Kuyinto eyodwa ukugubha umoya womuntu lapho ubhekana nobunzima obukhulu. Kuyinto enye ukuvumela abakhiqizi bezikhali abasize ukudala ukuhlupheka baxhase imikhosi. UNick Deane uyachaza.
I-Invictus Imidlalo izojwayele bonke ababuka i-ABC, umgqugquzeli wabo futhi baxhasile. Imidlalweni izokwenzeka eSydney ngo-Okthoba, abahlanganyeli abasebenza ngokulimala emazweni e-18.
Kuyashukumisa kakhulu ukubona umoya wesintu unqoba ukunqunywa komzimba womuntu. Ubani ongahluleka kodwa ahlatshwe umxhwele ngobuqhawe babantu abadlala iqhaza? Njengoba iNdaba Yemidlalo isitshela, baye babhekana nokulimala kokuphila kodwa baye ngathola ngandlela-thile isisusa sokungavumeli lokho ukulimala kuchaze.
Kusukela kulokho esikubonayo, kubonakala sengathi banempilo enhle kokubili ngokwengqondo nangokwenyama, naphezu kwezinxeba ezimbi abaye bahlupheka ngazo. Lokhu kuyamangalisa. Futhi kuyafaneleka ngempela ukuthi lo mdlalo udlala indima ebalulekile ekuvuseleleni kwabo.
I-admirable futhi yikhono nokuzinikezela kwalabo abababuyisa ekuqhathanisweni kwezempilo kanye nokukwazi ukubuyela emphakathini - odokotela nabahlengikazi, ochwepheshe abadala imishini nezidakamizwa, nabanakekeli namalungu omndeni abagcina esimweni sabo samanje inhlalakahle. Kukhona ngokucacile ithimba lonke labantu ngemuva komunye, umhlanganyeli ngamunye.
Le ngxenye yendaba iboniswa umphakathi jikelele ngokukhanya okukhazimulayo. Ngaphansi kwalo, sibona ubuqhawe babantu abaye babhekana nezinhlekelele ezingavamile futhi bazizwe beqhosha ngokufezeka kwabo. Kodwa-ke, sidangele ukuhlola imithunzi lapho kukhanya khona, lapho kukhona amanga okungeke agcwalise isithombe.
Kulabo abalimele, sibona kuphela labo abaye bahlula amanxeba abo okukhubaza. Abanye, ngaphandle kokukhanya okukhanyayo, abakutholanga ukugqugquzela okudingekayo, noma abonakalisiwe kangangokuthi ukubabona kuzosilimaza.
Ingabe azibonakali, ukuze zingabikho ezingqondweni zethu? Ngaphandle kwalokho, cishe kukhona abanye abavela ngaphandle kwabo siqu izingqondo, ukuhlupheka Ukucindezeleka Okudabukisayo. Siphila, cishe kuphela, kumaqhawe. Ukuziqhenya ngokuphumelelayo kuthatha amehlo ethu kulabo abangakwazi noma ngeke 'baphuluke'.
Kukhona inhlanzi yokuncintisana kulokhu (kungenxa yezemidlalo). Umoya wabo ungase unganqotshwa, kodwa, ngaphandle kwalokho, ushaywe kabi. Ukubanika igama elikhethekile alishintshi lokho.
Bonke abahlanganyeli baye bahlangabezana nokuhlukumezeka kokuphila okumele bakhuthazele uma nje behlala. Ukutshela ukuthi bayathandekayo ngoba baye bahlupheka 'ekusebenzeni kwezwe labo' isinxephezelo esanele - ngisho nesithembiso sokusekelwa kwezempilo nokusekela isikhathi eside sempilo.
Lawa magama -'ukusebenza kwezwe lawo '- abe nokukhanya okungenalutho. Bonke abahlanganyeli be-Invictus bavela ezimpini zamuva. Endabeni yase-Australia, siye sajoyina lezi zimpi ngaphandle kokuzikhethela, hhayi isidingo. Ekuhloleni okuhloswe kubo, akukho basebenzi abangasetshenziswa ngokusemthethweni ukuthi balimala ekuvikeleni i-Australia. Isikhathi sokuphela kwe-ADF esizivikele e-Australia kwaba phakathi nomkhankaso we-New Guinea we-WW2.
Futhi emathunzini, kodwa okuphawulekayo, yiqiniso lokuthi phakathi kwabasekeli beMidlalo kukhona abakhiqizi bezikhali ezinkulu - Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Leidos noSaab. Kukhona into ehlukumeza kakhulu ngalokhu.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi lezi zinkampani kanye nabanikazi bamasheya zabo zikhula zicebile ngokudala, ukuthengisa, ukucwaninga nokuqhubekayo 'kwezikhali' nezikhali zezikhali. Kodwa kuyisikhali esiye sabangela ukulimala okulimazayo okuxhaswe ngabahlanganyeli beMidlalo.
Akusikhiphe iqhwa ukuthi "Our ukulimala kwabangelwa zabo izikhali. "
Iziqhumane ema-IED cishe kungenzeka zivela kulezi zinkampani ezihlukahlukene. Labo abahlanganyela empini akuyona into yokukhetha ukuthi izikhali zabo zivelaphi. Ngokufanayo, labo abazithengisayo bayajabula uma nje amakhasimende abo akhokha.
Izikhali kanye neziqhumane ezenziwe yethu uhlangothi lungagcina lulimale kalula yethu abasebenzi, futhi kungenzeka. Siphazamiseka ngabadayisi bemikhiqizo elimazayo efana nemicimbi yezemidlalo yokubheja ugwayi. Yini engaba yingozi kakhulu kunezikhali ezithengiswa ngesithembiso 'sokubulala' kwabo?
Indlela abakhiqizi bezikhali abangakwazi ngayo ukuvumelanisa ibhizinisi labo eliyisisekelo ngokusekela i-Invictus Games, kungcono kakhulu, kunenkinga. Okubi nakakhulu, kuyinto engacabangi. Kungase kube yinkinga yokuthinta. Ngeke kwenzeke ukuthi isisusa sabo siwukuzikhulula ngokwecala. Abahleli bangase bazibuze ukuthi kungani bavumela ilungiselelo elinjalo.
Ukucabangela ukuhweba kwezikhali kuphakamisa esinye isici esimnyama. Kuthiwani ngalabo abalimele ku zabo uhlangothi? Kuthiwani ngokulimala okulimazayo 'ezitheni' zethu (izitha, okumele kuthiwa, zazingakaze zikwazi ngisho ukusongela i-Australia). Ukulimala kufana nalabo yethu abantu bathwala, ngokungangabazeki, ukuzalwa ngabanye kwezinye izindawo - emazweni angaphansi kwamandla ase-Australia, anezinsiza ezimbalwa nezinsizakalo ezingavamile kakhulu zokwelashwa. They kungaba ukuphila okuhlushwa nokubhujiswa ngokuphelele. Ingabe bayobe bephethe imidlalo ye-Invictus? 'Ukufutheka kwenhlanhla' kungase kube umlayezo ofihliwe.
Ngokugxila ekunqobeni ukubhekana nokuhlupheka ngokusebenzisa 'umoya wokulwa wabasebenzi bethu abalimele nabesifazane', i-Invictus inikeza isibonelo esithile somkhuba wempi nomqhawe ogijimela kakhulu emphakathini wase-Australia.
Njengosuku lwe-ANZAC nosuku lokukhunjulwa, le midlalo ihambisana kahle nenkolelo yenkazimulo nenani lemisebenzi yezempi. Kodwa-ke, isikhathi lapho izimpi zilwa nabanamaqhawe bezidlulile esikhathini esidlule, zithathwe umkhondo wezobuchwepheshe bezempi.
Ngokuyiningi izisulu zezimpi zanamuhla zingabantu abangenacala, abangewona impi. Isikhathi esiphezulu saziwa, eceleni kwezempi. Ukugxila kuphela kwabasebenzi bezempi kuyayinaki umthelela owodwa, omkhulu kunawo wonke wempi yanamuhla.
Esikhundleni sokuvumela le midlalo iqiniseke, abantu abahlukunyeziwe abahlanganyelayo kufanele basikhumbuze ukuthi ukujoyina izimpi ezingadingekile kuza ngezindleko ezimbi. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi 'baqedile' kanjani 'ukubuyisela' kwabo, izimpilo zabadlali abashintshiwe kuze kube phakade - futhi ngezizathu ezingabaza.
Kuyaphazamiseka ukuthi umuntu angayisekela le midlalo, ahloniphe amandla angaphakathi alabo abahlanganyela futhi azisole iqiniso lokuthi ayadingeka. Umuntu angajabula ngokuthi iMidlalo iyaqhubeka, iyazisa indima enhle abayidlale nayo futhi ijabulele lo mboniso, kanti ngesikhathi esifanayo ihlangabezana nentukuthelo kwabanye abaxhasi futhi ngenxa yokuthi imidlalo iyadingeka, isiko lempi 'siyaqhubeka sikhule.
