Njengoba inkathi “yokuthula emhlabeni” isondela, abaningi bazithola bebhekene nokungezwani phakathi kwenhloso yokuzwana kwendawo yonke kanye neqiniso elimangalisayo lezingxabano zomhlaba wonke eziqhubekayo. Lokhu kungaboni ngaso linye kuhlanganiswe nodlame oluvame ukunganakwa olugxiliswe ezimpilweni zethu zansuku zonke, ikakhulukazi kumongo wezinketho zethu zokudla. Naphezu kokukhothamisa amakhanda okungokwesiko ngokubonga, izigidi zihlanganyela emadilini afanekisela ukubulawa kwabantu abangenacala, umkhuba ophakamisa imibuzo ejulile yokuziphatha.
Isazi sefilosofi esingumGreki sasendulo uPythagoras sake sagomela, “Inqobo nje uma abantu bebulala izilwane, bayobulalana bodwa,” umbono onanelwa emakhulwini eminyaka kamuva ka-Leo Tolstoy, owamemezela, “Uma nje kusenezindawo zokuhlatshwa, ziyoba khona. izinkundla zempi.” Laba bacabangi baqonda ukuthi ukuthula kweqiniso kuhlala kungenakwenzeka inqobo nje uma sihluleka ukuvuma nokubhekana nodlame oluhlelekile olulethwe ezilwaneni. I-athikili ethi “Izinkundla Zempi Ezizayo” idingida le webhu eyinkimbinkimbi yodlame, ihlola ukuthi ukuphatha kwethu abantu abanozwela kubonisa futhi kuqhuba kanjani ukungqubuzana okubanzi komphakathi.
Izigidigidi zezilwane ziphila futhi ziyafa njengempahla yokwanelisa izifiso zabantu, ukuhlupheka kwazo kunikezwa lezo ezinokukhetha okulinganiselwe. Ngaleso sikhathi, abathengi, ngokuvamile abaqapheli izinga eligcwele lonya oluhilelekile, bayaqhubeka nokweseka izimboni eziphumelelayo ekucindezelweni kwabasengozini. Lo mjikelezo wodlame nokuphika ugcwele yonke indawo yezimpilo zethu, unomthelela ezikhungweni zethu futhi ubambe iqhaza ezinkingeni nokungalingani esilwela ukukuqonda.
Isebenzisa imininingwane evela kokuthi “The World Peace Diet,” i-athikili ithi isiko lethu lokudla esilizuza njengefa lihlakulela umqondo wobudlova ongena buthule kokubili imikhakha yethu yangasese neyomphakathi. Ngokuhlola— imithelela yesimilo yemikhuba yethu yokudla, “Izinkundla Zempi Ezizayo” inselele abafundi ukuphinda bacabangele izindleko zangempela zokukhetha kwabo kanye nomthelela obanzi ekuthuleni komhlaba.
Yize abaningi bebhekene nesizini “yokuthula emhlabeni” bedabuke kakhulu ngezigameko zakamuva zomhlaba, akunzima ukuzibuza ukuthi kungani thina bantu sisehluleka ukuhlanganisa amachashazi uma kukhulunywa ngodlame emhlabeni, kanye nodlame esinalo. nathi ngokwethu siyahlanganyela kukho, ngisho nalapho sikhothamisa amakhanda ethu sibonga kuyilapho silungiselela ukudla izinsalela zalabo abahlatshelwe imikhosi yethu .
Ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe ngo-490 B.C.E., kwakunguPythagoras, omunye wezazi zefilosofi zamaGreki , owathi “Uma nje abantu bebulala izilwane, bayobulalana bodwa. Eminyakeni engaphezu kuka-2 000 kamuva, uLeo Tolstoy omkhulu waphinda wathi: “Uma nje kusekhona izindawo zokubulalela, kuzoba nezinkundla zempi.”
Laba bacabango abakhulu ababili babazi ukuthi asisoze sakubona ukuthula kuze kube yilapho sifunda ukwenza ukuthula, siqala ngokuqaphela ukucindezelwa okungenakuqhathaniswa kwezisulu ezingenacala zezenzo zethu.
Izigidigidi zabantu abanemizwa ziphila ukuphila kwazo njengezigqila zezifiso zethu kuze kube yilapho ukufa kulethwa endaweni yokubulala. Ukunikeza umsebenzi ongcolile kulabo abanezinketho ezimbalwa, abathengi abangabantu bathandazela ukuthula ngenkathi bekhokhela ukuboshwa nokuthunjwa kwezidalwa imizimba yazo eyenza imikhiqizo abayithengayo.
Imiphefumulo emsulwa futhi esengozini iphucwa amalungelo nesithunzi sayo ukuze labo abanamandla phezu kwayo bazibandakanye emikhubeni engadingeki nje kuphela, kodwa esusayo ngezindlela eziningi. Ubuntu babo nokubaluleka kwabo akunakwa nje kuphela yilabo abahlomula ngokwezimali, kodwa nalabo abathenga lokho okukhiqizwa yimizimba yabo.
Njengoba u-Will Tuttle echaza encwadini yakhe eyisiqalo, I-World Peace Diet:
Amasiko ethu okudla esiwuzuze njengefa adinga isimo sengqondo sodlame nokuphika esiphumela buthule kuzo zonke izici zokuphila kwethu kwangasese nesesidlangalaleni, singena ezikhungweni zethu futhi sidale izinkinga, izingqinamba, ukungalingani, kanye nokuhlupheka esikufunayo ukuze sikuqonde futhi sikulungise ngempumelelo. Indlela entsha yokudla ayisasekelwe emvuzweni, ekuthengeni nasekuxhashazweni akwenzeki nje kuphela kodwa ibalulekile futhi ayinakugwenywa. Ukuhlakanipha kwethu esizalwa nakho kuyakufuna.
Sikweleta izilwane ukuxolisa kwethu okukhulu. Bengenakuzivikela futhi bengakwazi ukuziphindiselela, babhekane nezinhlungu ezinkulu ngaphansi kombuso wethu iningi lethu elingakaze lizibonele noma livume. Manje ngokwazi kangcono, singenza kangcono, futhi senze kangcono, singaphila kangcono, futhi sinikeze izilwane, izingane zethu, kanye nathi ngokwethu isizathu sangempela sethemba nokugubha.
Ezweni lapho ukuphila kubhekwa njengokusebenziseka kalula, ukuphila okungenacala kuyochithwa noma nini lapho othile onamandla anele ezozuza, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukuphila okukhulunywa ngakho okwabantu abangebona abantu, amasosha, izakhamuzi, abesifazane, izingane noma abantu abadala.
Sibuka abaholi bethu bomhlaba beyala izinsizwa nezintombi ukuba zigawulwe empini ngemva kwempi ngemva kwempi, sifunda amazwi ezintatheli ezichaza izindawo zempi “njengezindawo zokuhlatshwa” lapho amasosha ephuthunyiswa emathuneni awo “njengezinkomo ezithunyelwa ekuhlatshweni,” futhi uzwe. amadoda nabesifazane ukuba khona kwabo kuphazamisa izinjongo zabanamandla abachazwa ngokuthi “izilwane.” Njengokungathi lona kanye igama ngokwalo lichaza labo abangenalo ilungelo lokuphila. Njengokungathi igama alichazi labo abophayo, labo abazizwayo, labo abathembayo nabanovalo. Njengokungathi igama alisichazi, ngokwethu.
Kuze kube yilapho siqala ukuhlonipha amandla aphilisa wonke umuntu olwela impilo yakhe, sizoqhubeka nokuwashaya indiva ngesimo somuntu.
Noma, beka enye indlela:
Uma nje abantu bebulala izilwane, bayobulalana bodwa.
Uma nje zisekhona izilaha, kuzoba nezinkundla zempi.
