Iingcambu zityalo zingaluthintela njani ingcamango yengqondo xa izityalo zitsalwa ukuba zifumane ingqalelo?
I-Vegetarianism icetyiswe kwinqanaba elithile lokuphuhliswa, injongo kukuba kukoyisa inkanuko, ukulawula iminqweno yomzimba kwaye ngaloo ndlela kuthintele ingqondo ekuphazamisekeni. Ukuze ulawule iminqweno umntu kufuneka abe nomnqweno kwaye ukuze akwazi ukugxila kwingqondo, umntu kufuneka abe nengqondo. Elo nxalenye yengqondo engafakwanga emzimbeni, ichaphazela loo mzimba ngobukho bayo kwaye ichaphazeleke nomzimba. Ingqondo kunye nomzimba zisabela komnye komnye. Umzimba wenziwa kukutya okuthe kratya okufakwe emzimbeni, kwaye umzimba usebenza njengemvelaphi okanye ingqangi yengqondo. Umzimba kukuxhathisa okusebenza kwengqondo kwaye yomelele. Ukuba umzimba ngumzimba wemifuno esikhundleni somzimba wesilwanyana uya kusabela engqondweni ngokobunjani bayo kwaye ingqondo ayizukufumana amandla wokuchasa okanye amandla okusebenza kunye nokukhulisa amandla kunye namandla ayo. Umzimba otya kwi-mush kunye nobisi awunakubonakalisa amandla engqondo. Ingqondo esebenza kumzimba eyakhelwe phezu kobisi kunye nemifuno iye ingoneliseki, ingabinakukhathazeka, inyibilike, ingazithembi kwaye ithathele ingqalelo ebubini behlabathi, kuba iswele amandla okubamba nokulawula, anokuthi amandla omzimba owomeleleyo abenawo.
Ukutya imifuno kuyawenza buthathaka iminqweno, kuyinyaniso, kodwa akuwubambi umnqweno. Umzimba sisilwanyana kuphela, ingqondo kufuneka iwusebenzise njengesilwanyana. Ekulawulweni kwesilwanyana umniniso ebengayi kusenza buthathaka, kodwa ebeya kuthi, ukuze sisebenziseke kakhulu, asigcine sisempilweni yaye siqeqeshwe kakuhle. Okokuqala fumana isilwanyana sakho esomeleleyo, emva koko usilawule. Xa umzimba wesilwanyana ubuthathaka ingqondo ayikwazi ukuwubamba ngemithambo-luvo. Abo baziyo bacebise ngokutya imifuno kuphela kwabo sele benomzimba owomeleleyo, osempilweni kunye nengqondo esempilweni entle, emva koko, kuphela xa umfundi enokungabikho ngokuthe ngcembe kumaziko anabantu abaninzi.
