Kusukela kumasiko amasiko nokuncika kwezomnotho kuye empilweni yomphakathi nezinkolelo zomoya, ubudlelwano bethu nezilwane bubonisa izindinganiso esiziphethe kanye nezakhiwo zamandla esihlala kuzo.

Ngokubhekana nezimiso zokuziphatha, amasiko, kanye nemithelela engokoqobo yokusetshenziswa kwezilwane, nathi sibhekana nathi. Hlobo luni lomphakathi esifuna ukuba yingxenye yalo? Izinqumo zethu zibonisa noma zikhaphela kanjani izindinganiso zethu? Indlela eya ebulungisa—ezilwaneni nakubantu—iyafana. Ngokuqwashisa, uzwela, kanye nesenzo, singaqala ukulungisa ukunqanyulwa obhebhethekisa ukuhlupheka okungaka, futhi siye ekusaseni elinobulungisa neliqhubekayo.
