wesandulelisa

Kusuka encwadini enkulu, Ukucabanga Nekusasa, izifundo ezithile zikhethiwe ukuthi zihlolisiswe kahle Indoda nowesifazane noMntwana. Lolu lwazi lubaluleke kakhulu enhlalakahleni yawo wonke amadoda, abesifazane nengane.

Mayelana nenkinga yaphakade yabobulili, i-Percival iveza ngqo ukuthi kungani kungenzeki ukuthi amadoda nabesifazane baphila ngenkani isikhathi eside, kungaba bobabili noma bengathandani. Ukwakha okungaphezulu nje kwendlela yokusebenza kwengqondo, le ncwadi ichaza incazelo yangempela yowesilisa nowesifazane. Lolu lwazi lufanele ukwethenjwa kwethu hhayi ngoba luvumelana namaqiniso, kodwa futhi lunikeza ukhiye wokuthola ukuvumelana okukhulu nenjabulo phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane. Umfundi uzofunda ukuthi angakwazi kanjani, futhi kumele, aguqule kanye lendwangu nokwakheka kwalokho esikubiza ngokuthi “okwomuntu.” Umphumela walo mzamo ngeke ube ngaphansi koshintsho olunamandla, lokuguqula isimo.

Lapho abantu abadala beqonda imfihlakalo yabo uqobo — imvelo yabo yangempela — babe namandla okuxhumana nezingane ngendlela ezothuthukisa izinga lempilo yabo. Isibonelo, “Ngivelaphi?” Ngumbuzo obuzwa cishe yingane yonke emhlabeni jikelele. Indoda Nomfazi Nezingane inikeza impendulo yalo mbuzo ovumelana nemvelaphi nomsebenzi wezidalwa zethu. Izingane ezihlomulile ngohlobo lokuholwa ngabazali nemfundo enconyelwe kule ncwadi ngeke zithole kuphela inzuzo engenakulinganiswa impilo yazo yonke, kodwa zizokwazi ukufaka isandla ekuphulukisweni kweplanethi nayo.

Lezi ngezinye zezihloko ezimbalwa nje ezenza le ncwadi encane ibe yigugu okufanele laziwe.
