Apo vatevedzeri vehurumende vakamuudza kuti iye achiri kukwanisa kurwisana, akakurudzira mutambi wemubhokisi iyeye kumusvitsa mumhino zvakare. Akakundikana yechipiri chepanyama-sevhesi yakatsauka yaireva musoja aisagona kupfeka gasi masikisi.
Ini ndinobva ku "dhavha uye chivigiro" chizvarwa. Takadzidziswa kuchikoro kuti kuvanza pasi pemadhoroki edu uye kuvhara misoro yedu kwaizotiponesa kubva bhomba!
Ndakanga ndisiri mukomana akapandukira. Kupikira kutendeseka kumureza ndiyo chikonzero chikonzero ndinosarudza kubva kurudyi kubva kuruboshwe. Asi, pakubatana neCub Scouts, kuonekwa pamusangano kutora chibvumirano, ndaiziva kuti ndisingagoni kupfeka yunifomu uye kutevera mirairo; Ndakakanda pasi pini yangu mukunyangadza uye ndakagadzika kubva pachigamba.
Ndakanga ndiri 13 mu1963, apo National Committee yeSANE Nuclear Policy yakafamba nomunharaunda yangu yeNutley, New Jersey, inotungamirirwa nevechidiki Dr. Benjamin Spock (1903-1998). Ndakaverenga leaflet yaEANE pamusoro pekuparadzwa pamwe chete.

Kubva panguva ino, ndakaverenga zvose zvandaigona kuwana pamusoro peHiroshima neNagasaki, uye kuongorora zvombo zvenyukireya. Ndakatanga kudzidza mutauro wechiJapane mugore rakatevera kuitira kuti ndiswedere pedyo neiyo nyaya uye utsotsi hwakaipa iyo America yakanga yaita kuJapan uye pasi.
Shamwari dzemhuri dzakandidzidzisa kuMusangano weChinyararire wekunamatira wekunamatira uye uchapupu hwavo hweugare, achiona Chiedza mumunhu wese. Quakers ichechi yechechi yorugare asi shamwari dzangu dzakange dzisiri dzechitendero, uye handizvo I. Izvo hazvina kutora zvakanyanya kufanana nezera 14 kusarudza kuti handisi kuzonyora kuVietnam.
Zvinyorwa zvisiri izvo, kubvumirana kunopa zvokudya zvehondo. Kana iwe usingatendi muhondo, unofanira kuramba urongwa.
Yakanga iri nguva ino ini ndakatanga kuramba kubhadhara mitero yehondo kubva mubasa rangu remazuva. Izvi zvaitungamirira zvine musoro kuti uve mhuka yezvinomera: Kana ndikasauraya, sei ndichifanira kubhadhara mumwe munhu kuti aite kundiuraya kwangu. Ndakanga ndisingazivi vadyari vemizambiringa; Ini ndakanga ndisati ndambonzwa nezvimwe asi yaiva mubvunzo wekuita basa rekusurukirwa kwandiri. Ndichiri mudyari nhasi.

Boka duku redu, kusanganisira Dr. Spock, rakasungwa zuva iro rekuvhara masuo emapakati. Ndakanga ndiri, zvisinei, ndakatsunga kuti ndaisazombotora kadhi yekupisa. Ndakaita, zvisinei, ndinoshamwaridzana nechiito ichi choga chekupandukira apo imwe yemapurisa mazano akandipa chipo chake!
