Sisanda kubona ukuphela kuka-2022, unyaka owaletha ubunzima kwabaningi ngenxa yesifo esiwubhadane, ukuwohloka komnotho kanye nengxabano eyinhlekelele enemiphumela efinyelela kude.Ngaso sonke isikhathi uma sicabanga ukuthi sesijikile, impilo yasijikijela ngesinye isijiko.Ukuze uthole isifinyezo sango-2022, ngingacabanga kuphela ngesiphetho esinamandla esivela ku-William Faulkner ethi The Sound and the Fury: Babekezele.
Unyaka wenyanga ozayo uNyaka Wonogwaja.Angazi ukuthi yimuphi unogwaja kulo nyaka ozayo ozokhipha isigqoko, kodwa ake ngithi nje “unogwaja, unogwaja”, inkulumo eshiwo abantu ekuqaleni kwenyanga yokuthi ube nenhlanhla.
Ekuqaleni konyaka omusha, kuyisiko ukuthi senze izifiso ezinhle.Angazi noma ukufisela umuntu inhlanhla noma inhlanhla kungasiza, kodwa ngibonile ukuthi ukuthumela imikhuleko nemicabango kungenza izimangaliso.Phakathi kwezinye izinto, kudala amavayibhu amahle okunakekela nokunaka ukuze kukhuphule imimoya yalabo ngezinsuku zabo ezinzima kakhulu.
Ngaphambi kokuthi kuqale unyaka, iningi lezihlobo zami eChina, okuhlanganisa nomama wami oneminyaka engama-93 ubudala, bathola i-COVID.Umndeni wami nabangane bakhuleka, bathumela ukusekelwa futhi baphakamisana emoyeni.Umama wakunqoba ukugula, kanjalo nezinye izihlobo.Ngiyazisa ukuba nomkhaya omkhulu ozosekelana, okwenze kwaba nokwenzeka ukuzabalaza ndawonye nethemba, esikhundleni sokucwila omunye nomunye ekuphelelweni yithemba.
Ngikhuluma ngokuba nomndeni omkhulu, ngikhumbula ukuthi ngokwesiko laseNtshonalanga onogwaja bahlotshaniswa nokuzala nokuvuselela impilo.Ziphindaphindeka ngokushesha, okungase futhi zifanekisele impilo entsha nenala.Sigubha Unyaka Wonogwaja njalo eminyakeni eyi-12, kodwa unyaka ngamunye, ngoSuku Lwephasika, umuntu ubona onogwaja be-Easter, okubonisa ukuzalwa okusha nempilo entsha.
Amazinga okuzalwa ayehla emazweni amaningi emhlabeni jikelele, kuhlanganise neChina.Sengathi unyaka omusha ungaletha ithemba, ukuze abantu bafune ukuba nabantwana abazolibamba futhi bamukele lelo themba.
Ngonyaka odlule, imindeni eminingi ibidonsa kanzima ngokwezimali;kufanele ukuthi silwele ukusimama nokukhulisa umnotho.Onogwaja bahlotshaniswa nenhlanhla nenhlanhla.Ngokuqinisekile singasebenzisa okunye kwalokho ngemva konyaka wokusebenza kabi kwesitoko kanye nokukhuphuka kwamanani omthengi.
Ngokuthakazelisayo, amaShayina aphendukela ekuhlakanipheni onogwaja lapho kuziwa ekutshaleni imali, njengoba kuboniswa isaga esithi: “Unogwaja okhaliphile unemigede emithathu.”Lesi saga singasho — ngokwesinye isaga — ukuthi ungabeki amaqanda akho kubhasikidi owodwa, noma: “Umvundla onomgodi owodwa uthathwa masinyane” ( Isaga sesiNgisi).Njengenothi eseceleni, umhume onogwaja ubizwa nangokuthi "umgodi".Iqembu lemigodi libizwa ngokuthi “i-warren”, njengaku-“Warren Buffett” (akukho budlelwane).
Onogwaja nabo bayizimpawu zokushesha kanye nokuba bukhali, okubangelwa ukuba nempilo enhle.Ekuqaleni konyaka omusha, senza izinqumo zonyaka omusha ezibandakanya izindawo zokuzivocavoca nokudla.Kunezinhlobo eziningi zokudla, okuhlanganisa ukudla kwe-Paleo, okugwema ushukela, kanye nokudla kwaseMedithera, okuhlanganisa okusanhlamvu okungaphekiwe, izithelo, imifino, ezinye izinhlanzi, imikhiqizo yobisi kanye nemikhiqizo yenyama.Ukudla kwe-ketogenic kuhlanganisa amafutha amaningi, amaprotheni anele kanye nokusetshenziswa kwe-lowcarb.Nakuba ezinye izakhi zihluka, okujwayelekile kwakho konke ukudla okunempilo “ukudla konogwaja”, inkulumo evamile ngemifino enamahlamvu nokunye ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni.
Kuwo wonke amasiko, unogwaja ufanekisela ubumsulwa nobulula;ibuye ihlotshaniswe nobuntwana.I-Adventures ka-Alice in Wonderland ihlanganisa Unogwaja Omhlophe njengomlingiswa omaphakathi oqondisa u-Alice njengoba ehamba e-Wonderland.Unogwaja ungamela futhi umusa nothando: I-Margery William's The Velveteen Rabbit ixoxa indaba kanogwaja wethoyizi oba ngokoqobo ngothando lwengane, indaba enamandla yokuguqulwa ngomusa.Kwangathi singazikhumbula lezi zimfanelo.Okungenani, ungalimazi, noma "ungabi yingozi njengonogwaja ofuywayo", ikakhulukazi kubantu abafana nonogwaja abaziwa ngokukhuthazela kwabo.“Ngisho unogwaja uyaluma uma uvaleleke ekhoneni” (Isaga sesiShayina).
Ukufingqa, ngithemba ukuthi ngingaboleka kwezinye zezihloko eziku-tetralogy kaJohn Updike (Unogwaja, Gijima; Unogwaja Redux; Unogwaja Ucebile Futhi Unogwaja Uyakhunjulwa): NgoNyaka Wogwaja, gijima ukuze uthole impilo enhle, ucebe uma ungacebile futhi ungadlulisi ithuba lomusa okufanele ukhunjulwe eminyakeni yakho yakamuva.
Jabulela unyaka omusha!Ngethemba ukuthi ekupheleni konyaka kaNogwaja, amagama angukhiye azofika emiqondweni yethu angeke esathi: Babekezela.Kunalokho: Bajabulela!
