Kutheni Isizukulwane Sam Sikruqulwe Ngubomi?

Ngokufuthi usuku ludlula ngaphandle kolunye uluhlu lweziphumo ezibonisa into eyoyikisayo okanye edandathekisayo malunga 'newaka leminyaka' Sisisizukulwana esihlalutywayo ngexesha lokwenyani, kwaye indlela esiziphatha ngayo kunye nezigqibo zethu zihlala ziqulunqwa zenziwa infographics zisichaza njengelona linemifuno, lingenamandla, iqela lesini esichazayo kwimbali ebhaliweyo. Kwiveki ephelileyo, nangona kunjalo, iziphumo zovavanyo bezikhona ipapashiwe ngesiphelo esothusayo ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndihlale phezulu kwaye ndithathe ingqalelo, okomzuzu okanye ubuncinci. Ngokucacileyo, isibini kwisithathu seminyaka eliwaka 'sikruqukile bubomi.' Amashumi amabini anesixhenxe eepesenti adikiwe ngumabonwakude, omnye kwabathandathu ukruqukile yimithombo yeendaba zentlalo, kwaye iipesenti ezingama-25 zethu ziyadikwa zizama ukulala. Silahlekelwe ngumdla kuyo yonke into. Ukhathele yimvakalelo. Ukudikwa kukuba.

Kukho into malunga nelo binzana, nangona, 'udikwe bubomi,' iyothusa. Sisifo esichazayo. I & apos; s ngokungathi & apos; amagama ashiyekileyo. Njengesigqibo esigqibeleleyo esifikelelwe emva kwemizamo emininzi yangaphambili yokuchaza ukuba nesifo esihambisayo asiphumelelanga ukufumana eyona ngxaki. Yinto enye enesithukuthezi kwimathematika okanye ekukruqukeni kuyo Amantombazana , kodwa ukukruquka bubukho ngokuqinisekileyo kukwala yonke into kwindalo eyaziwayo. Yitsho into oyithandayo ngobomi, ngokuqinisekileyo kukho izinto ezaneleyo zokugcina uhlala phakathi kokuzalwa kwakho kunye nokufa kwakho.

Xa ndivavanya amava am endihleliyo, ukuba kunjani kum yonke imihla, ithuku lam kukuthi hayi, andikruquki yiyo. Ngokucacileyo zininzi izinto eziqhubekayo. Ngosuku oluqhelekileyo, ndithetha nabantu abanomdla, funda malunga nokubandezeleka kwehlabathi kunye noDrake noTheresa May, kwaye ubukele iividiyo ezihamba phambili zeebhere ezileqa abakhweli beebhayisikile. Ndihlala ndisela iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zeziselo ezishushu, ngamanye amaxesha nditshaya icuba kwaye ndizisole, nditye ii-cashews, kwaye ndicofe amaxesha ambalwa. Ngokuhlwa, ndiyehla iibhiya okanye ndibukele iziqendu ezindala ze Ingxelo yesiqhelo okanye ume ujikeleze kwimijuxuzo yasebusuku usenza ngathi andidinwe. Kwaye loo mxholo nje. Ngaphakathi kwentloko yam, ikwakhona irollercoaster. Ndiziva ndonwabile xa ndibona intombi yam, ndidanile xa ndibona isifuba sam, ndinomsindo xa ndifunda amacandelo okuphawula, ndigxininisekile xa ndibeka amaqanda, ndihleka nabahlobo bam, ndilile kube kanye kwiminyaka emibini okanye emithathu. Kuyadina ngamanye amaxesha, kodwa ayidiki.

Njengabo bonke abantu abatsha, ndinengxaki yokuzibophelela emsebenzini. Ndinokuphazamisa ukungakwazi ukugqiba incwadi, umzekelo. I-rucksack yam ngoku ine-Penguin classics kunye ne-nonfiction emfutshane kwi-Afrofuturism endiyifumene ngeKrisimesi. Ndizonwabele zonke, kodwa nakuphi na ukolula kokufunda okungaphaya kwamaphepha amathathu, ndiqala ukuziva imisonto engabonakaliyo phantsi kweziseko zamehlo itsala intloko yam kude nesicatshulwa ukuya kwenye into. Umtyholwa ocacileyo wokusola apha zezi: ii-smartphones. Kwaye akukho mpu melelo inkulu kwinkcazo yezentlalo ukubhengeza ukuba ukufika konxibelelwano oluqhubekayo, oluhamba-hambayo kwezentlalo kubangele ingqwalaselo emfutshane, kodwa loo nto ayisiyiyo le nto siyithethayo apha. Ukukruquka akuthethi & apos; oko akuthethi ukungakwazi ukugxila. Ukudikwa kukungabikho komdla, okanye ukungabikho kwezinto onomdla kuzo. Ukukruquka kukungaboni nto kungenanto.

Kwaye loo mbuzo ngowokuba: Isizukulwane esinokwenza ngaphezulu kunantoni na ngaphambi kokuba sibange ukuba siyadikwa bubomi? Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba sidale uhlobo olutsha lwesithukuthezi? Ukudikwa okuzelwe kukutya okukhethiweyo kunokungabikho. Xa ndicinga ngendlela endiziva ngayo yonke imihla, kuhlala kukho uvakalelo lokugungqa endifuna ukwenza enye into. Ndifuna ukuyokwenza ikofu. Ndifuna ukujonga kwakhona i-Twitter. Ndifuna ukutshintsha umculo endimamelayo. Ububanzi obukhulu belayibrari yeNetflix buba luluhlu lwezinto eziza kwenziwa kumabonwakude. Amanqaku am agcinelwe ixesha elizayo afana nokufundwa kwekhosi & & apos; Oku kudikwa kubonakalisa ukungazoli- ngaphandle kokuba 'ndidikwe bubomi,' ngokuhlala ulinde ukuba kwenzeke ebomini. Oku kungonwabi, ukungakhathali kuyandibetha njengenkqubo yokuphila, yeentlobo. Ekuphela kwendlela yendalo esinokuhlangabezana nayo nomthamo opheleleyo womxholo obanga ukuba siwuqwalasele kukusoloko ujikelezisa ixesha esilinikezela kuthi — ingxolo emhlophe thina & apos; siphuhlisile ukuyikhupha ivolumu yayo yonke into ngaxeshanye.

Unoko engqondweni, ungatsho ukuba isithukuthezi, esona sikolo sikudala, sikhangela iwindow ebethwe yimvula kukungakhathali egadini, kunokuba sisipho. Kwi inqaku ukwenzela i Umgcini Kunyaka ophelileyo, uGayatri Devi, unjingalwazi onxulumene nesiNgesi kwiYunivesithi yaseLok Haven, wachaza isithukuthezi 'njengelungelo lokugqibela lengqondo ekhululekileyo.' Ngokwamazwi akhe, isithukuthezi 'ngamava abukhali exesha elingafunyanwanga bubuhle, uyolo, intuthuzelo, kunye nazo zonke ezinye izinto ezinokuthanjiswa. Ngokusisiseko, isithukuthezi sokwenyani, indawo engenanto yokwenene, lixesha elininzi esilichitha kunye neengcinga zethu, kunye neengcinga zethu zodwa. Elona xesha kuphela apho iingcinga zethu zivunyelwe ukuba zijikeleze, kwaye sikhule siye kwezinye iingcinga ezinkulu nezingcono ngaphandle kokukhutshelwa ebhodini sisandla esicaba sezesondo, okanye iziyobisi, okanye iiligi zebhola ekhatywayo. Ukukruquka bubomi, ewe, yinto yosana neyoxinzelelo edinayo ukuyithetha okanye ukuziva, kodwa ukuba uyadika ebomini, amaxesha ngamaxesha. Isenokungabi mbi kangako emva kwayo yonke loo nto.
