Amagqabantshintshi aziswe nge-11 kaNovemba:
Ngale mini, kwiminyaka engama-75 eyadlulayo, isivumelwano soxolo satyikitywa siphelisa iWWII, kwaye ukusukela, ngalo mhla, sikhumbula kwaye sihlonipha izigidi zamajoni kunye nabahlali abasweleka kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala neyesiBini; kunye nezigidi kunye nezigidi ezithe zafa, okanye ubomi babo babhujiswa, kwiimfazwe ezingaphezu kwama-250 ukusukela nge-WWII. Kodwa ukukhumbula abo bafa akwanele.
Kuya kufuneka sithathe olu suku ukuqinisekisa ukuzibophelela kwethu kuXolo. U-Novemba 11 wayebizwa ngokuba nguSuku lweArmistice-usuku lwaluthetha ukubhiyozela uxolo. Siyalibala ukuba akunjalo? Namhlanje ndifunde iGlobe kunye neMeyile, ukugquma ukugubungela amaphepha alishumi elinanye athethe ngoKhumbula, kodwa andifumananga nelinye igama likaXolo.
Ewe sifuna ukuhlonipha inkumbulo yabo bafa. Kodwa masingalibali ukuba imfazwe yintlekele, intlekele esingafuni ukuyizukisa kwiimuvi zethu nakwiincwadi zethu zembali nakwizikhumbuzo zethu nakwiimyuziyam zethu nakwiintsuku zethu zokuKhumbula. Njengoko sisiya phambili ngumnqweno wethu woXolo esifuna ukuwubamba usondele entliziyweni yethu kwaye luxolo esifuna ukuthatha lonke ithuba ukubhiyozela.
Xa abantu behlikihla kwaye besithi "imfazwe yimvelo yoluntu" okanye "imfazwe ayinakuphepheka", kufuneka sibaxelele ukuba HAYI - ungquzulwano lunokungaphepheki kodwa ukusebenzisa iMfazwe ukuyisombulula kukhetho. Singakhetha ngokwahlukileyo ukuba sicinga ngokwahlukileyo.
Ngaba uyazi ukuba amazwe anakho ukukhetha imfazwe ngalawo aneyona mali inkulu kwezomkhosi. Abazi enye into ngaphandle komkhosi. Ukucacisa u-Abraham Maslow, "Xa unakho konke umpu, yonke into ijongeka njengesizathu sokuyisebenzisa". Asinakuphinda sijonge kwelinye icala kwaye sivumele oku ukuba kwenzeke. Kuhlala kukho ezinye iindlela onokukhetha kuzo.
Xa uMalume uFletcher wasweleka kwiminyaka yakhe yama-80, uTata wam, emncinci ngeminyaka emibini, wathetha kwisikhumbuzo sakhe. Ndothuka kakhulu uTata waqalisa ukuthetha, ngewist, malunga neWWII. Kuyabonakala ukuba, yena noMalume Fletcher babesayine kunye, kwaye banqatshelwa kunye, ngenxa yokungaboni kakuhle.
Kodwa engazi uTata wam, uMalume uFletcher wemka, wacengceleza itshathi yamehlo emva koko wabhalisa ngempumelelo. Wayethunyelwe ukuba alwe e-Italiya, kwaye akazange abuye kwangalo mntu. Wayonakalisiwe-sonke sasiyazi loo nto. Kodwa yayicacile kum, njengokuba utata wayethetha, ukuba wayengacingi ukuba ubenethamsanqa. UMalume Fletcher wayeliqhawe, kwaye uTata ngandlel 'ithile waphulukana nozuko.
Le yindlela yokucinga ekufuneka siyitshintshe. Akukho nto intle malunga nemfazwe. Kwiphepha le-18 leGlobe yanamhlanje igqala lichaza ukuhlasela kwe-Italiya, apho umalume wam walwa khona, “Iitanki, oombayimbayi, umlilo… YayiyiSihogo”.
Ke namhlanje, njengoko sihlonipha izigidi ezife emfazweni, masikwangqinele ukuzibophelela kwethu ekukhetheni UXOLO. Sinokwenza ngcono ukuba siyazi ngcono.
UKUZALWA
Ngopoppy obomvu, sihlonipha ngaphezulu kwama-2,300,000 118,000 amaKhanadi asebenze emkhosini kwimbali yesizwe sethu nangaphezulu kwe-XNUMX eye yanikela ngeyona ndlela.
Ngomhlophe omhlophe, sikhumbula abo basebenze emkhosini kunye nezigidi zabantu abaye bafa emfazweni, izigidi zabantwana abaye benziwa iinkedama yimfazwe, izigidi zababaleki abaye bashiya amakhaya abo ngenxa yemfazwe, kunye nomonakalo onobungozi wokusingqongileyo kwemfazwe. Sizibophelela eluxolweni, sihlala sinoxolo, kwaye sibuza imikhwa yenkcubeko yaseCanada, siyazi okanye kungenjalo, ukuyonwabisa okanye ukubhiyozela imfazwe.
Ngamana le ngubo ebomvu neyomhlophe ingabonakalisa onke amathemba ethu kwihlabathi elikhuselekileyo nelinoxolo.
