IHEFA LENKONZO

Isondo lethamsanqa lijikela bonke: abaphantsi nabakhulu. Umzimba ivili. UMenzi kuyo wenza ithamsanqa lakhe, aze ajike ivili lakhe, ngento acinga ngayo nayenzayo. Ngokwakucingayo nokwenzayo, ishukumisa umzimba wayo ukusuka kwisikhululo ukuya kwesinye; kwaye kubomi omnye unokuhlala etshintsha ithamsanqa lakhe kwaye adlale iinxalenye ezininzi. Ngokwakucingayo nangokwenzayo uMenzi ubhala ukudlala kwaye ayile iVili ngethamsanqa lakhe xa iphinda ibakho komnye umzimba womntu.

Umhlaba linqanaba apho uMthengi adlala khona iinxalenye zalo. Ithatha kakhulu kumdlalo kangangokuba iyakholelwa ukuba ngamalungu kwaye ingazi ukuba ngumbhali womdlalo kunye nomdlali wamacandelo.

Akukho mntu kufuneka aziphakamise kangangokuba ujonge abantu abathobekileyo ngokudelela, kuba nokuba wayengoyena mntu unamandla phakathi kweenkosana, iimeko zinokumthoba kwimeko yangaphandle. Ukuba imeko ithe yavumela umntu oxhwalekileyo ukuba aziphakamise kubuhlwempu aze emandleni, ukuqiqa kufuneka kuthintele isandla sakhe, hleze abuyele ebuhlungu kwaye abe sentlungwini.

Ngokuqinisekileyo njengoko kukho ukukhanya kwelanga kunye nesithunzi, lonke iDoor likwakhona ngamanye amaxesha emzimbeni womntu okanye emzimbeni womfazi, ubutyebi okanye ubuhlwempu, imbeko okanye ihlazo. Bonke abaSebenzi banamava aqhelekileyo kunye nobomi obugqithisileyo bobomi bomntu; bangabohlwayi okanye bavuze, bangaphakamisi okanye baphose ezantsi, bangazukisi okanye bajongele phantsi, kodwa, ukuze bona bafunde.

Ezi meko zinika uMenzi amava kumaphupha obomi, ukuze umntu ngamnye azive enobuntu kubudlelwane obuqhelekileyo bomntu; ukuba, nokuba iimeko zabo ziphakeme okanye zisezantsi, kuya kubakho uqoqo oluqhelekileyo lohlobo lomntu, ngokufanayo kuzo zonke. UMenzi odlala indima yobukhoboka unemfesane kuMphathi oyinxalenye yakhe nenkosi engenamsebenzi; Lowo uyenzayo inkosi yakhe unokuba nosizi ngenxa yalowo wenza ukuthanda kwakhe. Kodwa apho kukho ukuqonda phakathi komqeshi nalowo ukhonzayo, phakathi komphathi nomphathi, ke elowo kubo bonke bobubele.

Umntu ophikayo ukubizwa for unesifo sokuziphindezela. Bonke abantu ngabakhonzi. Lowo ukhonza ngokungathandabuzekiyo, ulikhoboka elihlwempuzekileyo, kwaye ukhonza ngaphandle kwembeko. Isicaka esikhohlakeleyo senza inkosi ilukhuni. Elona lungelo liphezulu kuyo nayiphi na iofisi kukusebenza kakuhle kuloo ofisi. I-Ofisi kaMongameli wase-United States inika umnini welo ofisi ithuba lokuba sisicaka esikhulu saseMelika; hayi inkosi yabo kunye nenkosi yabo; kwaye inganeli iphathi okanye abambalwa babantu, kodwa kubo bonke abantu kwaye ngaphandle kweqela okanye udidi.

Ubudlelwane obuqondayo phakathi kweDover kwimizimba yabantu buya kuwenza mhle umhlaba, bomeleze abantu kunye nokuzinzisa ubumbano phakathi kwabantu. Imizimba yeemaski apho abaDlali bedlala ngamalungu abo. Bonke abaSebenzi banokungafi, kodwa banxiba imizimba kwaye imizimba iyafa. Unokwenza njani ukuba uMenzi ongafiyo abe mdala, nangona lowo ungafiyo enxibe isigqubuthelo esibi!

Ubudlelwane abuthethi ukuba umntu okwisikhululo esisezantsi unokuhlala okanye ahlala ecaleni kwenye yendawo ephezulu kakhulu kwaye athethe ngokukhululekileyo. Akakwazi, nangona ebenako. Kananjalo oko akuthethi ukuba ofundileyo kufuneka alale ngokungekho luhlu. Akakwazi, nokuba angazama. Ukuba nobudlelwane obuqhelekileyo okanye ubudlelwane phakathi kweDover kwimizimba yabantu kuthetha ukuba iDoer nganye iya kuba nembeko eyaneleyo ngokwayo, kunye nembeko eyoneleyo ngomzimba ekuyo, ukuba ayizukuzivumela ukuba ilibale ngokwayo kunye nenxalenye edlalayo Iya kuba bubudenge.

Hayi indlela ebekuya kuba yinto ehlekisayo ngayo kubantu abaphantsi kwaye omkhulu ukuhamba ngengalo kwaye uncokole nomdla oqhelekileyo! Yintoni ke enokuziva ineentloni ngakumbi okanye yenze abanye bazive bekhululekile? Ukuba i-Doer nganye yayizazi njengeDoor kunye nenxalenye edlale ngayo, bekungayi kubakho mfuneko yokudlala kwamacandelo, kwaye umdlalo uphela. Qha: isihlobo esikwaziyo akufuneki siphazamise okanye siphazamise ubudlelwane babantu.

UMenzi uya kubamba kwaye ugcine umzimba ukujikeleza kwawo de, ngokucinga nokwenza imisebenzi yakhe, uyakutshintsha indlela ezijikeleze ngayo imizimba yayo ngokunxulumene nemizila yemizimba yabanye abaSebenzisi. Ke uMgcini uyakuqonda ukuba umzimba okuyo ivili lawo lethamsanqa, kwaye lijika ivili layo. Emva koko kunokudityaniswa komdla kunye noxanduva lwabantu besizwe-kunye nehlabathi. Emva koko kuya kubakho idemokrasi yokwenene, ukuzilawula, emhlabeni.
