Yini eyasikhuthaza ukuba sishushise imibono yethu? Sivunyelwe kangakanani ukuphikisa imibono yethu kulabo abanye?
Umbono uwumphumela wokucabanga. Umbono umbono ophethwe phakathi kwenkolelo nje nolwazi oluphathelene nezihloko noma izinto. Umuntu onombono ngento, uhlukaniswa nalabo abanolwazi noma inkolelo nje mayelana nendaba. Omunye unombono ngoba uye wacabanga ngendaba. Umbono wakhe ungase ulungile noma ungalungile. Ukuthi ilungile noma cha kuyoncika emagcekeni nasendleleni yakhe yokucabanga. Uma ukucabanga kwakhe kungenalo ubandlululo, ngokuvamile imibono yakhe iyoba elungile, futhi, nakuba eqala ngezindawo ezingalungile, uyobonisa ukuthi inephutha phakathi nemibono yakhe. Nokho, uma evumela ubandlululo ukuba luphazamise ukucabanga kwakhe, noma lusekela isisekelo sakhe phezu kobandlululo, umbono awubekayo ngokuvamile uyobe ungalungile.
Imibono umuntu ayenzileyo imele iqiniso. Kungenzeka ukuthi unephutha, nokho uyakholelwa kubo ukuthi balungile. Uma kungekho lwazi, indoda izokuma noma iwele ngemibono yayo. Lapho imibono yakhe iphathelene nenkolo noma okuthile okuhle, ukholelwa ukuthi kufanele abasekele futhi azizwe enesifiso sokuvumela abanye ukuba bamukele imibono yakhe. Lapho-ke kuqhamuka ukuguqula kwakhe.
Okusikhuthaza ukuba siguqule imibono yethu ukholo noma ulwazi lapho imibono yethu isekelwe khona. Singase futhi sikhuthazwe isifiso sokuthi abanye bazuze kulokho esikubheka njengokuhle. Uma kunezelwa ukucabangela komuntu siqu olwazini lwakhe oluyisisekelo nesifiso sakhe sokwenza okuhle, imizamo yokuguqula abanye emibonweni yomuntu siqu ingase ikhulise ukushiseka ngokweqile, futhi, esikhundleni sokuhle, kuyokwenzeka umonakalo. Isizathu nokuthakasela kufanele kube iziqondiso zethu ekuguquleleni abantu ngemibono yethu. Isizathu nokuthakasela kusivumela ukuthi sethule imibono yethu ngokuphikisana, kodwa kusenqabele ukuzama ukuphoqa abanye ukuba bayamukele. Isizathu nokuthakasela kuyasenqabela ukuba sigcizelele ukuthi abanye kufanele bamukele futhi baguqulelwe emibonweni yethu, futhi kusenza sibe namandla futhi sithembeke ekusekeleni lokho esicabanga ukuthi siyakwazi.
