Amazwi alethwe ngoNovemba 11th:
Ngalolu suku, eminyakeni engama-75 eyedlule, kwasayinwa isivumelwano sokuthula esasiqeda iWWII, futhi kusukela lapho, ngalolu suku, sikhumbula futhi sihlonipha izigidi zamasosha nezakhamizi ezafa eMpini Yezwe I no-II; kanye nezigidi nezigidi ezengeziwe ezafa, noma ezacekelwa phansi izimpi zazo, ezimpini ezingaphezu kwama-250 kusukela ngeWWII. Kepha ukukhumbula labo abashonile akwanele.
Kumele futhi sithathe lolu suku ukuqinisekisa ukuzibophezela kwethu ekuthuleni. U-Nov 11 ekuqaleni wayebizwa ngokuthi yi-Armistice Day - usuku oluqonde ukugubha Ukuthula. Siyakhohlwa angithi? Namuhla ngifunde iGlobe neMeyili, ukumboza ukumboza amakhasi ayi-XNUMX akhulume ngeRembrance, kepha angitholanga nokukodwa okushiwo ngegama elithi Peace.
Yebo, sifuna ukuhlonipha inkumbulo yalabo abashona. Kepha masingakhohlwa ukuthi impi iyinhlekelele, inhlekelele esingafuni ukuyidumisa kumabhayisikobho ethu nasezincwadini zethu zomlando nasezikhumbuzweni zethu naseminyuziyamu yethu nasezinsukwini zethu zokuKhumbula. Njengoba siqhubekela phambili kuyisifiso sethu sokuthula ukuthi sifuna ukunamathela ezinhliziyweni zethu futhi kungukuthula esifuna ukuthatha lonke ithuba ukugubha.
Lapho abantu behlikihla bethi "impi ingumuntu" noma "impi ayinakugwenywa", kufanele sibatshele ukuthi CHA - ukungqubuzana kungenakugwemeka kepha ukusebenzisa iMpi ukuyixazulula kuyisinqumo. Singakhetha ngokuhlukile uma sicabanga ngokuhlukile.
Ubuwazi ukuthi amazwe angakhetha impi yilawo anokutshalwa kwezimali okukhulu kwezempi. Abazi noma yini enye ngaphandle kwempi. Ukubeka ngamanye amagama u-Abraham Maslow, "Lapho konke onakho kuyisibhamu, konke kubukeka njengesizathu sokukusebenzisa". Asisakwazi ukubheka ngenye indlela futhi sivumele lokhu kwenzeke. Kukhona njalo ezinye izinketho.
Lapho umalume uFletcher eshona eseminyakeni yawo-80, ubaba wami, omncane ngeminyaka emibili, wakhuluma esikhumbuzweni sakhe. Ngokumangala kwami, ubaba waqala ukukhuluma, ngeqiniso, ngeWWII. Ngokusobala, yena noMalume Fletcher babesayine ndawonye, futhi benqatshwa ndawonye, ngenxa yokungaboni kahle.
Kodwa uBaba wami engazi, uMalume uFletcher wahamba, wabamba ngekhanda ishadi lamehlo wabe esejoyina ngempumelelo. Wayethunyelwe ukuyolwa e-Italy, akabuyanga yena lowo muntu. Ubelimele - sonke besikwazi lokho. Kodwa kwakucacile kimi, njengoba uBaba ayekhuluma, ukuthi wayengacabangi ukuthi nguyena owaba nenhlanhla. UMalume Fletcher wayeyiqhawe, futhi ngandlela-thile uBaba wayelahlekelwe udumo.
Lokhu ukucabanga okufanele sikuguqule. Akukho lutho oluhle ngempi. Ekhasini le-18 leGlobe lanamuhla ingqalabutho ichaza ukuhlaselwa kwe-Italy, lapho umalume wami alwa khona, “Amathangi, izibhamu, umlilo… KwakunguSihogo”.
Ngakho-ke namuhla, njengoba sihlonipha izigidi ezifele empini, masiqinisekise futhi ukuzibophezela kwethu ekukhetheni UKUTHULA. Singenza kangcono uma sazi kangcono.
Ukunikezela
Ngopoppy obomvu, sihlonipha abantu baseCanada abangaphezu kuka-2,300,000 abake basebenza kwezempi kuwo wonke umlando wesizwe sethu kanye nabangaphezu kuka-118,000 abazidela kakhulu.
Ngopoppy omhlophe, sikhumbula labo abake basebenza embuthweni wethu wezigidi KANYE nezigidi zabantu abavamile abafele empini, izigidi zezingane ezibe izintandane ngenxa yempi, izigidi zababaleki abasuswe emakhaya ngenxa yempi, kanye nokulimala okunobuthi kwemvelo kwempi. Sizibophezela ukuthula, ukuthula njalo, nokubuza imibuzo ngemikhuba yamasiko aseCanada, siyazi noma kungenjalo, ukujabulisa noma ukugubha impi.
Sengathi le wreath ebomvu nomhlophe ingabonisa wonke amathemba ethu emhlabeni ophephile futhi onokuthula.
