Njengesazi semvelo semfashini, ngabona ukuthi ngeke babekhona ubulungiswa bezemvelo ngaphandle kobulungiswa bezenhlalo. Njengoba kunikezwe ukuthi impi ingenye yezinhlekelele ezibiza kakhulu kubantu kanye nomhlaba, ukuphela kwendlela eya phambili ukuba nezwe elingenayo impi.

Ngijoyine okusha Isahluko saseCalifornia of World BEYOND War entwasahlobo ka-2020. Ngokuyinhloko, ngibandakanyeka kumaphrojekthi wezemfundo nawomphakathi wokulwela ukuthula. Ngokukhethekile, ngisanda kwethula iProject Flag Project, iphrojekthi yezobuciko yokuthula yomhlaba. Isitolimende sokuqala sephrojekthi kwaba kukhonjiswe eCity Hall eHalf Moon Bay, eCalifornia.

Kungani uthi ukuthula yisayensi?
Esikhathini esedlule, intuthuko yezwe ibifanele ngokuthuthuka kwayo kwezesayensi. I-India yaziwa ngokusungulwa kwe-zero nephoyinti ledesimali. IBaghdad neTakshila kwakuyizikhungo ezinhle zokufunda ezazifundisa isayensi, izinkanyezi, ezokwelapha, izibalo nefilosofi. Isayensi ihlanganisa izifundiswa ezingamaKrestu, amaSulumane, amaJuda kanye namaHindu ezisebenza ngokubambisana ukuze kuthuthukiswe isintu.
Ngesimo samanje sobhadane, umuntu ubone umhlaba ubumbene ukulwa nesitha esingabonakali. Odokotela nabasebenza phambili babeke izimpilo zabo engcupheni ukuze basindise abamhlophe, abamnyama, ama-Asia, amaKrestu, amaJuda, amaHindu namaSulumane ngokufanayo. Isibonelo lapho inkolo, ubuhlanga, i-caste, nebala kufiphele khona kungenxa yesayensi. Isayensi isifundisa ukuthi sisezingeni eliphezulu endaweni yonke, nokuthi savela ezinkawini, ukuthi izakhi zofuzo ezenziwa ngamaYurophu zitholakala kubantu base-Afrika, ukuthi umbala wesikhumba sethu uncike ekusondeleni kwethu enkabazwe. Ngakho-ke ngigcizelela ukuthi isayensi ingasihlanganisa, nokuthi izingxabano ezibangelwe amazwe kumele zihlolisiswe futhi zifundwe ngokujulile. Njengoba izwe liqhubeka ngentuthuko yalo kwezesayensi, lingenza kanjalo nangokuthula. Ulwazi ngalokho lulele ekuqondeni isayensi ngemuva kwezingxabano namandla okuthula ukushukumisela umuntu enhliziyweni yalokho okuchaza umphakathi ophucukile nokhanyiselwe.
