Nikeza Ukuthula Ithuba: Ungakholelwa Abazuza Ngezimpi

Ngenyanga edlule ngithole ithuba lokwabelana ngemicabango ku- U-Divest Philly ovela ku-War Machine event, umbuki zindwendwe ngu Izincwadi Zezicathulo Zokhuni futhi kuxhasiwe ngu World Beyond War, Ikhodi ye-Pink, Ama-Veterans for Peace, namanye amaqembu amelene nempi. Ngezansi kukhona ukuphawula kwami, kuhlelwe kancane ukuze kucace. Ngibonga kubo bonke abahilelekile. 

Ekupheleni kukaMeyi, iPhini likaMongameli uMike Pence waba isikhulumi sokuqala eWest Point. Ngokwengxenye, watshela abafundi ababethweswa iziqu lokhu: “Kuyinto eqinisekile ukuthi niyolwela iMelika esikhathini esithile ekuphileni kwenu. Uzohola amasosha empini. Kuzokwenzeka … futhi uma lolo suku lufika, ngiyazi ukuthi niyonyakazela ekukhaleni kwezibhamu futhi nenze umsebenzi wenu, futhi niyolwa, futhi nizonqoba. Abantu baseMelika balindele okuncane. ”

Yini uPence ayizange yisho lolo suku kungani wayengaqiniseka kakhulu ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzeka. Noma ngubani abahlomuli abayinhloko kuzoba, uma kwenzeka noma nini. Ngoba abawinile ngeke kube abantu baseMelika, ababona izintela zabo zigibela imicibisholo esikhundleni sokunakekelwa kwezempilo nemfundo. Ngeke futhi babe amasosha ngokwawo—amanye awo azobuya efake amabhokisi amabhokisi agqitshwe ifulege kuyilapho amanye ethola izingozi ezishintsha ukuphila ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo. Abawinile ngeke futhi kube izakhamuzi zakwamanye amazwe ezibhekana nokufa nokufuduka ngezinga elinyantisayo kusukela emandleni ethu ezempi amangalisayo. Futhi isimo sezulu seplanethi yethu esintekenteke manje ngeke siphume phezulu naso, njengoba iPentagon ingumthengi omkhulu kawoyela omkhulu emhlabeni.

Cha, impango izoya emshinini wethu wempi omkhulu futhi onezici eziningi. Umshini wempi wakhiwe izinkampani ezifana neLockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, kanye noRaytheon, phakathi kwezinye, ezenza izigidigidi zamaRandi unyaka ngamunye ngempi, amalungiselelo empi, nokudayiswa kwezikhali. Eqinisweni, uhulumeni wase-US ukhokhela i-Lockheed kuphela unyaka nonyaka ngaphezu kokuhlinzeka ngemali ku-Ejensi Yokuvikela Imvelo, uMnyango Wezabasebenzi, kanye noMnyango Wezangaphakathi kuhlangene. Umshini wempi uhlanganisa nama-CEO alabo sonkontileka bezokuvikela, abangenisa amashumi ezigidi zamaRandi minyaka yonke, kanye nosopolitiki abaningi eWashington abasiza ukuvikela imisebenzi yabo ngokwamukela ngokuhlanganyela izigidi zamarandi iminikelo evela embonini yezokuvikela—ihlukaniswe ngokulinganayo. phakathi kokubili amaqembu amakhulu. Futhi masingakhohlwa osopolitiki asebathatha umhlalaphansi kanye nezikhulu zamasosha asebathatha umhlalaphansi, abahamba ngebhodwe legolide ukuze babe amalungu ebhodi akhokhelwa kakhulu nabakhulumeli balezi zinkampani ezifanayo.

IPhini likaMongameli uPence naye akazange akhulume kuma-cadet ukuthi isabelomali samasosha ase-US namuhla sidlula leso samazwe ayisikhombisa amakhulu alandelayo ehlangene—umbukiso oshisekayo we-Congressional bipartisanship ekubi kakhulu kwayo. Futhi akazange aphawule ukuthi singabathengisi abakhulu bamazwe ngamazwe bezikhali ezinkulu emhlabeni, ngemizamo eqhubekayo yokuthuthukisa izimakethe ezinkulu nakakhulu zezinkampani zezikhali zase-US emazweni aphethwe omashiqela abanonya, abayingcindezelo. Kwenzeka kanjalo-ke ngo-August odlule, isibonelo, ukuthi iSaudi Arabia yasebenzisa ibhomu elibizayo eliqondiswa nge-laser i-Lockheed ukuze iqhumise ibhasi eYemen, kwashona abafana abancane abangu-40 ababesohambweni lwesikole.

Njengoba nginikezwe la maqiniso, ngingathanda ukunikeza umbono wami-njengesazi sokusebenza kwengqondo-embuzweni ongakaze ube nesikhathi esithe xaxa: Kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi abahlomuli bempi, amalungu aphethe amakhadi abizwa ngokuthi i-1%, baqhubeke ziphumelele naphezu kwawo wonke umonakalo nosizi ezilubangela kwabaningi? Siyazi ukuthi u-1%—abanobugovu abacebile nabanamandla—babeka izinto eziza kuqala kuningi lezikhulu zethu ezikhethiwe. Siyazi futhi ukuthi zinomthelela omkhulu kumidiya ejwayelekile mayelana nokuthi yiziphi izindaba eziphromothwayo nezifihliwe. Kodwa emsebenzini wami, okubaluleke kakhulu—futhi okuvame ukungaqashelwa—amasu enkulumo-ze abawasebenzisayo ukuze basivimbele ekuboneni ukuthi konakelephi, ubani okufanele asolwe, nokuthi singenza kanjani izinto zibe ngcono. Futhi akukho lapho lokhu kubonakala khona kakhulu noma okubaluleke kakhulu kunalokho uma kukhulunywa ngamaphesenti aqhuba umshini wethu wempi.

Ucwaningo lwami lubonisa ukuthi imiyalezo yabo ekhohlisayo—engiyibiza ngokuthi “imidlalo yengqondo”—iqondise ezintweni ezinhlanu ezisikhathazayo ezilawula ukuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke: okuwukuthi, izinkinga zokuba sengozini, ukungabi nabulungisa, ukungathembani, ukuphakama, nokungabi nakuzisiza. Lezi izifanekiso zengqondo esizisebenzisayo ukwenza umqondo ngezwe elisizungezile. Ngamunye uhlotshaniswa nombuzo obalulekile esizibuza wona njalo: Ingabe siphephile? Ingabe siphathwa ngendlela efanele? Ubani okufanele simethembe? Ingabe silunge ngokwanele? Futhi, singakwazi yini ukulawula okwenzeka kithi? Futhi akukhona ukuqondana nje ukuthi ngayinye iphinde ihlotshaniswe nomzwelo onamandla okungaba nzima ukuwulawula: ukwesaba, intukuthelo, izinsolo, ukuzidla, nokuphelelwa ithemba, ngokulandelana.

Abenza inzuzo ngempi badla lezi zinto ezinhlanu ezikhathazayo ngezinhloso ezimbili ezilula engqondweni. Okokuqala, bahlose ukudala nokugcina umphakathi waseMelika owamukela noma okungenani owamukele isimo sengqondo sempi esingapheli. Okwesibili, basebenzisa le midlalo yengqondo ukubukela phansi kanye nokwehlisa amandla amazwi amelene nempi. Kulokhu kukhathazeka okuhlanu ngakunye, ngingathanda ukunikeza izibonelo ezimbili zemidlalo yengqondo engikhuluma ngayo, bese sixoxa ngokuthi singamelana kanjani nayo.

Ake siqale nge ukuba sengozini. Ukuthi imicabango edlula ngokushesha noma izinkathazo ezikhathazayo, sivame ukuzibuza ukuthi abantu esibakhathalelayo basengozini yini, nokuthi kungenzeka yini kube khona ingozi emkhathizwe. Okulungile noma okungalungile, ukwahlulela kwethu kulezi zindaba kuhamba ibanga elide ekunqumeni ukukhetha esikwenzayo kanye nezinyathelo esizenzayo. Ukugxila kwethu ekubeni sengozini akumangazi. Kulapho kuphela sicabanga ukuthi siphephile lapho siphendulela ukunaka kwethu kwezinye izinto. Ngeshwa, nokho, asikwazi kakhulu ukuhlola ubungozi noma ukuphumelela kwezimpendulo ezingaba khona kuzo. Kungakho izikhalazo zezengqondo eziqondise lezi zinto ezikhathazayo ngokuba sengozini ziyisici esibalulekile sezikhali zenkulumo-ze yomshini wempi.

“Izwe Eliyingozi” igeyimu yengqondo esengozini abazuzi bempi abavame ukuyisebenzisa ukuze bakhe ukusekelwa komphakathi ngemisebenzi yabo eqhutshwa ubugovu. Baphikisa ngokuthi izenzo zabo ziyadingeka ukuze kugcinwe wonke umuntu ephephile ezinsongweni ezisabekayo. Benza ihaba noma bakha lezi zingozi ngokuphelele—kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bakhuluma ngama-dominoes awela ku-Red Menace eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, noma i-Axis of Evil namafu angamakhowe phezu kwamadolobha ase-US, noma ababhikishi abamelene nempi okuthiwa babeka engcupheni ukuphepha kwezwe lethu. Bayazi ukuthi siyizisulu ezithambile zamaqhinga anjalo angokwengqondo ngoba, esifisweni sethu sokugwema ukungalungeli lapho kugadla ingozi, siyashesha ukucabanga ngemiphumela eyinhlekelele kungakhathaliseki ukuthi mancane kangakanani. Kungakho singaba yizisulu ezilula uma besinxusa ukuthi siwele emgqeni, sithobele imiyalelo yabo, futhi mhlawumbe silahle amalungelo ethu omphakathi.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abamele impi yempi bavame ukuphendukela emdlalweni wesibili wengqondo yokuba sengozini—“Ushintsho Luyingozi”—lapho bezama ukubukela phansi abagxeki babo. Lapha, lapho ukuguqulwa okuhlongozwayo kuzokhinyabeza izifiso zabo, bayasidukisa ngokuphikelela ngokuthi lezi zinguquko zizobeka wonke umuntu engozini enkulu—ukuthi isiphakamiso simayelana nokunciphisa izizinda zethu zamasosha ezimangalisayo ezingu-800 zaphesheya kwezilwandle; noma ukuhoxisa amasosha eVietnam, e-Afghanistan, noma e-Iraq; noma ukunciphisa isabelomali sethu esikhulu sokuvikela. Lo mdlalo wengqondo uvamise ukusebenza ngenxa yalokho izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo ezikubiza ngokuthi “i-status quo bias.” Okusho ukuthi, ngokuvamile sikhetha ukugcina izinto ngendlela eziyiyo—ngisho noma zingezinhle kakhulu—kunokuba sibhekane nokungaqiniseki kwezinketho ezingajwayelekile, ngisho noma lezo ezinye izindlela ziyilokho kanye okudingekayo ukwenza umhlaba ube indawo ephephile. Kodwa-ke, inhlalakahle yethu akuyona inkinga ecindezela kakhulu ngokuphathelene nabazuzi bempi.

Ake siphenduke manje ku ukungabi nabulungisa, ukukhathazeka okuyinhloko kwesibili. Amacala okuphathwa kabi kwangempela noma okucatshangwayo avame ukuvusa intukuthelo nokucasuka, kanye nesifiso sokwenza amaphutha okulungile futhi alethe ukuziphendulela kulabo abanomthwalo wemfanelo. Lokho kungaba kuhle kakhulu. Kodwa imibono yethu mayelana nokuthi yini elungile nengalungile ayiphelele. Lokhu kusenza sibe izisulu ezingase zibe lula zokukhohliswa yilabo abanentshisekelo yobugovu ekulolongeni imibono yethu yokulungile nokungalungile ukuze kuzuze bona—futhi kuyilokho kanye abamele umbutho wezempi abasebenza kanzima ukuzenza.

Isibonelo, "Silwa Nokungabi Nabulungiswa" ungomunye wemidlalo yengqondo yokungabi nabulungiswa ethandwa kakhulu yabazuzi bempi ukuze ukhiqize ukwesekwa komphakathi ngezimpi ezingapheli. Lapha, bagcizelela ukuthi izenzo zabo zikhombisa ukuzibophezela okungapheli ekulweni nobubi—noma ngabe baphikisana ngamanga ngokuthi i-Iran ibandakanyeke kukho. engacasukile ubutha; noma ukuthi uJulian Assange kanye no-Chelsea Manning, abadalula ubugebengu bezempi base-US, bafanelwe isijeziso sokuvukela umbuso; noma ukuthi ukugadwa kukahulumeni kanye nokuphazamiseka kwamaqembu amelene nempi kuyizimpendulo ezidingekayo emsebenzini okuthiwa ungekho emthethweni. Lo mdlalo wengqondo uklanyelwe ukusebenzisa kabi futhi uqondise kabi umuzwa wethu wokucasuka ngenxa yokungabi nabulungisa. Kuthatha ithuba lokuthambekela kwethu kwengqondo ukukholelwa ukuthi umhlaba ulungile, futhi ngenxa yalokho sicabange ukuthi labo abathole izikhundla banengqondo ehluzekile kunokuba bagqugquzelwe ukuzicabangela bona—yize izenzo zabo zivame kangaka. umonakalo kunoku Usizo amathemba okuthula.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, “Siyizisulu” kuwumdlalo wesibili wokungabi nabulungisa, futhi usetshenziselwa ukubukela phansi abagxeki. Lapho izinqubomgomo noma izenzo zabo zilahlwa, abameleli bempi bakhononda ngokudelela ngokuthi bona ngokwabo baphathwa kabi. Ngakho-ke, isibonelo, iPentagon izwakalise ukucasuka ukuthi izithombe zokuhlushwa zika-Abu Ghraib zasakazwa ngaphandle kwemvume yayo; i-White House ihlanganisa ukuthi i-International Criminal Court ine-vendetta ngokumelene namasosha aseMelika angenacala, noma basho kanjalo; futhi izinkampani ezikhiqiza amabhomu zikhononda ngokuthi akufanele zigxekwe ngokudayisela omashiqela baphesheya izikhali njengoba uhulumeni wethu egunyaze ukuthengisa—njengokungathi lokho ngandlela thize kwenza kube yinto efanele ukwenziwa. Izimangalo ezinjengalezi zenzelwe ukukhuthaza ukungaqiniseki nokungaboni ngaso linye phakathi komphakathi mayelana nezindaba zokulungile nokungalungile, kanye nezisulu kanye nomenzi wobubi. Uma lokhu kuguqulwa kwamatafula kuphumelela, ukukhathazeka kwethu kuyaqondiswa kude ne labo abahlupheka ngempela ngezimpi zethu ezingapheli.

Asidlulele ekukhathazekeni kwethu okwesithathu, ukungathembeki. Sivame ukuhlukanisa umhlaba sibe yilabo esibathola bethembekile nalabo esingabathembi. Lapho sidweba khona lowomugqa kubaluleke kakhulu. Uma sikwenza kahle, sigwema ukulimala kulabo abanezinhloso ezimbi, futhi siyakwazi ukujabulela imivuzo yobudlelwano bokusebenzisana. Kodwa ngokuvamile senza lezi zahlulelo ngolwazi olulinganiselwe kuphela lokwethembeka okungaqinisekile. Ngenxa yalokho, iziphetho zethu mayelana nokwethembeka kwabantu abathile, amaqembu, nemithombo yolwazi ngokuvamile ziba namaphutha futhi zibe yinkinga, ikakhulukazi lapho abanye abanezisusa ezicashile—abashisekeli bempi efika ngokushesha emiqondweni yethu—kuthonye ukucabanga kwethu.

Ngokwesibonelo, “Bahlukile Kithi” kungenye yokungathembani umdlalo wengqondo abazuzi bempi abathembele kuwo lapho bezama ukuzuza ukwesekwa ngumphakathi. Bayisebenzisela ukukhuthaza izinsolo zethu kwamanye amaqembu ngokuphikisana nalokho they ungahlanganyeli ngezimiso zethu, izinto eziza kuqala kithi, noma izimiso zethu. Lokhu sikubona njalo, okuhlanganisa nebhizinisi elinenzuzo enkulu lokugqugquzela inzondo ye-Islamo, nalapho ezinye izizwe zibonakala ngokuphindaphindiwe njengezidala nezinobuqaba. Lo mdlalo wengqondo usebenza ngoba, ngokwengqondo, lapho thina ungapheli sibona othile njengengxenye ye-ingroup yethu, sivame ukubabheka njengaye Ngaphansi abathembekile, sibabambe aphansi sibheke, futhi sinjalo Ngaphansi uzimisele ukwabelana nabo ngezinsiza eziyivelakancane. Ngakho-ke, ukukholisa umphakathi waseMelika ukuthi iqembu lihluke ngempela noma liphambukile kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokunciphisa ukukhathazeka kwethu ngenhlalakahle yabo.

Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abamele umbutho wezempi baphendukela esikhalazweni sesibili sokungethembi—umdlalo wengqondo othi “Badukile Futhi Banolwazi Olungaqondile”—ukuze bagcobe abamelene nempi. Babhebhezela ukungabethembi laba bagxeki ngokuphikisa ngokuthi abanalo ulwazi olwanele, noma bahlushwa ukuchema okungaqashelwanga, noma bayizisulu zokwaziswa okunganembile ngamabomu kwabanye—nokuthi ngenxa yalokho, imibono yabo ephikisayo ayikufanelekeli ukucatshangelwa ngokujulile. Ngakho-ke, ngokwesibonelo, abahlomuli bempi bahlambalaza futhi bazame ukudelela amaqembu aphikisana nempi njengawo World Beyond War, I-Code Pink, kanye Nomakadebona Wokuthula abanezinsolo ezingamanga ezibonisa ukuthi izishoshovu aziqondi izimbangela zangempela zezinkinga ezifuna ukuzilungisa, nokuthi amakhambi azo ahlongozwayo azokwenza izinto zibe zimbi kakhulu kuwo wonke umuntu. Eqinisweni, ubufakazi bangempela abuvamile ukusekela izikhundla zabashisekeli bempi engapheli. Uma lo mdlalo wengqondo uphumelela, umphakathi awuwanaki amazwi abalulekile okuphikisa. Futhi uma lokho kwenzeka, alahleka amathuba abalulekile okubhekana nempi engalawuleki kanye nokuthuthukisa okuhle kubo bonke.

Manje siphendukela ekukhathazekeni kwesine okubalulekile, ukuphakama, siyashesha ukuziqhathanisa nabanye, ngokuvamile sizama ukubonisa ukuthi siyakufanelekela ukuhlonishwa. Kwesinye isikhathi lesi sifiso siba namandla kakhulu: sifuna isiqinisekiso sokuthi sinjalo kangcono ngandlela thize ebalulekile—mhlawumbe kulokho esikufezile, noma ezimisweni zethu, noma kumagalelo ethu emphakathini. Kodwa kule mizamo yokuqinisa ukuzihlola kwethu okuhle, ngezinye izikhathi siyakhuthazwa ukuba sibone futhi siveze abanye ngokukhanya okungekuhle ngangokunokwenzeka, size sifike ezingeni lokubalulaza. Futhi njengoba izahlulelo esizenzayo mayelana nokufaneleka kwethu—kanye nezimfanelo zabanye—zivame ukuzithoba, le mibono iphinde ibe sengozini yokukhohliswa umshini wempi.

Isibonelo, umdlalo wengqondo othi "Ukuphishekela Inhloso Ephakeme" ungenye yezindlela abenzi benzuzo bempi bakhanga ngayo ukuphakama ukuze bakhe ukwesekwa komphakathi kwempi engapheli. Lapha, baveza izenzo zabo njengokuqinisekisa ukuhluka kweMelika, begcizelela ukuthi izinqubomgomo zabo zinezisekelo ezijulile zokuziphatha futhi zibonisa izimiso ezithandwayo eziphakamisa leli zwe ngaphezu kwamanye—ngisho noma abakuvikelayo kuwukuxolelwa kwezigilamkhuba zempi; noma ukuhlukunyezwa kwabasolwa ngobuphekula; noma ukuboshwa kwamaJapane-aseMelika; noma ukuketulwa ngobudlova kwabaholi abakhethiwe kwamanye amazwe, ukubala nje izibonelo ezimbalwa. Uma lo mdlalo wengqondo uphumelela, izinkomba eziphambene-ezikhona kakhulu-zichazwa ngokungafanele njengokungapheleli, okuncane okuhlala kuza nokuphishekela ubukhulu beqoqo. Ezikhathini eziningi, umphakathi uyakhohliswa lapho ukuhaha kufihlwe ngezindlela ezithinta umuzwa wethu wokuziqhenya ngalokho okufezwe yizwe lethu kanye nomthelela walo emhlabeni.

Abamele umshini wempi ngesikhathi esisodwa bahlose ukubekela eceleni abagxeki babo ngesikhalazo sesibili sokuphakama: umdlalo wengqondo othi “BangawaseMelika”. Lapha, baveza labo ababaphikisayo njengabanganeliseki nabangenakwazisa nge-United States kanye nezimiso namasiko “amaMelika angempela” awahloniphayo. Ngokwenza kanjalo, basebenzisa ithuba elithile lenhlonipho egxilile yomphakathi kanye nokuhlonipha zonke izinto zempi. Ngale ndlela, bazama ukuyenga lokho izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo ezikubiza ngokuthi “oyimpumputhe ukuthanda izwe.” Lesi simo sengqondo sihilela ukuqiniseka okuqinile ukuthi izwe lomuntu liyilo ungalokothi okungalungile ezenzweni noma ezinqubweni zayo, ukuthi ukwethembeka ezweni kufanele kungabi nambuzo futhi kuphelele, kanye nalokho kugxeka izwe. Ayikwazi kubekezelelwe. Uma lo mdlalo wengqondo uphumelela, amabutho alwa nempi ayahlukaniswa futhi ukuphikisa kuyashaywa indiva noma kucindezelwe.

Okokugcina, mayelana nokukhathazeka kwethu okuyisisekelo kwesihlanu, okwangempela noma okucatshangwayo ukungabi nasizo ingacwila noma yimuphi umsebenzi. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi ukukholelwa ukuthi asikwazi ukulawula imiphumela ebalulekile ezimpilweni zethu kuholela ekushiyeni emsebenzini, okuphazamisa ugqozi lwethu lokusebenzela izinjongo ezibalulekile zomuntu siqu noma zeqoqo. Imizamo yokushintsha umphakathi ithikamezeka kakhulu lapho abantu benomuzwa wokuthi ukusebenza ndawonye ngeke kuzithuthukise izimo zabo. Inkolelo yokuthi ubunzima abunakunqotshwa yinto esiyilwela kanzima ukumelana nayo. Kodwa uma sifinyelela kuleso siphetho esidumazayo noma kunjalo, imiphumela yaso ingakhubaza futhi kube nzima ukuyihlehlisa, futhi abashisekeli bokufudumala basebenzisa lokhu ukuze bazuze.

Isibonelo, umdlalo wengqondo othi “Sonke Ngeke Sizisize” ungenye yezindlela abenzi benzuzo bempi bakhala ngayo ekusweleni usizo ukuze bazuze ukwesekwa ngumphakathi. Ziyasixwayisa ngokuthi uma sihluleka ukulandela isiqondiso sabo mayelana nezindaba ezithinta ukuphepha kwezwe, umphumela uzoba yizimo ezimbi izwe elingase lingakwazi ukuphunyuka kuzo. Ngamafuphi, sizoba sibi kakhulu, futhi singabi namandla okulungisa umonakalo. Usongo olucasula kakhulu abagqugquzeli bempi engapheli kungase kube isiphakamiso sokukhawulela ukubhekwa kwasekhaya; noma umzamo wokuqinisa izingxoxo zamanxusa esikhundleni sokungenelela kwezempi; noma uhlelo lokubeka imikhawulo ekusetshenzisweni kwe-Pentagon ebalekile; noma izingcingo zokunciphisa izikhali zethu zezikhali zenuzi—zonke izindlela ezinengqondo zokuvikela amalungelo abantu kanye nokukhuthaza ukuthula. Ngeshwa, amathemba okungakwazi ukuzisiza esikhathini esizayo ngokuvamile asabisa kangangokuthi ngisho nezimpikiswano ezinamaphutha ajulile ezimelene nezincomo ezibalulekile zingabonakala ziheha umphakathi onovalo.

Ngasikhathi sinye, umshini wempi usebenzela ukuqeda amandla abagxeki bawo ngesikhalazo sesibili sokungabi nalusizo: umdlalo wengqondo othi "Ukumelana Kuyize". Umlayezo lapha ulula. Yithina esiphethe futhi lokho ngeke kushintshe. Abagqugquzeli abangenakubalwa, imibukiso yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu bezikhali “zokushaqeka nokwesaba”, izaqathi nezinduku ezingacashile nezikhulu zethu ezikhethiwe zisetshenziselwa ukudala i-aura yokunganqobeki ngokumelene nemizamo yokulwa nempi okuhloswe ngayo ukulinganisa izakhiwo zezempi nezimboni. imilobo yezinyawo kanye nenzuzo enkulu. Basebenzela ukudikibalisa, ukubekela eceleni, ukukhiphela inyumbazane, ukusabisa, nokwethusa labo abafuna ukubavimba. Leli su lisebenza uma siqiniseka ukuthi asikwazi ukuphumelela ngokumelene nabazuzi bempi, ngoba lapho-ke imizamo yethu yokushintsha ngokushesha igaya noma ingalokothi isuke phansi.

Kukhona abanye abaningi, kodwa engikuchazile yizibonelo eziyishumi ezibalulekile zemidlalo yengqondo eyenziwa ngabazuzi bempi asebenzise futhi uzosebenzisa ukufeza izinhloso zabo. Ngenxa yokuthi lezi zicelo zivame ukuba neqiniso nakuba zintekenteke njengezithembiso zobuqili, ukulwa nazo kungaba nzima. Kodwa akufanele sidikibale. Ucwaningo lwesayensi lwe-psychology yokukholisa lunikeza umhlahlandlela wokuthi singabambelela kanjani siqinile ngokumelene nenkulumo-ze yokuzisebenzela yomshini wempi.

Isihluthulelo esisodwa yilokho izazi zokusebenza kwengqondo ezikubiza ngokuthi “i-inoculation yesimo sengqondo.” Umbono oyisisekelo uvela endleleni evamile yezempilo yomphakathi esetshenziswa ukuvimbela ukungenwa nokusabalalisa igciwane eliyingozi. Cabanga ngomgomo womkhuhlane. Uma uthola isibhamu somkhuhlane, uthola umthamo omncane wegciwane langempela lomkhuhlane. Umzimba wakho uphendula ngokwakha amasosha omzimba, azobonakala ebalulekile ekulweni negciwane eligcwele umoya uma lihlasela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi njengoba uqhubeka nempilo yakho yansuku zonke. Umkhuhlane awukwenzi njalo ukusebenza, kodwa kuthuthukisa amathuba akho okuhlala unempilo. Yingakho sikhuthazwa ukuthi ngonyaka ngamunye sithole eyodwa ngaphambi inkathi yomkhuhlane iqala.

Khona-ke, cabanga ukuthi imidlalo yengqondo yabenzi benzuzo bempi ngokufanayo ifana negciwane, “elingasithelela” ngezinkolelo ezingamanga nezilimazayo. Nalapha futhi, inoculation ukuzivikela okungcono kakhulu. Njengoba sexwayiswe ngokuthi leli “gciwane” lisendleleni yethu—elisakazwa ama-megaphones amakhulu esakhiwo samasosha nezimboni—singaqapha futhi sizilungiselele ukuhlasela ngokufunda ukuqaphela le midlalo yengqondo nangokwakha nokuzijwayeza ukuphikisana nayo. .

Ngokwesibonelo, ngokuphambene nalokho okushiwo abashisekeli bokufudumala, ukusetshenziswa kwamandla ezempi ngokuvamile kusenza sengozini enkulu, hhayi kancane: ngokwandisa izitha zethu, ukubeka amasosha ethu engozini, futhi asiphazamise kwezinye izidingo ezicindezelayo. Ngokufanayo, isenzo sezempi singaba yinto ejulile ukungabi nabulungisa ngokwalo—ngoba libulala, likhubaza, futhi lixosha inqwaba yabantu abangenacala, abaningi libe ababaleki, nangenxa yokuthi lidla izinsiza ezinhlelweni ezibucayi zasekhaya. Kanjalo futhi, ukungathembeki zomuntu ongase abe yisitha akuzona izizathu ezanele zokuhlasela kwezempi, ikakhulukazi lapho amathuba okuxoxisana nezingxoxo ebekelwa eceleni ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Futhi uma kufika ukuphakama, Ukuhlasela okuhlangene ngokuqinisekile akumeli okuhle kakhulu kwamagugu ethu, futhi ngokuvamile iyancipha isithombe kanye nomthelela wethu emhlabeni ngale kwemingcele yethu. Okokugcina, kunomlando oziqhenyayo wokumelana nezakhamuzi ezingenalo udlame, ngempumelelo enkulu nezincane, futhi usikhombisa ukuthi abantu—abafundile, abahlelekile nabahlanganisiwe—bakude kakhulu. abangenalutho ngokumelene namandla angalawuleki futhi ahlukumezayo.

Izingxabano zalolu hlobo—futhi ziningi—“amasosha omzimba” esiwadingayo lapho sibhekene nokuhlaselwa komdlalo wengqondo ophuma emshinini wempi nabasekeli bawo. Okubaluleke nakakhulu, uma sesizigomele ngokumelene nabo, siyakwazi ukuba "abaphenduli bokuqala" ngokubamba iqhaza ngentshiseko ezingxoxweni ezibalulekile kanye nezinkulumo-mpikiswano ezidingekayo ukuze sikhohlise abanye ukuthi kungabafaneleka isikhathi sabo ukuzama ukubheka umhlaba ngokuhlukile ngendlela abazuzi bempi abafuna ngayo sonke sikubone. Kulezi zingxoxo, kubaluleke kakhulu ukuba sigcizelele kungani abameleli bempi bafuna sibambelele ezinkolelweni ezithile, nokuthi kanjani they yibo abazuzayo uma senza. Ngokuvamile, lapho sikhuthaza ukungabaza kanye nokucabanga okujulile ngale ndlela, kusenza singabi sengozini yokuthola ulwazi olunganembile oluvela kulabo abafuna ukusizakala ngathi ngezinjongo zabo zobugovu.

Ngizophetha ngokucaphuna kafushane abantu ababili abahlukene kakhulu. Okokuqala, lapho sibuyela eWest Point, kukhona lokhu okuvela esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme esathweswa iziqu eminyakeni eyikhulu edlule: “Zonke izibhamu ezenziwayo, yonke imikhumbi yempi ethululwayo, wonke amarokhethi adubulayo asho, ngomqondo wokugcina, ukweba kwalabo abalambile nabangekho. abadlile, ababandayo nabembathiwe.” Lowo kwakunguJenene Dwight Eisenhower owayesethathe umhlalaphansi, ngemva nje kokukhethwa njengoMongameli ngo-1952. Futhi okwesibili, isishoshovu esilwa nempi esingasekho uBaba uDaniel Berrigan kubikwa ukuthi wanikeza inkulumo emfushane yokuthweswa iziqu esikoleni samabanga aphezulu eyake yaba khona eDolobheni laseNew York. Konke akushilo yilokhu: “Yazi lapho omi khona, ume lapho.” Ake sikwenze lokho ndawonye. Ngiyabonga.
