NguJerry Maynard nge-Campaign Nonviolence Houston
Esikhathini lapho izimpi zazo zonke izinhlobo ziqhutshwa emhlabeni wonke, i-Campaign Nonviolence-Houston ibiza bonke abenzi bokuthula, abahleli, izishoshovu, abazali abathintekayo, othisha, nabenza okuhle ukuba bahlanganyele emkhankasweni wezinsuku ze-30 wokumelana nokudala emhlabeni wethu impi. Ngenyanga kaNovemba, sethula lo “mkhankaso oyingxubevange”, ohlanganisa ubushoshovu be-inthanethi/sokuxhumana nabantu kanye nobushoshovu basendaweni ukuze wonke umuntu abambe iqhaza ngendlela ephusile. Usuku ngalunye lunikezelwe ohlotsheni oluhlukile lokusebenzelana futhi uyamenywa ukuba uhlanganyele kulo msebenzi omkhulu wezwe elingenayo impi!
Simise ngenhloso lo mkhankaso ngezinhlobo zokuxoxisana ezisekelwe kumodeli yokumelana uGandhi ayibiza ngokuthi “uhlelo olwakhayo noluvimbelayo”. Sikukhuthaza ukuthi uphume uye enkundleni yomphakathi (ku-inthanethi futhi mathupha), ukuze “uvimbe” ibhizinisi njengenjwayelo. Khetha ukungabambisani nokuqeqeshwa okuvamile kwansuku zonke ngodlame esibhekana nalo emasikweni ethu. Yithi cha odlameni ngokuzinikela ekuqambeni. Ngokuzibophezela ekubeni yisidalwa esidala, ube usuqala ukuzibandakanya ohlelweni "olwakhayo", lapho uthi yebo kukho konke okukhiqizayo, okunobuhlakani, okuthelayo, nokuqhubekayo. Lena indlela yokuphila yabantu abangenalo udlame nabaguqulayo.
Ukuthatha le nyanga kaNovemba ukuze sihlanganyele kulolu hlobo lwesenzo kusivumela ukuthi sizilolonge ukudala ukuthula ezicini zakhona eziqinile nezingokoqobo. Nokho, kufanele sikhumbule ukuthi ukumelana kufanele kube okufanayo. Ukungaguquguquki kuyisici esiyinhloko sokwenza ukuthula esivame ukukhohlwa ngaso; empeleni, uMama Teresa wake wathi, “asibizwanga ukuba siphumelele, sibizelwe ukwethembeka”. Ukwethembeka kumishini kuyisihluthulelo soshintsho olunenjongo. Gcina lokhu engqondweni ngenkathi uhlanganyela kulo mkhankaso wezinsuku ezingu-30. Sikumema ukuthi ukhethe izinsuku ezimbili ohlwini olungezansi, futhi uhlanganyele kulezo zindlela ezimbili zokusebenzelana zenyanga kaNovemba, bese ekupheleni komkhankaso uhlole ukuthi konke kuhambe kanjani futhi uqhubeke njengengxenye evamile yokumelana kwakho!
