Sizokwazi ukuthi sikuzuzile ukuthula lapho umhlaba uphephile kubo bonke abantwana. Bazodlala ngokukhululeka ngaphandle kweminyango, bangalokothi bakhathazeke ngokucosha amabhomu eqoqo noma ngama-drones abhuza phezulu. Kuyoba nemfundo enhle kubo bonke kuze kufike lapho bekwazi ukuya khona. Izikole zizobe ziphephile futhi zikhululekile ekwesabeni. Umnotho uzoba nempilo, ukhiqize izinto eziwusizo kunezinto ezicekela phansi ukusetshenziswa, futhi uzikhiqize ngezindlela ezisimeme. Ngeke ibe khona imboni yokushiswa kwekhabhoni, futhi ukufudumala komhlaba kuzobe kumisiwe. Zonke izingane zizofunda ukuthula futhi zizoqeqeshwa ngezindlela ezinamandla, ezinokuthula zokubhekana nobudlova, uma bungavela. Bonke bazofunda ukuxazulula nokuxazulula izingxabano ngokuthula. Lapho sebekhulile bangase babhalisele i-shanti senani, ibutho lokuthula elizoqeqeshelwa ukuvikela okusekelwe emphakathini, okwenza izizwe zabo zingabuseki uma zihlaselwa elinye izwe noma i-coup d’etat futhi ngenxa yalokho zinganqotshwa. Izingane zizophila kahle ngoba ukunakekelwa kwezempilo kuzotholakala mahhala, kuxhaswe ngemali eningi eyake yasetshenziswa emishinini yempi. Umoya namanzi kuzobe kuhlanzekile nenhlabathi inempilo futhi ikhiqize ukudla okunempilo ngoba uxhaso lokubuyiselwa kwemvelo luzotholakala emthonjeni ofanayo. Uma sibona izingane zidlala sizobona izingane zamasiko ehlukene zihlangene ekudlaleni kwazo ngoba imingcele evimbelayo iyobe isichithiwe. Ubuciko buzochuma. Nakuba zifunda ukuziqhenya ngamasiko azo—izinkolo zazo, ubuciko, ukudla, amasiko, njll.—lezi zingane zizobona ukuthi ziyizakhamuzi zeplanethi eyodwa encane kanye nezakhamuzi zamazwe azo. Lezi zingane azisoze zaba amasosha, nakuba zingase zisebenzele isintu ezinhlanganweni zokuzithandela noma ezinhlotsheni ezithile zenkonzo yendawo yonke ukuze kuzuze bonke.
