Lesi sigaba siphenya izinga lomuntu lokuxhashazwa kwezilwane—indlela thina njengabantu ngabanye nemiphakathi esithethelela ngayo, esisekela, noma esimelana ngayo nezinhlelo zonya. Kusukela kumasiko amasiko nokuncika kwezomnotho kuye empilweni yomphakathi nezinkolelo zomoya, ubudlelwano bethu nezilwane bubonisa izindinganiso esiziphethe kanye nezakhiwo zamandla esihlala kuzo. Ingxenye ethi “Abantu” ihlola lokhu kuxhumana, iveze ukuthi inhlalakahle yethu ixhumene ngokujule kangakanani nezimpilo esizibusayo.
Sihlola ukuthi ukudla okusindayo kwenyama, ukulima kwezimboni, nochungechunge lokuhlinzekwa komhlaba wonke kulimaza kanjani ukondliwa kwabantu, impilo yengqondo, kanye nomnotho wendawo. Izinkinga zempilo yomphakathi, ukungavikeleki kokudla, nokuwohloka kwemvelo akuzona izehlakalo ezingazodwa—kuyizimpawu zesimiso esingenakubekezelelwa esibeka phambili inzuzo phezu kwabantu neplanethi. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, lesi sigaba sigqamisa ithemba noguquko: imindeni yezilwane ezidla inyama, abasubathi, imiphakathi, nezishoshovu ezicabanga kabusha ubudlelwano babantu nesilwane futhi zakha izindlela zokuphila eziqinile nezinozwela.
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.
Amakhreyithi okumitha kwezingulube awumkhuba ophikisana kakhulu ekufuyweni kwezilwane zanamuhla. Lezi zindawo ezincane, ezivalekile zisetshenziselwa ukuhlalisa izingulube zezinsikazi, noma izingulube, ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa kwazo. Lo mkhuba uye wavusa izinkulumo-mpikiswano ezivamile eziphathelene nenhlalakahle yezilwane, njengoba ngokuvamile uphumela ekucindezelekeni okuphawulekayo ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo ezilwaneni ezihilelekile. Lesi sihloko sidingida ukuthi ayini amakhreyithi okukhulelwa, kungani esetshenziswa ekulimeni kwezimboni, kanye nokukhathazeka ngesimilo akuphakamisayo. Ayini Amakhreyithi Okukhulelwa? Amakhreyithi okumitha, abuye abizwe ngokuthi amatafula engulube, ayizibaya ezincane, ezivalekile ezenziwe ngensimbi noma ngocingo ezenzelwe ukubamba izingulube ezikhulelwe (ezingulubeni) ezindaweni zokulima ezimbonini. Lawa makhreyithi enziwe ngokukhethekile ukuze avimbele ukuhamba kwengulube phakathi nenkathi yokukhulelwa kwayo, anikeze indawo encane yokuzivivinya. Imvamisa ayilinganisi ngaphezu kwamamitha amabili ububanzi namafidi ayisikhombisa ubude, idizayini incane ngamabomu, ivumela ingulube ensikazi isikhala esanele sokuma noma ukuqamba amanga ...
