PaManheru eKisimusi 1914, masoja eGermany neBritain akabuda mumigero yawo, akatamba nhabvu pamwe chete, achipanana zvipo zvezvokudya, uye akabatana mukuimba nziyo. Vavhundutswa, vakuru vemauto kumativi ose vakanyevera nezvemhosva yoku“shamwaridzana nemuvengi” uye hondo yaizoenderera mberi kwemamwe makore mana, kwete kungouraya mamiriyoni chete asi kutanga nhandare yehondo yenyika inotevera makumi maviri emakore gare gare.
Kubva pakuona kwakachengeteka kwezana ramakore idzva, varwi ivavo vakaedza kusvika murunyararo kune mumwe nemumwe vanoita sevane pfungwa uye vechokwadi, nepo kuona kumashure kunoratidza vatungamiriri vavo kuti vakatambura nerudzi rwechirwere chepfungwa chinobva mukuomerera zvakanyanya kune zvisingaite semureza, nyika uye kukunda zvachose.
Makore zana gare gare zvinoita sekuti taizoda kunzwira tsitsi nyaya yeKisimusi mumakomba pane kuishandisa sechiyero chehutano hwedu hwepfungwa. Munzira yatinofunga nayo nezvehondo, vazhinji vedu tinotambura zvakaenzana neboka reschizophrenia, rakaitwa kuti rive nengozi zvikuru nekuvapo kwezvombo zvenyukireya zvakasanganiswa nekunyepedzera kwekukunda.
Vanofambira mberi vanofarira kufadza vadi vehondo vari pachena pakati pedu, vezvematongerwo enyika vakarasika vasina vavengi vekupomera kana mapundits anotengesa mune zvisina kufanira polarizing stereotypes. Asi tinofanira kubvuma danda riri muziso redu sezvatinonongedzera rubanzu ruri mune ravo. Nenzira inosuruvarisa, avo vanoedza zvakaoma zvikuru kuti vanzwisise kupenga kwehondo vanogona kutsvedza kupinda muhondo. Vatsinhanisi, kunyangwe vakasununguka, vachida kuratidzika kuva vane njere uye vane chokwadi nekuratidza ruzivo rwavo rwakakwana rwemapato ese ari muhondo dzakaoma seuyo ari kugaya izvozvi muSyria neIraq, vanokukurwa kubva pachokwadi chakakosha chekuti hondo yevagari iripo. hazvina musoro sehondo yehondo pakati peBritish nemaGerman makore zana apfuura. Tichibvuma zvakadzikama sarudzo dzakaipa, tinosarudza kubva kure kuti ndiani webhomba uye kuti ndiani wekutengesa zvombo, tichingokuchidzira mhirizhonga.
Hurukuro ine utano hwepfungwa pamusoro pehondo ipi neipi yepasi pano inoda mamiriro ezvinhu akavakirwa mutsika dzakatsanangurwa uye dzakararama nembiru dzoungwaru saJesu, Gandhi, naMartin Luther King Jr. Vatungamiriri ava vaiziva kuti kuuraya hakupedzi chinhu uye kuti mweya wokutsiva unotanga. kutenderera kunongotungamira kukuwedzera kuuraya.
"Realists" vanozopindura kuti fungidziro yaJesu neshamwari zvese zvakanaka asi kana tasundirwa tinofanira kusunda kumashure. Iyi fungidziro yakakosha, senge isingagone kuramba uye nguva dzose ichitaura nezveuber-case yaHitler, inova ine mubvunzo kana uchitarisa kupenga karma yemhinduro yeAmerica ku9-11-01. Vatungamiri vedu vakaburitsa rukova rwe squid-inki yakaedza kusvibisa Saddam neal-Qaeda apo vazhinji vevapari vemhosva vaive zvisingaite Saudi uye hapana muIraq. Mazhinji emhirizhonga yakatevera muIraq neSyria, pamwe nekubva kwedu kunotyisa mukupenga kwekurwadzisa, zvakabuda mumanyepo ekutanga aya, achiri asina kurangwa.
Chiedza chenhau chinozivisa kuti hondo dzinowanzoratidzira chisakiso icho chine chokuita nemativi ose—sezvatinoziva kubva mukunzvera kuti chiitiko chaHitler chakanga chiri muuyo wakananga wemasimba anobatanidzwa akakundikana kuratidzira mudzimu woukuru kuGermany yakakurirwa apo Hondo yeNyika 1 yakapera muna. 1918. Chirongwa cheMarshall chakaratidza kutsunga kwakabatana kusadzokorora chikanganiso chimwe chetecho muna 1945, uye mugumisiro wacho wakanga uri kugadzikana muEurope kuripo nanhasi.
Pane zvikonzero zvinoshanda zvatinotsaura mazororo okukudza Jesu naMambo, nokuti tinoziva kuti varume ava vakadzidzisa nzira bedzi inobvira kupfuura denda rehondo—kunzwisisa kuti tiri mhuri imwe chete yavanhu. Vaya varwi vekare mumigero vakava neushingi hwekumuka kubva mukupenga kwe "nyika yangu zvakanaka kana zvakaipa" uye vakaedza kubatanidza zvakangoerekana zvaitika pamwe chete pamwero wemwoyo. Kana vatapi venhau nevaturikiri vaigona kuramba vaine hunhu hunoreva kuti kuuraya kwese kupenga, kuti kutengeswa kwezvombo kunowedzera kuuraya kwakadaro kunonyadzisa pasi rose, kuti hondo inogara iri kutadza kwemapato ese kupokana kuti arege kutsvedza mukupenga kwekufungidzira kwevavengi, zvichida mamiriro okunze matsva aizosikwa—chimiro chakanaka chokudziya kwepasi.
