Ukuvuka eHalifax namhlanje kuvusa enye into yokwenyani.

Ndibukele nje i-Cape Bretoner uMary Janet bebhaka i-butterscotch pie ngelixa ukubulawa kwabantu kusenzeka ngaphandle kwekhitshi. Kwakukho isithonga sokudubula kwiindawo ezisemaphandleni zeli phondo.

Ifoto yegosa elincinci nelikhanyayo igosa le-RCMP libambe izandla zabantwana ababini, likhokelela kwigumbi lokufundela labantwana elijongisa kwiscreen. Kancinci inqanaba lokudubula kusasazeka njengegazi lamaxhoba, kuphalala ngapha koko kuthi.

Singayiqonda njani into eyenzekayo? Singasibeka njani esi senzo singekho ngqondo sobundlobongela ecaleni kwenkathalo ejikeleze thina ngobubele? Ngaba sesinye isiganeko sokubulawa kwabasetyhini? Ngaba uza kuphinda ubonise omnye ubhubhane oqhubekayo kulo mhlaba uthandekayo? Ngaba yayisesinye isenzo sobukhosi obumhlophe? Ngubani ophuhlisa iyeza lokuthintela ukuqhubeka nogonyamelo olusuka ekungakhathalelweni luthando, ukuya ekuxhuzuleni ngokudubula kwabantu abaninzi ngokubulala?

Imibuzo yethu inokubonakala yahlukile, kodwa umbuzo, kufuneka. Njengoko imini iqhubeka kwaye iintsapho zilila, ukukhangelwa kwimithombo yeendaba, abezopolitiko bephendula kwaye abahlali bekhathazeka, wenze ntoni? Ndaziva ndilahlekile, kodwa ekugqibeleni ndaxakeka. Ndiphulukene nesabelo sam sokuqala kwikhosi ekwi-intanethi enikezelwa yi World Beyond War. Umbuzo endinokuphendula kuwo wawusithi: “Zeziphi iingxoxo ozifumanayo zinyanzelisa ukungavisisani njengenye indlela yobundlobongela?”

Nantsi into endiyibhalileyo: Uxolo olusebenzayo kunye nokusesikweni sisiseko sokunganyani. Masiqale apho sikhoyo. Ndifuna ukwamkela ukuba ndibhala ndisuka kumhlaba ongabanjiswanga wookhokho babantu baseMi'kmaq bezinze kubudlelwane obuqhubekayo phakathi kwezizwe ngoxolo kunye nobuhlobo.

Izolo, apha eNova Scotia, eyona ndawo yadubula abantu baninzi kwimbali yaseCanada kwaye abantu abali-18 bafa ngobundlobongela. Impikiswano yam yokungaxhathisi okungenanto ikwenza oko. Ithetha ngenxa yezixhobo eziyifunayo - intliziyo, izwi kunye nolwimi. Izixhobo zobundlobongela azivuleli indawo. Ubundlobongela bumphelisa incoko. Akukho sithuba sencoko yababini ekupheleni kompu okanye, ngalo mbandela, ekupheleni kokufumana itsheki yesitalato. Ukuphatha umpu, ibhombu yenyukliya, intonga yobundlongondlongo, nokuba iyintoni na, kugqitha umzuzu wotshintsho olunokwenzeka. Akukho sithuba sothethathethwano, iimbono zabasetyhini kunye "nawo onke amazwi etafileni."

Ukuxhathisa okungahambisani nayo ayithathi, kuyanika. Ubundlobongela obenziwa kulebhola yoMhlaba evuyisa, inika ubomi, bufundise kwaye busilondoloze-ukuba ubundlobongela busoyikisa ukuthatha, ukucima kunye nokutshayela amaphupha abantwana bethu.

Ukungathathi ntweni kukuphindaphindana nokungaphumeleli. Izenzo zobundlobongela zizenzo zokusilela. Apha, umntu owabulala ngokungacwangciswanga wabeka usizi kunye nokudideka kwisithuba sokukhathalela ukuhluma kwiindawo zethu zokuhlala zodwa.

Ukungaphili isenzo sesimo sengcinga-ubundlobongela yindawo yokulinganiselwa komntu.

Ukuxhathisa okungahambisani nokuvela kuyavela, ukufumana iindlela ezintsha zokuchasa. UMlondolozi ubonakalisa indlela ubhubhani oqhubeka ngayo kuthi ukhulisa uluhlu lwenzondelelo. Ezi ndlela zintsha zokuxhathisa zenza ukuba banzi ngaphambili kwesenzo kunye nohlu lokuqokelela. Ubundlobongela ngabantu abakhethekileyo - ukuhlala kwiiholo ezimnyama zokuthand 'izwe kunye nobungqola butsala umnqweno wokufuna amandla-ngenene yinkqubo yokulamba.

Yeyiphi enye indlela kwizenzo ezingenzi milo? Yintoni esiyikhethayo ukuba asilamkeli ubundilele? Esi sisitshixo. Enye indlela yehlabathi lokungaziphathi kakuhle kunye nobulungisa ihlala ingqengqele kwinkampu yeembaleki, iyodwa kwaye iyabanda kwaye yoyika. Olunye uhlobo lokungaphili lufa kwizitalato zedolophu ezolileyo enombane wobuso babantwana bakhe phambi kwamehlo akhe aqaqambe ngxi. Enye into enokubhukuda ngohlobo lokugqibela lokugqibela kwedorsali kumanzi amdaka ecaleni kwemigodi yegolide kunye nesanti yesanti.

Njengoko uGorbachev ebhale ngobulumko, "Imfazwe iyasilela" kwaye, njengababhinqileyo nengcinezelo, ibamba ubundlobongela obuqhubeka bukholisa umoya wokuphelelwa lithemba.
