathere. Ndi kukambirana kulikonse kumamveka bwino.
Nchiyani chimakupangitsani inu kuti muzilimbikitsira kuti mulimbikitse kusintha?
Ndili ndi njira zingapo zomwe ndimagwiritsa ntchito kuti ndikhale wolimbikitsidwa. Nthawi zina ndimakhumudwa chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa zomwe tikufuna kukwaniritsa, kapena kukhumudwitsidwa ndi kusasamala kwa ena. Ngati ndidzipeza nthawi, ndimangosintha malingaliro omwe akundigwetsa pansi, ndikudzikumbutsa za changu cha masomphenya athu. Kusinkhasinkha kwanga kumandithandizanso, monganso kuthera nthawi m'chilengedwe (nthawi zambiri kukwera mapiri kapena kayaking). Ndipo nthawi zonse ndimakhala ndi mphamvu ndikakhala ndi anthu amalingaliro ofanana.
Anthu ambiri aku Canada amati “Timakhala ku Canada. Malinga ndi mfundo za dziko, ndife kale dziko lamtendere. Tikhala tikuchita chiyani kuchokera pano?" Yankho ndi lodziwikiratu - ZAMBIRI! Ndi chidziwitso chathu chophatikizana chomwe chatifikitsa pano. Kudekha kwathu ndi gawo la izo. Tonse tili ndi udindo wothandiza kusintha dziko lathu kukhala chikhalidwe chamtendere.
