“Kodwa kuthiwani ngenani lokuthula?” kubuza umpristi ongumJesuit kanye nomphikisi wempi uDaniel Berrigan, ebhala esejele likahulumeni ngo-1969, enza isikhathi sengxenye yakhe ekubhujisweni kwamarekhodi asalungiswa. “Ngicabanga ngabantu abalungile, abahloniphekile, abathanda ukuthula engibazi ngezinkulungwane, futhi ngiyazibuza. Bangaki kubo abaphethwe yisifo esimoshayo sesimo esijwayelekile kangangokuthi, njengoba bememezela ukuthula, izandla zabo zelula ngokuzumayo beqondise abathandekayo babo, endleleni yokunethezeka kwabo, ikhaya labo, ikhaya labo. ukulondeka, iholo labo, ikusasa labo, izinhlelo zabo - lolo hlelo lweminyaka engamashumi amabili lokukhula komndeni nobunye, lolo hlelo lweminyaka engamashumi amahlanu lokuphila okuhloniphekile kanye nokufa kwemvelo okuhloniphekile."
Kusukela esitokisini sakhe sasejele onyakeni wokunyakaza kwabantu abaningi ukuqeda impi eVietnam kanye nokugqugquzelwa kwezikhali zenuzi, uDaniel Berrigan wathola ukuthi ukujwayelekile kuyisifo futhi wakubiza ngokuthi isithiyo sokuthula. “'Yebo, masibe nokuthula,' siyakhala, 'kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo masibe nesimo esivamile, singalahlekelwa lutho, ukuphila kwethu makume, singalazi ijele noma idumela elibi noma ukuphazanyiswa kwezibopho. ' Futhi ngenxa yokuthi kufanele sikuhlanganise lokhu futhi sikuvikele lokho, futhi ngoba ngazo zonke izindleko - kuzo zonke izindleko - amathemba ethu kufanele amashe ngesikhathi esimisiwe, futhi ngoba akuzwakali ukuthi ngegama lokuthula inkemba kufanele iwe, ihlukanise leyo webhu enhle futhi enobuqili. ukuthi ukuphila kwethu kwalukiwe... ngenxa yalokhu simemeza ukuthula, ukuthula, akukho ukuthula.”
Eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu nanye kamuva, ngenxa yobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, wona kanye umbono wokujwayelekile uyabuzwa kunanini ngaphambili. Ngenkathi uDonald Trump "ezama kancane" ukubuyisela umnotho esimweni esijwayelekile maduze ngokususelwa kumethrikhi esekhanda lakhe, amazwi akhombisayo athi ukubuyela kwesijwayelekile, manje noma esikhathini esizayo, kuwusongo olungabekezeleleki kuphikiswe. "Kunezinkulumo eziningi mayelana nokubuyela 'kokuvamile' ngemuva kokugqashuka kwe-COVID-19," kusho isishoshovu sezulu uGreta Thunberg, "kodwa okuvamile bekuyinkinga."
Ezinsukwini ezisanda kwedlula ngisho osomnotho neWorld Bank kanye ne-International Monetary Fund kanye nababhali ku- New York Times bakhulume ngesidingo esiphuthumayo sokuhlela kabusha izinto eziza kuqala kwezomnotho nezombusazwe kokuthile okungabantu- kuphela izingqondo eziminyene nezinonya kakhulu namuhla zikhuluma ngokubuyela esimweni esijwayelekile njengomphumela omuhle.
Ekuqaleni kwalolu bhubhane, intatheli yase-Australia uJohn Pilger ukhumbuze umhlaba ngesisekelo esijwayelekile esibhebhezelwa yi-COVID-19: “Sekumenyezelwe ubhubhane, kodwa hhayi kwabangama-24,600 abafa nsuku zonke ngenxa yendlala engenasidingo, hhayi ezinganeni ezingama-3,000 ezifayo. nsuku zonke kusuka kumalaleveva ovikeka, hhayi kubantu abayi-10,000 abafa nsuku zonke ngoba benqatshelwa ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okuxhaswe ngumphakathi, hhayi ngamakhulu abantu baseVenezuela nabase-Irani abafa nsuku zonke ngoba ukuvinjwa kweMelika kubanqabela imithi esindisa impilo, hhayi emakhulwini amaningi ezingane eziqhunyiswa ngamabhomu noma ezibulawa indlala nsuku zonke eYemen, empini ehlinzekwa futhi eqhubekayo, ngenzuzo, yiMelika neBrithani. Ngaphambi kokuthi uthuke, zicabangele.”
Ngangiqala esikoleni samabanga aphakeme lapho uDaniel Berrigan ebuza umbuzo wakhe futhi ngaleso sikhathi, kuyilapho kusobala ukuthi kwakukhona izimpi nokungabi nabulungisa emhlabeni, kwabonakala sengathi asizange sikuthathele phezulu noma ukubhikisha kanzima kakhulu, i-American Dream ne-American Dream ne-lineless yayo. amandla asakazwa phambi kwethu. Dlala umdlalo, futhi amathemba ethu "azomasha ngesikhathi esimisiwe" kwakuyisithembiso sokuthi ngo-1969 sasibukeka njengento eqinisekile, kithina bantu abasha abamhlophe baseNyakatho Melika, noma kunjalo. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, ngayeka ukuphila okuvamile, ngayeka ngemva konyaka ngisekolishi futhi ngajoyina inhlangano yamaKatolika lapho ngaba ngaphansi kwethonya likaDaniel Berrigan noDorothy Day, kodwa lezi kwakuyizinqumo eziyilungelo engazenza. Angikwenqabanga isimo esijwayelekile ngoba ngangingacabangi ukuthi singafeza isithembiso saso, kodwa ngoba ngangifuna okunye. Njengoba uGreta Thunberg kanye nabatelekile besikole sangoLwesihlanu bebeka isizukulwane sami sinecala, bambalwa abantu abasha, ngisho nabavela ezindaweni ezazinenhlanhla, abakhulile namuhla benethemba elinjalo ngekusasa labo.
Lo bhubhane ulethe ekhaya lokho izinsongo zokubhujiswa komhlaba wonke ngokushintsha kwesimo sezulu kanye nempi yenuzi okufanele kube khona kudala- ukuthi izithembiso zesimo esijwayelekile azisoze zafeza ekugcineni, ukuthi zingamanga aholela encithakalweni labo abathembela kuzo. UDaniel Berrigan wabona lokhu engxenyeni yekhulu leminyaka edlule, ukujwayelekile kuwukuhlupheka, isifo esimoshayo esiyingozi kakhulu kuzisulu zaso nasemhlabeni kunanoma yisiphi isifo esibangelwa amagciwane.
Umbhali nesishoshovu samalungelo abantu u-Arundhati Roy ungomunye wabaningi ababubonayo ubungozi kanye nesithembiso saleso sikhathi: “Noma ngabe kuyini, i-coronavirus iguqe ngamandla futhi yamisa umhlaba ngendlela engakaze ibonwe. Izingqondo zethu zisagijima phambili naphambili, silangazelela ukubuyela 'ekujwayelekeni', sizama ukuhlanganisa ikusasa lethu esikhathini esidlule futhi singafuni ukuvuma ukugqashuka. Kodwa ukuqhekeka kukhona. Futhi phakathi nalokhu kuphelelwa ithemba okubi, kusinikeza ithuba lokucabanga kabusha ngomshini wosuku lwembubhiso esizakhele wona. Akukho okungaba kubi njengokubuyela esimeni esijwayelekile. Ngokomlando, izifo eziwubhadane ziye zaphoqa abantu ukuthi bahlukane nesikhathi esedlule futhi bacabange umhlaba wabo kabusha. Lona akahlukile. Kuyingosi, isango phakathi kwezwe elilodwa nelilandelayo.”
"Zonke izinkinga ziqukethe kokubili ingozi nethuba," kusho uPapa Francis mayelana nesimo samanje. “Namuhla ngikholwa ukuthi kufanele sehlise izinga lokukhiqiza nokusetshenziswa kwethu futhi sifunde ukuqonda nokucabanga ngendalo. Leli yithuba lokuguqulwa. Yebo, ngibona izimpawu zakuqala zomnotho ongenamanzi, nobuntu. Kodwa masingalahlekelwa yinkumbulo yethu uma konke lokhu sekudlulile, singakugcini bese sibuyela lapho ebesikhona.”
"Kunezindlela zokuya phambili esingakaze sizicabange - ngezindleko ezinkulu, nokuhlupheka okukhulu - kepha akhona amathuba futhi nginethemba elikhulu," kusho uMbhishobhi Omkhulu waseCanterbury, uJustin Welby, ngePhasika. "Ngemuva kokuhlupheka okungaka, ubuqhawe obungaka obuvela kubasebenzi ababalulekile kanye ne-NHS (National Health Service) kuleli lizwe kanye nabalingana nabo emhlabeni wonke, uma lolu bhubhane selunqotshiwe ngeke senelise ukubuyela kulokho okwakukhona ngaphambili kungathi konke. bekujwayelekile. Kudingeka kube novuko lwempilo yethu evamile, evamile entsha, into ehlotshaniswa nendala kodwa ehlukile futhi enhle kakhulu.”
Kulezi zikhathi eziyingozi, kuyadingeka ukusebenzisa izindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuxhumana nabantu nokusebenzisa ngobuhlakani isayensi nobuchwepheshe ukuze usinde kulolu bhubhane lwe-COVID-19. Isifo esimoshayo sokujwayelekile, nokho, siwusongo olukhulu kakhulu olukhona futhi ukusinda kwethu kudinga ukuthi sihlangabezane nakho okungenani ngesibindi esifanayo, ukuphana nobuhlakani.

Isithombe: UDaniel Berrigan, ugonywe ngokumelene nesimo esijwayelekile
Izimpendulo ze-4
buyela esimeni esijwayelekile? cha! asiphile ngokuzwana!
Umuthi wokugomela uvendle wawuyinkohliso. Uvendle usakazwa usuka endle uyiswe emanzini, noma usuke ezimeni ezingahlanzekile, ukungagezi izandla futhi igciwane uvendle lingasakazeka liye komunye umuntu odle ukudla okuphethwe yisisulu sovendle ongazange azigeze kahle izandla zakhe ngemuva kokuhlangana naye. indle engcoliswe uvendle.
Izihlungi zathuthukiswa, kanye nokwelashwa kwamanzi okungcono okusobala ukuthi kuyimbangela yangempela yokushiswa kovendle. Kube nokuqubuka kwe-cryptosporidium emanzini okuphuza ngeminyaka yawo-1990 ngenxa yokuntula kwendle. I-Cryptosporidium iyibhaktheriya, kuyilapho uvendle iyigciwane, kodwa namanje ayikasuleleki ngokuphefumula, njengoba nje izifo ezithathelwana ngocansi kanye ne-HIV-AIDS zingasakazwa ngokuphefumula.
Njengoba i-FDR yayiyisisulu sovendle futhi uvendle kwakuyisifo sezingane, abantu baseMelika kanye nabantu emhlabeni wonke babenovalo lokukhubaza noma ukubulala izingane.
Umuthi wokugomela uvendle kungenzeka wanikezwa udumo ngokunisela okuthile owawungahlanganise lutho nakho. U-Bill Gates kanye ne-WHO bebelokhu begomela izingane uvendle okuthiwa i-irradicate, okungenzeka ukuthi usuleleke ngokuphathwa kahle kwamanzi nokugeza izandla ngendlela efanele!
Ngokufanayo, empeleni kwakuyimithombo yamanzi okuphuza yomphakathi eyayibangela ukuqubuka kovendle eMelika. Ukwenyuka kokuthuthwa kwendle, kuphinde kwehlise ukumelana namasosha omzimba kuvendle. I-95% yezisulu zovendle zazingenazimpawu. Ama-5% ayegula futhi alulama emasontweni ambalwa, kwathi u-1% washona.
Lokhu kungancishiswa ngamanzi abilayo. Lesi akusona isicelo sokuthi umphakathi womhlaba wenze kube yimfihlo futhi ubeke umkhawulo emanzini okuphuza eMpumalanga Ephakathi, e-India, noma e-Afrika lapho uvendle lubuyile emithini yokugomela iGates ne-WHO.
U-Mark Levine ompofu akazi ukuthi uhulumeni wobumbano uphelelwe yimali selokhu wasungulwa, ngaphandle kuka-1835, okuwukuphela konyaka ongenazikweleti eMelika ngaphansi kuka-Andrew Jackson, futhi akazi ukuthi uTrump wephule wonke amalungelo omthethosisekelo wawo wonke amaMelika, amaningi. izikhathi! Mhlawumbe kufanele ngisho ukuthi abalaleli baka-Mark Levine abampofu ngobuningi babo abazazi lezo zinto kuyilapho u-Mark Levine ehleka yonke indlela eya ebhange ethengisa abalaleli bakhe amalungelo omthethosisekelo kanye nempilo enhle yezezimali ezansi nomfula nge-cointell- propaganda psy-op of. ukukhanya kwegesi!
