182. ISAHLUKO SESITHATHU

ISIQHUBEZO MALUNGANA NOKUNGENA EMPILWENI YAPHAKADE KWALABO ABAVUSWAKWABAFILEYO.

Lapho izingelosi zezulu lamazulu zibungaza ukumuntu osevusiwe, kazimshiyi, ngoba zibathanda bonke abavusiweyo. Kodwa uma umphefumulo womuntu usuwuhlobo lokuba ungabe usabungazwa yizingelosi zezulu lamazulu, ovusiweyo ulangazelela ukwehlukana nazo; nalapho sekufika lesisikhathi, kufika futhi nezingelosi zezulu lamazulu kuye maqede zimuphe usizo lokukhanya, ngo kuba ngaphambi kwalokhu ubengaboni lutho, kepha ubecabanga kuphela.

167. Kodwa ukuba kukhona umuntu owaziyo ukuthi zingakanani izimfihlakalo eziqukethwe kuleso nalesosahlukwana, ubeyokhexa umlomo. Ngokuba yileso naleso sahlukwana siqukethe izimfihlo noma izimfihlakalo eziningi kangangoba kazinakubalwa, yize lokhu kungabonakali nakancane engqondweni yemvelo ezilotshwe ngayo.
