947. ISAHLUKO 9. ISIQHUBEZO MALUNGANA NEZIHOGO.

LAPHA KUMALUNGANA NEZINYE IZIHOGO EZAHLUKILE KULEZO OSEKUKHULUNYWE NGAZO.

Abantu abaphila ngokukhohlisa abanye, abakholwa ukuthi bangazuza nomayini ngomacebo okukhohlisa, nasebazigxilisa ekukhohliseni besaphila emhlabeni wemvelo ngoba bephumelela ngakho, bazibona behlala emphongolweni othile ongasokhohlo, obizwa ngo “mphongolo wasesihogweni”, onesizibekelo, nangaphandle kwawo kumi indilingana phezu kwesisekela esinxantathu abawu thatha njengawowonke umhlaba abawubusayo nabawuphetheyo. Kubonakala kanjalo kubona. Labo abebegebenga abantu abamsulwa ngokubakhohlisa bahlala isikhathi eside kakhulu kulomphongolo, futhi ngitsheliwe ukuthi abanye babo sebehlale khona isikhathi esiyiminyaka engamakhulu amabili. Lapho bekhishwa kuwo baphuma sebenalutha okuzikhohlisa kangangoba bacabanga ukuthi wonke umhlaba nomkhathi uyimbulunga abahamba phezu kwawo bewunyathela ngezinyawo zabo, bengakhohliwe bengonkulunkulu noma izithixo zaleyombu lunga nomkhathi wayo. Bengivamile ukubabona nokukhuluma nabo ngalamalutha abo okuzikhohlisa. Kepha ngoba babevele benamalutha besaphila emhlabeni wemvelo kabazange basuke kulamalutha abo. Ngibonile futhi kaningana uku thi bayedusa noma bayikhohlisa kanjani imicabango yabanye abantu ngobuqili, nangokuphazima kweso baguqulele imicabango yabantu kwezinye izinto, bafake eminye imiqondo ezikhundleni zeminye, bekwenza lokhu ngendlela yokuba kungaziwa futhi kungabonakali ukuthi kwenziwa yibo, bekwenza futhi ngendlela elula ngokunswempu. Njengoba lemimoya inesimilo esinje, kayivunyelwa nakancane ukuba seduze kwabantu, ngoba ingabajova ngoshevu wayo ngendlela efi hlakele necashe kakhulu.
