Okuncane Akufani Nokungekho

Ukukhuculula kumayelana nokuphila nokuncane, futhi njengoba ngivame ukusho, okuncane akufani nokungabibikho. Umndeni wami ufuna ukuphila impilo encane, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo sisaphila, siyaphefumula, singabantu. Sisenempahla. Kodwa sisebenze kanzima ukuze sibalekele ukuqoqa ngokweqile kwempahla.

Ngezinye izikhathi ngikhuluma “ngokuhlanza okuqondile” noma “ukuhlanza okuhleliwe” ukuze uthole engikushoyo. Angikhuthazi ukulahla konke okusemandleni omuntu. Kunalokho, ngikhuthaza abantu ukuthi balahle okungadingekile ukuze baphishekele kangcono imigomo yabo ekuphileni. Isibonelo, ngiyazifela ngomphefumulo wami, ngomndeni wami, nangokuthanda nokuthonya abanye. Ukukhuculula kuyindlela yokwenza lezi ziphetho kimi. Kususa iziphazamiso zomzimba ukuze ngikwazi ukubona izinto eziza kuqala kimina. 

Kungaba okufanayo nakuwe njengoba ukhetha ukuhamba endleleni yokunciphisa impahla. Phila nanganoma yiziphi izinto onazo ezikunikeza impilo oyifunayo. 

Khumbula ukuthi ukuhlela akufani nokunciphisa. Ukuhlela kunendawo yakho, kodwa ukuhlela izinto zethu ngaphandle kokukhipha okweqile kuyisixazululo sesikhashana. Enhliziyweni yakho, ukuhlela kuwukuhlela kabusha. Akuzuzisi muntu omunye—izimpahla esingavamile ukuzisebenzisa ziqhubeka nokuhlala egalaji noma egumbini elingaphansi noma abanye abantu bengazisebenzisa. Iphinde futhi ikhulume ngodaba oluyisisekelo lokuthi sithenga izinto eziningi kakhulu. Eqinisweni, izikhathi eziningi, isenzo sokuhlela kabusha izinto zethu sibiza kakhulu njengoba sithenga iziqukathi, amayunithi okugcina, noma amakhaya amakhudlwana ukuze sihlale. 

Uma ucabanga ngakho, isenzo sokuhlela izinto zethu zibe amabhokisi, imigqomo yepulasitiki, noma amakhabethe engeziwe kumayelana nokubambelela ekuqongeleleni kwethu ngokweqile. Akuvamile ukuthi kuvimbele ukuthambekela kwethu okuqhutshwa isiko lokuthola injabulo ezintweni zethu. Kungenzeka ukuthi sihlele kabusha izinto zethu, kodwa hhayi izimpilo zethu. 

Ngokuphambene, isenzo sokukhipha impahla ezindlini zethu sishintsha izinhliziyo zethu. Kuyikhambi elihlala njalo, kunokuba kube elesikhashana. Uma sesiyikhiphile into, ayisekho. Futhi lapho sikhipha lokho esingakudingi, sifinyelela izinga eliphezulu lempahla yethu, noma ngabe kungaba yini.

Ucabanga ukuthi imibono yakho eyiphutha mayelana nokuhlanza ikuvimbele kanjani ekwenzeni impilo yakho ibe lula?
