I-Collapse ye-War System igxile ekuboneni kukaLeo Tolstoy, uBertrand Russell, Mohandas Gandhi no-Albert Einstein. Yikes! Ngingacabanga nje ukuthi i-flagmanan i-flak engingayithatha uma ngabe ngike ngibhalele labo besilisa abane, cishe abathathu "abamhlophe," futhi bonke abane bafa ngokufa, ephaneli enkomfeni eqhubekayo. Ngingakwenza, Yebo, ngenxa yokuhlakanipha ngamunye okwadingeka abelane ngakho. Kodwa ubuthakathaka balaleli qoqo alihambisani nomuntu ofile-omhlophe-wesilisa. Ukuhlakanipha kwemiphakathi engeyona eNtshonalanga engakaze yenze noma impi ingekho kunoma iyiphi indaba yaseWest ukuthola indlela yokuthola indlela yokwakha ukuthula - njengokungathi ukuthula kwakuyisakhiwo sephalamende noma inethiwekhi yekhompyutha. Lapho u-Einstein ebuza uFreud ukuthi ukuthula kungenzeka, ngabe ngimkhethile ukuba abuze uJean-Paul Sartre noma uBertrand Russell, abantu abazange bakhethe ukuthula ngaso sonke isikhathi kodwa ngubani owayengenza icala elibi kakhulu ukuthi kungenzeka. Kungcono nakakhulu, kungenzeka ukuthi ubuze uMargaret Mead. Kungcono nakakhulu, kungenzeka ukuthi wayebheke emiphakathini eyayikwenzile futhi eyenzayo, kunokuba azame ukufakazela into ethile engase isetshenziswe emisebenzini engeyona eNtshonalanga.
Abacwaningi abane bokuthula baxoxwa yilokho, okuthakazelisayo futhi okubalulekile, nakuba kulinganiselwe. I-Tolstoy i-crystal ecacile futhi ayihambisani nalokho, kodwa isekela konke ekukholweni okungokwenkolo kunoma ubani ongakwazi ukwabelana ngakho. URussell ubonakala sengathi unguTolstoy wezwe ongafakazela ukuhlakanipha kwakhe, ngaphandle kokuthi uRussell wayephikisa "izimpi ezimbi" - nakuba enza kahle kakhulu. UGandhi usibuyisela emibhalweni yezenkolo yokuthi angasisekeli ukubulala kwabantu. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokho uGandhi ngokwakhe akushoyo, imibono yakhe yakha ngokucacile kunokuba ifune ukubuyisela isiko labanye labanye ukuthi abalandeli abaningi baye bakuthola kulula ukwehlukanisa izenzo zeGandhi enkolweni kaGandhi. U-Einstein usisusa futhi embusweni wenkolo futhi, kodwa emuva kokuphikisana kwempi eyingxenye. Ukuphikisana kuka-Einstein empini kwaba isihlobo.
Ngakho, zonke lezi zibonelo zibonakala zingekho. Uma ngisho lokho, ngisho ukubhekisela ngangokunokwenzeka kwizifundo ezisebenzisekayo amadoda amane afundiswa, hhayi emiphakathini yabo njengabantu abayisibonelo - nakuba ngingasho ukuthi lezizinto ezimbili zingahlukaniswa ngokuhlanzekile. Njengoba kubonakala ezincwadini ezibalwe ngenhla, ulwazi nokucabanga ngokuqeda impi kuye kwavela. Ngakho-ke lezizinto esizibiza ngokuthi "impi." Ngakho-ke unesimo sengqondo esithandwayo mayelana nempi. Kodwa ngikholelwa ukuthi sizoba endaweni engafanele ngaphandle kokuthuthukiswa kwalaba bacabanga.
Ekupheleni kwencwadi yakhe, isiNgisi sichaza uTolstoy njengokwembula izinkolelo zempi, uRussell imfundiso yezimpi zempi, uGandhi imfundiso yamadlova, no-Einstein izimfundiso zokulondeka. Lezi zizathu ngokuqinisekile laba abalobi bangakwazi ukukhonza isikhathi eside uma lezi zindaba ziqhubeka, okwethemba okufanayo akufani nesikhathi sokuphila kwalolu hlobo lwesintu.
