Namuhla siphila ezweni lapho abantu bebonakala belangazelela ngaphezu kwanoma yini enye ukuthula komhlaba, kodwa abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi lokhu kungafezwa yini ngempela. Imithombo yezindaba igcwele imibiko yobudlova babantu, futhi ohulumeni abaningi, kuhlanganise nowethu, bazimisele ukubhebhethekisa futhi bathethelele ubudlova nokungabi nabulungisa. Sizosakha kanjani isisekelo sangempela sokuthula, ubulungisa kanye nokuzinza? Ingabe kungenzeka?
Isihluthulelo sokuphendula le mibuzo sisekuqondeni imithelela efinyelela kude yezinketho zethu zokudla kanye nemibono yomhlaba, kokubili okulolonga ikusasa lethu. Uma uthi nhlá, kungase kubonakale kungenakwenzeka ukuthi isihluthulelo esinamandla kangaka sokuthula kwezwe singaba into yansuku zonke njengomthombo wokudla. Uma sibhekisisa, singaqonda ukuthi iqiniso lethu elivamile lamasiko ligxile kakhulu ezimweni zengqondo, ezinkolelweni nasezenzweni ezihlobene nokudla. Iyamangalisa futhi ayibonakali imiphumela yezenhlalo, yengqondo nengokomoya yokuqukethwe kokudla kwethu, ishaya ngamandla kuzo zonke izici zempilo yethu.
Ukudla ngempela kuyingxenye ejwayeleke kakhulu nengokwemvelo yamagugu ethu amasiko. Ngokudla izitshalo nezilwane, samukela izindinganiso zesiko lethu namapharadigm awo emazingeni abaluleke kakhulu nasezingeni lokungazi lutho.
Ngokubeka abantu phezulu kombhoshongo wokudla weplanethi, isiko lethu ngokomlando liqhubekisele phambili umbono wezwe othize odinga amalungu awo ukuthi acindezele imizwa eyisisekelo kanye nokuqonda - futhi kuyinqubo yokuqeda amandla, futhi kufanele sikuqonde, uma sifuna ngempela ukuqonde, lokho kusekelwe izisekelo zengcindezelo. , ukuxhashazwa kanye nokwehluleka ngokomoya.
Uma sizijwayeza ukudla ukuze siphile ngokomoya kanye nokuzwana komphakathi, silandelela ukuxhumana okuthile okubalulekile okuvame ukudingwa imikhuba yethu yokudla ebangelwa amasiko ukuze ivinjwe ekuqwashiseni. Lo mkhuba uyisimo esidingekayo sokuthuthukisa isimo sokuqaphela lapho ukuthula nenkululeko kungenzeka khona.
Siphila phakathi kwenguquko ejulile yamasiko. Kuya ngokuya kucaca ukuthi izinganekwane ezindala eziwumgogodla wamasiko ethu ziyabhidlika. Siyaqonda ukuthi izimfundiso zayo eziyisisekelo seziphelelwe yisikhathi futhi uma siqhubeka nokuzilandela, lokhu ngeke kuholele nje ekucekeleni phansi kwemvelo kwezinhlelo eziyinkimbinkimbi nezintekenteke zeplanethi yethu, kodwa futhi nasekuzibhubhiseni kwethu.
Izwe elisha elisekelwe ekubambisaneni, ekukhululekeni, ekuthuleni, ekuphileni nasebunyeni lilwela ukuzalwa ukuze lithathe indawo yezinganekwane ezindala ezisekelwe ekuqhudelaneni, ukwahlukana, izimpi, umsebenzi kanye nenkolelo yokuthi amandla angenza ubulungisa. Ukudla okunomsoco kungenye yezinto ezidingekayo ezibaluleke kakhulu kulokhu kuzalwa, ngoba imikhuba yethu yokudla isithinta ngokujulile isimo sethu futhi inquma ukucabanga kwethu.
Ukudla okunomsoco kuyindlela eyinhloko isiko lethu elikhiqiza ngayo futhi lixhumane nohlelo lwalo lwamanani ngathi. Ukuthi lokhu kuzalwa kwezwe elisha kanye nengokomoya elithuthuke kakhulu kanye nokwazi kuzophumelela kuncike ekutheni singakwazi yini ukuguqula ukuqonda kwethu nokwenza kwethu ukudla okunomsoco.
Enye indlela yokudiliza izinganekwane ezigcwele amasiko ethu iwukuvusa uzwelo ezinhliziyweni zethu ngokuhlupheka kwabanye. Eqinisweni, ukusa ngaphakathi kwethu, ngokukaDonald Watson, owasungula igama elithi “vegan” ngo-1944, isifiso sokuphila ngendlela enciphisa unya kwabanye. Siqala ukuqonda ukuthi injabulo yethu nenhlalakahle yethu ihlobene nenhlalakahle yabanye. Lapho ububele buqhakaza kithi, siyakhululwa ekukhohlisweni kokuthi singathuthukisa inhlalakahle yethu ngokulimaza omunye umuntu, futhi esikhundleni salokho sivuse kithi isifiso sokuba amandla okubusisa abanye kanye nomhlaba.

Siyabona ukuthi ukukhethwa kwemikhiqizo yezilwane akunabuntu, ukuthola kwabo kuhlobene ngokuqondile nokuhlupheka nonya ngezindlela eziningi. Izilwane ziyathunjwa futhi zibulawe. Izilwane zasendle ziyavaleleka futhi ziyafa njengoba izindawo zazo ezihlala kuzo zicekelwa phansi, zicekelwa phansi njengezinto eziphilayo ukuze ziklabe imfuyo futhi zikhulise inani elikhulu lokusanhlamvu elidingekayo ukuze zondle. Abantu babulawa yindlala futhi bahlushwa ukungondleki ngoba okusanhlamvu kuphakelwa izilwane ezizoba ukudla kwabacebile. Amadela namapulazi aheha abasebenzi abenza umsebenzi omubi wokufaka emakhejini nokubulala izigidigidi zezilwane ezilwa nazo. Imvelo yezilwane zasendle ihlushwa ukungcola, ukufudumala kwembulunga yonke kanye neminye imiphumela yokufuywa kwezilwane.
Izizukulwane ezizayo zazo zonke izidalwa ziyozuza ifa Lomhlaba ocekelwe phansi imvelo futhi ogcwele impi nokucindezelwa.

Ifa lethu lamasiko liyinkimbinkimbi yezinkinga ezibonakala zingenakunqandeka ezisizungezile, njengezimpi ezingapheli, ubushokobezi, ukuqothulwa kohlanga, indlala, ukusabalala kwezifo, ukucekelwa phansi kwemvelo, ukushabalala kwezinhlobo zezilwane, unya lwezilwane, ukuthenga, ukuluthwa izidakamizwa, inyumbazane, ingcindezi, ukucwasa, ukucindezelwa kwabesifazane, ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane, ukuxhashazwa kwezinkampani, ukuthanda izinto ezibonakalayo, ubumpofu, ukungabi nabulungisa kanye nokucindezelwa komphakathi.
Umsuka wazo zonke lezi zinkinga usobala kangangokuthi ukwazi kalula ukuhlala ungabonakali ngokuphelele. Ekuzameni ukuxazulula izinkinga zezenhlalo, ezemvelo kanye nezomuntu ngamunye esibhekana nazo, singazinaki umsuka ozidalayo, siphatha izimpawu ngaphandle kokuqeda izimbangela zesifo ngokwaso. Imizamo enjalo ekugcineni iyohluleka.
Esikhundleni salokho, kufanele sakhe inethiwekhi yokuqonda nokuqwashisa okusisiza ukuthi sibone ukuxhumana phakathi kokukhetha kwethu ukudla, impilo yethu yomuntu ngamunye namasiko, imvelo yethu yeplanethi, ingokomoya lethu, isimo sethu sengqondo nezinkolelo zethu, kanye nokuhlanzeka kobudlelwane bethu.

Kuyacaca-ke, nokho, ukuthi icala lethu elihlangene mayelana nonya ezilwaneni nokuzidla kwenza ukuqaphela lokhu kuxhumana okuyisisekelo kube nzima kakhulu. Ukudla imikhiqizo yezilwane kuyimbangela eyinhloko yezingqinamba zethu, kodwa sizozulazula ngezindlela ezahlukene ukuze sigweme ukukuvuma.
Lena indawo yethu eyimpumputhe futhi iyisixhumanisi esingekho ekuzuzeni ukuthula nenkululeko. Isiko lethu liyakwamukela ukuxhashazwa kwezilwane, ukusetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza ukudla, futhi kufanele silokothe sibheke ngemuva kwamasiko ethu, sixoxe sodwa ngemiphumela yendlela yethu yokudla futhi siguqule ukuziphatha kwethu. Ukuziphatha kwethu njalo kubonisa ukuqonda kwethu, nokho ukuziphatha kwethu nakho kunquma ukuthi yiliphi izinga lokuqonda esingalifinyelela.
Ingoma yezwe, elangazelela ukuzalwa ngathi, idinga ukuba sibe nothando futhi siphile ngokwanele ukuzwa futhi sivume ubuhlungu esibuzwisa ngokuzijwayeza okudlulelwe yisikhathi. Sibizelwe ukuvumela umusa nomusa esizalwa nawo kukhanye futhi sikwazi ukumelana nezinganekwane ezifakwe kithi ezikhuthaza unya.
Umthetho wegolide, okhulunywa yiwo wonke amasiko enkolo omhlaba futhi obonwa abantu banoma yiliphi isiko nenkolelo, ukhuluma ngokungalimazi abanye. Izimiso okuxoxwe ngazo lapha zisebenza emhlabeni wonke futhi singaqondwa yithi sonke, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuliphi ilungu lenkolo noma ukungahlanganyeli.
