Isazi sefilosofi esidumile, umbhali-umbhali wemidlalo yeshashalazi uGeorge Bernard Shaw wayebheka zonke izilwane njengabangane bakhe futhi wathi ngenxa yalokho wayengenakuzidla. Wayecasulwe ukuthi abantu badla inyama, futhi ngaleyo ndlela “bacindezela ingcebo engokomoya ephakeme kakhulu kubo—uzwelo nozwelo ngezidalwa eziphilayo ezinjengazo.” Kuyo yonke impilo yakhe yabantu abadala, umlobi wayaziwa njengomuntu odla imifino oqinisekile: kusukela eneminyaka engu-25 wayeka ukudla imikhiqizo yezilwane. Akazange akhononde ngempilo yakhe, waphila waze waba neminyaka engu-94 ubudala futhi wasinda kodokotela abathi, ngokukhathazeka ngesimo sakhe, batusa kakhulu ukufaka inyama ekudleni kwabo.
Impilo yokudala kaBernard Shaw
IDublin yidolobha lase-Ireland lapho kwazalelwa khona umbhali odumile wakusasa uBernard Shaw. Uyise wayephuza ngokweqile, ngakho-ke umfana wayehlala ezwa izingxabano phakathi kwabazali bakhe emndenini. Lapho esefinyelele ebusheni, uBernard kwadingeka athole umsebenzi futhi aphazamise imfundo yakhe. Eminyakeni emine kamuva, unquma ukuthuthela eLondon ukuze afeze iphupho lakhe lokuba ngumbhali wangempela. Sekuyiminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye umbhali osemusha eqamba ngokuzimisela. Amanoveli amahlanu ashicilelwa, lapho ethola khona imali eyishumi nanhlanu yesheleni.
Ngesikhathi eneminyaka engama-30, uShaw wathola umsebenzi wokuba intatheli emaphephandabeni aseLondon, wabhala ukubuyekeza komculo nezeshashalazi. Futhi eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili kuphela kamuva waqala ukubhala imidlalo yeshashalazi, okuyisiteji sayo, ngaleso sikhathi, esasenziwa kuphela kumathiyetha amancane. Umbhali uzama ukusebenza ngezinkomba ezintsha emdlalweni. Kepha udumo nokuphakama kokudala kuza kuShaw eneminyaka engama-56. Ngalesi sikhathi wayesevele esaziwa ngemidlalo yakhe ecacile yefilosofi ethi Caesar and Cleopatra, Arms and Man, neDeveli's Apprentice. Ngalesi sikhathi, unikeza umhlaba omunye umsebenzi oyingqayizivele - umdlalo wamahlaya "iPygmalion"!
Kuze kube manje, uBernard Shaw waziwa njengowukuphela komuntu onikezwe i-Oscar neNobel Prize. UShaw wasibonga isinqumo esinjalo sejaji, ukumenza abe ngumklomelo womunye wemiklomelo ephezulu emkhakheni wezincwadi, kepha wenqaba umklomelo wemali.
Ngama-30s, umbhali wemidlalo wase-Ireland waya "esimeni sethemba," njengoba uShaw abiza iSoviet Union futhi wahlangana noStalin. Ngokubona kwakhe, uJoseph Vissarionovich wayengusopolitiki onekhono.
Ubungqingili, imifino
UBernard Shaw wayengagcini ngokudla imifino kuphela kodwa futhi wayezijabulisa ngokocansi. Ngakho-ke impilo yombhali omkhulu yathuthukisa ukuthi ngemuva kowesifazane wokuqala nowukuphela kwakhe (wayengumfelokazi, ibala elikhuluphele kakhulu), akasabindanga ukuba nobuhlobo obuseduze nanoma yimuphi ubulili obulungile. UShaw uthathe ucansi "njengolwesabekayo noluphansi". Kepha lokhu akuzange kumvimbe ukuthi angashada eneminyaka engama-43, kodwa ngombandela wokuthi ngeke kube khona ukusondelana phakathi kwabashadikazi. UBernard Shaw wayeyinakekela impilo yakhe, ehola indlela yokuphila esebenzayo, ethanda ukushibilika eqhweni, ibhayisikili, wayehlukaniswa ngotshwala nokubhema. Wahlola isisindo sakhe nsuku zonke, wabala okuqukethwe kwekhalori lokudla, ecabangela umsebenzi, ubudala, ukudla.
Imenyu kaShaw yayiqukethe izitsha zemifino, amasobho, irayisi, amasaladi, uphudingi, amasoso enziwe ngezithelo. Umbhali wemidlalo wase-Ireland wayenombono ongemuhle ngamasekisi, ama-zoo nokuzingela, futhi waqhathanisa izilwane ekuthunjweni kweziboshwa zaseBastille. UBernard Shaw wahlala ehamba futhi enengqondo ecacile kwaze kwaba yiminyaka engama-94 futhi akazange abulawe ukugula, kodwa ngenxa yethanga eliphukile: wawa esitebhisini ngenkathi esika izihlahla.
