Ukunikela Konke... Nokukubuyisela Konke FuthiIsampula

Ifa Elihlala Njalo

Imibuzo ihlukile ezigabeni ezihlukahlukene zokuphila. Eminyakeni yethu engamashumi amabili, sivame ukubuza, "Ngizoshada nobani futhi umsebenzi wami uzoba yini?" Eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu, siqala ukubuza, "Ngingawusungula kanjani emsebenzini wami, futhi izingane zami zizohamba kanjani?"

Ngama-40, siqala ukubuza, “Ingabe lo msebenzi engangiwufuna ngempela, futhi kungani ukuphila kunzima kangaka? Eminyakeni yethu engamashumi amahlanu, siqala ukubheka emuva naphambili: “Kwenzeke kanjani kuze kube manje, futhi yini engizoyenza ebalulekile eminyakeni engamashumi amabili nanhlanu ezayo?”

Ngeminyaka yethu engamashumi ayisithupha, sibuza imibuzo elula njengokuthi, “Ingabe impilo yami izoba mnandi, futhi ngizobabona nini abazukulu bami?” Ngeminyaka yethu engamashumi ayisikhombisa, siqala ngempela ukubheka emuva futhi sibuze, "Ingabe konke bekufanelekile, noma kukhona ozokhumbula?"

Eminyakeni engamashumi ayisishiyagalombili, kungenzeka ukuthi izinto zethu zikhanya kancane. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, izinto ezisinika injabulo enkulu yilezo ezingaphatheki:

• Ucingo oluvela kumngane
• Ukuthinta isandla somngane wakho womshado
• Uhambo oluthulile olubuka indalo kaNkulunkulu
• Ukuba khona kwezingane zakho
• Uhleko lwabazukulu bakho

Okuhlekisayo ngemibuzo yempilo ukuthi le esiyibuza ekugcineni iyona okumele siqale ngayo. Kunzima ukwakha impilo enenjongo ngaphandle kokucabangela isiphetho sethu: Sithemba ini, yini esiyiphuphayo ngokuphathelene nempilo yethu, imindeni yethu, izingane zethu?

Ngithemba ukuthi eminye yemibuzo esiyibekela eceleni–mayelana nokufa kwethu, mayelana nomuzwa wethu wencazelo kanye nempumelelo–singaqala ukuyiphendula khona manje. Futhi ukuthi sizothola ukuthi asikhulumi ngeziphetho kodwa mayelana nefa elihlala njalo.

Isicelo: Ibukeka kanjani impumelelo kuwe? Ingabe impumelelo izobukeka ngendlela ehlukile uma ususekupheleni kwempilo yakho?
