Pamene ndinali kukula, ndinkadya mabuku a kadzutsa, chamasana, ndi chakudya chamadzulo, ndipo popeza kuti nthaŵi zonse ndinali kulephera kuŵerenga, ndinaŵerenga za wina aliyense — zimene kwa msungwana wokhala ndi azichimwene ake aakulu zinatanthauza zopeka za sayansi. Mabukuwo amayenera kukhala onena za mtsogolo, koma nthawi zonse amakhala okhudza nthawi yomweyo.

Ena a iwo - Robert Heinlein Wachilendo ku Dziko Lachilendo - zinali zoseketsa za nthawi yawo: Masomphenya a bukuli la moyo wabwino amawoneka kuti ali ndi vuto lalikulu ku Playboy Mansion pa nthawi yake, kokha chifukwa cha kuwerenga komanso kuwonjezeredwa. Frank Herbert's Dune inalinso ndi zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi za chikhalidwe cha anthu, koma masomphenya ake a dziko lapakati pa chipululu cha chipululu jihadis ndipo masewera abwino azinthu zomwe zidapangitsa kuti mayendedwe akutali akhale ofunikira kwambiri tsopano. Ganizirani: magulu ogulitsa mankhwala amakumana ndi mafakitale amafuta m'chipululu chakuya.

Panopa tikukhala m’dziko lovuta kwambiri kuposa nthano zambiri za sayansi kuyambira ndili mwana. Foni yanga imathamanga kuwirikiza ka 58 kuposa kompyuta yothamanga kwambiri ya IBM mu 1964 (amawerengera mchimwene wanga wamkulu Steve) komanso yamphamvu kwambiri kuposa makompyuta a mumlengalenga wa Apollo omwe tidafika pamwezi mu 1969 (amawonjezera mphwanga Jason). Ngakhale sitinakhalepo ndi ma jetpacks omwe analonjezedwa ndipo a Martians anali osokonezeka, tikukhala mu nthawi yomwe akatswiri opanga majini amagwiritsa ntchito majini a jellyfish kuti zinyama ziziwoneka mumdima ndi ma nerds kum'mwera kwa Nevada kupha anthu ku Pakistan ndi Afghanistan. ma drones osayendetsedwa. Aliyense amene adayenda nthawi kuchokera m'zaka za m'ma sikisite angadabwe ndi zaka zathu, chifukwa cha zodabwitsa zake ndi zoopsa zake komanso kusintha kwakukulu kwa chikhalidwe. Koma nthano zopeka za sayansi ndi zamasiku ano kuposa zam'tsogolo, ndipo tili ndi nthano zopeka za sayansi zatsopano zomwe zili zoyenera pakadali pano.

Kupereka Nsembe Achinyamata M'mabwalo a Capital

The njala Games, buku la Suzanne Collins lomwe likugulitsidwa kwambiri ndi anthu akuluakulu komanso filimu yochititsa chidwi kwambiri, ndi za nthawi yomweyi m'njira zambiri. Kwa inu omwe mumabisala mkati mwa nkhalango, zakhazikika m'tsogolo la dystopian North America, kontinenti yogawidwa m'zigawo zoponderezedwa, zowopsa zolamulidwa ndi oligarchy wodekha, wapamwamba ku Capitol. Ayenera kulanga madera chifukwa cha kuwukira zaka 74 zapitazo, koma kwenikweni kuti apereke magazi amtundu wachiroma ndi mabwalo kuti awopsyeze ndi kusokoneza, Capitol imafuna kuti chigawo chilichonse chipereke zikondwerero ziwiri zaunyamata, zomwe zimakokedwa ndi lottery chaka chilichonse, kuti apikisane mu Njala yankhondo. Masewera amawulutsidwa m'dziko lonselo.  

Kuti achinyamata 24 awa amamenyana wina ndi mnzake mpaka kufa ndi wopambana m'modzi yemwe amaloledwa kukhala ndi moyo kumapangitsa kukhala ngati - koma osati chimodzimodzi - kusekondale, msasa wozunzirako anthu chifukwa cha mkwiyo ndi mpikisano womwe timakakamiza achinyamata athu. Kupatula apo, ngakhale zochitika zenizeni ngati izi zitha kupha: mboni wachinyamata wa gay ku Iowa yemwe adadzipha masabata angapo apitawo atachotsedwa ndikunyozedwa ndi anzawo, osanenanso za mliri wakudzipha kwa achinyamata ena omwe a Dan Savage “Zikhala Bwino” webusaiti, mafilimu, ndi mabuku akufuna kuchepetsa.

Koma kwenikweni, panthaŵi ino, nkhanza za achichepere kwa achichepere siziri zoipitsitsa koposa m’dzikolo. The njala Games amatikumbutsa zimenezo. Capitol yake, ndithudi, ndi dziko la 1%, mtundu wophatikizana wa Fashion Week, Versailles, ndi KGB / CIA. Utatu wapanthawi yake wa Collins umamveketsa bwino kuti 1%, atapanga dongosolo lankhanza lozama kwambiri, akuyenera kupita, china chake chomwe chikuwonetsedwa ndi kunyoza koopsa kwa ngwazi Katniss Everdeen - Annie Oakley, Tank Girl, ndi Robin Hood onse adagubuduzika kukhala amodzi - amene amakana kutayidwa.

Tsopano, m’dziko lathu, zosangulutsa za kumenyana ndi kutayidwa kwa achichepere kwakukulukulu ziri zinthu zosiyana (kupatulapo mpira, nkhonya, hockey, ndi maseŵera ena okhudzana ndi maseŵera amene nthaŵi zonse amawononga ubongo, ndipo nthaŵi zina ngakhale imfa). Koma ngakhale kuti Capitol ikuwonetsedwa ngati yankhanza popereka nsembe achinyamata 23 ochokera m'maboma pachaka, nanga bwanji Capitol yathu ku District of Columbia? Ili ndi nkhondo kapena ziwiri, ngati simunazindikire.

Ku Iraq, 4,486 makamaka achinyamata aku America adamwalira. Ngati mukufuna kuwerengera ma Iraqi (zomwe muyenera kuchita), kufa kwa makanda, ana, agogo aakazi, anyamata, ndi ena kupitilira 106,000 potengera kusamalitsa, mazana masauzande ndi ena. Ngakhale ziwerengero zotsika kwambiri zimayimira kupha kokwanira kudzaza pafupifupi zaka 5,000 za Masewera a Njala.  

Kenako, pali anthu enanso zikwizikwi aku America omwe adavulazidwa kwambiri mwina adamwalira pamikangano yam'mbuyomu, koma tsopano akupulumuka ndikuwonongeka kwakukulu muubongo, miyendo ingapo yosowa, kapena kudulidwa kwina kwakukulu. Ndipo musaiwale zowawa ndi matenda amisala omwe nthawi zambiri amakhala osazindikirika komanso osathandizidwa kapena amawononga kwambiri. Mtundu waku Iraq za zomwezo. Osadandaula za Afghanistan, yokhala ndi ziwerengero zake zoyipa komanso zotsatira zake zoyipa.

Kuphana kwathu panthaŵi yankhondo kwakhala kokulirakulira, koma sikunakhaleko pawailesi yakanema m’njira iriyonse yatanthauzo; nthawi zambiri zabisika ndi atolankhani aku America komanso boma, zomwe wopimidwa zithunzi za mabokosi obwerera, mitembo, ovulala wamba, ndi china chilichonse chosasangalatsa (ngakhale m'nthawi yathu yopeka ya sayansi pomwe foni iliyonse imatha kukhala kamera ya kanema, kutaya akadali wamkulu). Ambiri aife tinachita ntchito yabwino yosokonezedwa ndi zinthu zina - kuphatikizapo zenizeni TV, ndithudi. Kazembe waku US komanso wamkulu wankhondo ku Afghanistan adakwiya osati kuti asitikali athu anakantha jokey pose ndi odulidwa miyendo, koma kuti Los Angeles Times adayesetsa kuwafalitsa mwezi watha. Ndi azungu awo amene anayesetsa kuwulula achichepere kuseri kwa mpando wachifumu akukumana ndi chilango chokhwima. Umboni wina wa Njala-Masewero ngwazi, Bradley Manning, msilikali wamng'onoyo adasanduka munthu yemwe ankamuganizira kuti ndi wobwereketsa, yemwe wakhala akukhala mwankhanza kwa nthawi yayitali ndipo tsopano akuyang'aniridwa kuti akhale m'ndende moyo wonse.

Kubwerera kwa Ngongole Peonage

In The njala Games, ana a m'mabanja osauka amatenga mwayi wowonjezera mu lottery ya Chigawo chawo - ndiko kuti, mwayi wowonjezera wa imfa - pobwezera chakudya chowonjezera; kwathu, ana osauka amalembetsa usilikali kuti adyetse mabanja awo ndipo mwina kuthawa mavuto azachuma. Ambiri ali adanyengedwa ndi olemba usilikali omwe amawatsata kusukulu ya sekondale ndi malonjezo oterera monga omwe malonda a akapolo amagwiritsira ntchito kulembera atsikana osauka kuti akagwire ntchito zogonana kunja.

Ndipo palinso mtundu wina wa ngongole zomwe zafala kwambiri m'dziko lathu lachilendo komanso losinthasintha: ngongole za ophunzira. Achichepere amauzidwa nthaŵi zonse kuti maphunziro aku koleji okha ndi amene angawapatse tsogolo labwino. Kenako amauzidwa kuti, kuti alipire, ayenera kulowa m'ngongole - nthawi zambiri m'magulu asanu, nthawi zina mpaka asanu ndi limodzi. Ndipo ngongolezi, nazonso, zimayendetsedwa ndi malamulo apadera omwe samakulolani kulengeza bankirapuse - zivute zitani. Mwa kuyankhula kwina, akutsimikiziridwa kuti adzakutsatirani moyo wanu wonse.

Mmodzi wa mabwenzi anga apamtima analira pamene mwamuna wake anayamba kupeza ndalama zokwanira kuti alipire ngongole yake ya $45,000, yokonzedwa kotero kuti inkawoneka ngati adzapitiriza kulipira chiwongoladzanja kwa moyo wake wonse; osati zosiyana kwambiri, ndiye kuti, kuchokera ku ngongole zomwe amagawana ndi ogwira ntchito m'matauni amakampani omwe amakhala nawo.

M’mawu ena, tikupanga m’badwo watsopano wa anthu amene ali ndi ngongole. Ndipo iye si woyipa kwambiri mpaka pano. Kumayambiriro kwa mphindi ya Occupy Wall Street, adandiuza, munthu wina adafika ku Zuccotti Park m'tawuni ya Manhattan ali ndi zolembera ndi makatoni omwe otenga nawo mbali amayenera kulemba ngongole zawo. Chimene chinamudabwitsa n’chakuti ambiri mwa anthu okhala m’malo awo azaka za m’ma 20 anali atanyamula kale ngongole zambiri.

Malinga ndi tsamba lawebusayiti la Khalani ndi Ngongole ya Ophunzira, Achimereka 36,000,000 ali ndi ngongole za ophunzira. Izi zawonjezeka kuwirikiza kasanu kuyambira 1999, zomwe zikubweretsa ngongole yomwe ikuyandikira madola thililiyoni, pomwe ophunzira amabwereka $96 biliyoni yochulukirapo chaka chilichonse kuti alipirire maphunziro awo. Awiri mwa atatu aliwonse a ophunzira aku koleji akupezeka mumsampha uwu masiku ano. Monga wothirira ndemanga Malcolm Harris adayika N + 1magazini:

“Kuyambira 1978, mtengo wamaphunziro ku makoleji aku US wakwera kuposa 900%, 650 points pamwamba pa inflation. Kuyika chiwerengero chimenecho moyenera, mitengo ya nyumba, kuwira komwe kunawononga chuma cha US, kenako chapadziko lonse, chinangowonjezera mfundo makumi asanu pamwamba pa Consumer Price Index m'zaka zimenezo. Koma…malipiro a ogwira ntchito ku koleji kunja kwa makampani azachuma atsika kapena achepa. Ulova wakhudza kwambiri omaliza maphunziro aposachedwa kwambiri, pafupifupi kuwirikiza kawiri mchaka cha 2007. Zotsatira zake n’zakuti mbadwo umene uli ndi ngongole zambiri m’mbiri yonse uli wopanda ntchito zodalirika zimene ukufunikira kuti uthawe ngongole.”

Pafupifupi gawo limodzi mwa magawo atatu aliwonse alephera kale. Mutha kuyembekeza kuti kuwiraku kuphulika pankhondo yolimbana ndi ngongole za ophunzira, ndipo ngati tili ndi mwayi, kusuntha kokakamiza kuti maphunziro achepetse ndikukhala ndi chisangalalo changongole.

Enafe, 99%, tiyenera kukumbukira kuti, zikafika pamaphunziro a anthu, vutoli limakhala ndi chilichonse chokhudza misonkho yotsika - mpaka olemerandi makampani makamaka - pazaka 30 zapitazi. Tinalowa mu ukapolo kuti iwo akakhale mfulu. Kupeza maphunziro kuti mutuluke muumphawi ndipo mwina kukulitsa malingaliro anu kukukhala njira ina yotsekeredwa muumphawi kosatha. Kwa ochuluka kwambiri, palibe njira yopulumukira kunjala labyrinth.

Ma Labyrinths a Umphawi

Zomwe zimatifikitsa kwa omwe ali ndi njala kwambiri mu mtundu wathu weniweni wa 2012 wa Masewera a Njala: osauka. Dziko lolemera kwambiri komanso lamphamvu kwambiri padziko lonse ndi lodzaza ndi anthu anjala. Mukudziwa, ndipo mukudziwa chifukwa chake. M'dziko lalikululi, lochuluka, lopanga chakudya, losakaza chakudya, ndivuto lakugawa, lomwe limadziwikanso kuti. kusalingana kwachuma, yofotokozedwa momveka bwino komanso mwamphamvu ndi a Occupy movement.

Chimodzi mwa zowonera zachisoni komanso zosuntha zamisasa ngati Pitani ku Oakland chaka chatha chinali momwe iwo adakhalira de A facto khitchini ya supu ngati opanda pokhala ndipo anjala adatuluka mumthunzi kuti apeze chakudya choyenera. Ena mwa makampuwo anali ndi ophika odzipereka omwe ankaphika kwambiri. Analinso ndi zipatala zachipatala zomwe anthu osauka amalandila chithandizo chomwe sakanachipeza kwina kulikonse.

Tili m'nthawi yatsopano yosimidwa, pomwe anthu ambiri omwe amapeza zaka makumi angapo zapitazi kulibenso. Palibe ntchito, kapena ntchito zomwe zilipo zimalipidwa movutitsa kwambiri kotero kuti ogwira ntchito sangapindule nazo.  

Zoonadi, tili ndi bwalo limodzi limene kuli chakudya chodalirika, ndipo chiŵerengero cha anthu kumeneko chikuchulukirachulukira. Anthu mamiliyoni asanu ndi limodzi aku America amakhala komweko, ndipo nthawi zambiri kumakhala masewera omenyana mkati. Imatchedwa ndende, ndipo tili ndi kuchuluka kwambiri wa akaidi pa chiwerengero cha anthu padziko lonse lapansi, ochuluka kuposa omwe ali mbiri ya USSR pansi pa Stalin. Theka la iwo alipo kulakwa kwa mankhwala, 80% ya izo zokhala nazo wamba.

Zomwe, monga ndikutsimikiza kuti mwazindikira, sizinayimitse kuyenda kwa mankhwala omwe amatanthauza kuti athetse ululu womwe tachita bwino kupanga pano. Tiyenera kupanga muyeso wa Gross National Suffering (GNS) tisanaganizire za Gross National Happiness yomwe amayesa ku Bhutan.

Ndipo akaidi athu akatuluka, amakhala a kusalidwa, osayenera mwapadera kuti apulumuke m'chuma ichi - kunena za njala, ngongole, umphawi, kutchulidwa kuti ndi moyo, ndi kutaya chiyembekezo. Monga mayunivesite, ndende ndi mafakitale opindulitsa, ngakhale osati kwa anthu omwe ali zinthu zomwe amakonza. M'nthawi ino, machitidwe onsewa akuwoneka ngati mafakitale ambiri.

Mu Mthunzi wa 900 Tornados

Koma ngati mukufuna kulingalira za njira zonse zomwe tikuwonongera achinyamata, pali imodzi yomwe imayika ena mumthunzi, mawonekedwe a chiwonongeko omwe amaphatikizapo osati achinyamata a ku America okha, kapena achinyamata aumunthu, koma mitundu yonse ya mitundu kulikonse, kuchokera ku miyala ya coral. ku carbo. Ndiko kusintha kwa nyengo, ndithudi.

Kulephera kwathu kuchita chilichonse chokwanira pankhaniyi kwatifikitsa kudziko lopeka la sayansi Bill McKibben momveka bwino. anatichenjeza ife za m'buku lake la 2010 Dziko lapansi. Mtsutso wake ndi woti tasintha kwambiri dziko lomwe tikukhalamo kotero kuti mwina tidafika kudziko lina (lowonjezera "a" m'dzina lake), lachipwirikiti komanso ochereza kwambiri kuposa Holocene wokongola yemwe tidataya. .

Panali 160 tornados lipoti pa Marichi 2 chaka chino. Kumbukirani kuti mu Epulo 2011. 900 tornados zinali kung'amba mkati mwa United States, ndipo mwezi wa April unalinso wosakhazikika. Kumbukirani moto wolusa womwe sunachitikepo, kusefukira kwa masoka, mafunde a kutentha, kutentha modabwitsa kwa North America January ndi zinthu zina zodabwitsa? Ndizo zopeka za sayansi za mtundu wowopsa kwambiri, ndipo ife tiri mmenemo. Kapena pamenepo, pa pulaneti latsopano lopenga lomwe tadzipanga tokha. Kuno ku gawo la USA la Earth mu chaka cha 2012, 15,000 zolemba za kutentha kwakukulu zinathyoledwa mu March wokha, ndipo chilimwe sichidzafika. Tawuni yomwe ili kumpoto chapakati pa Texas idagunda madigiri 111 - mu Epulo! Kodi ili ndi pulaneti lanji la chipwirikiti?

Njere imodzi ya uthenga wabwino: ambiri aife, ngakhale mdziko muno, tikuwoneka kuti tikudziwa zachilendo za dziko lomwe tikukhalamo. Monga New York Times inanena, kufufuza kwatsopano “kumasonyeza kuti anthu ambiri a ku America amakhulupirira kuti nyengo yachisanu ya chaka chino yotentha modabwitsa, chilimwe chatha chaka chatha, ndi masoka ena anyengo mwina anawonjezereka chifukwa cha kutentha kwa dziko. Ndipo mwa malire a 2 mpaka 1, anthu amati nyengo yakhala ikuipiraipira, m’malo mokhala bwino, m’zaka zaposachedwapa.”

Ngati mukufuna kulankhula za njala, lankhulani za kusefukira kwa madzi komwe sikunachitikepo zomwe zasandutsa Pakistan kuchoka m'modzi mwa madengu odyetsera padziko lapansi kukhala dziko lotumiza chakudya kunja, zomwe zili ndi zotulukapo zowopsa kwa osauka aulimi. Fotokozerani zambiri zaku Chinamasoka achilengedwe omwe akubwera, nthaka yake yowonongeka, mpweya ndi madzi oipitsidwa, machitidwe ake ambiri okonzeka kugwa. Pali zosokoneza zambiri za kupanga zakudya zomwe zikubwera, zochulukirapo, komanso njala yambiri.

Pa nthawiyi m'mabuku opeka a sayansi komanso mabuku a mbiri yakale, kusinthaku kumawoneka kofunikira. Nkhani yabwino yomwe ndili nayo kwa inu tsiku la May Day ndikuti ikuchitika.  

Revolution 2012

Chaka cha 2011 chinali chaka chachilendo, koma chinalinso chaka cha zipolowe padziko lonse, ndipo sizinathe. Iwo zinaphulika mu Russia, Israel, Spain, Greece, Britain, mbali yaikulu ya maiko olankhula Chiarabu, mbali za Afirika, ndi Chile, pakati pa malo ena mu Latin America (ena a iwo amene anayamba kuukira kwawo koyambirira kwa zaka chikwi). Zipolowe zakula ngakhale m'mayiko ena anjala akuona kuti Capitol, United States, ndi mayiko ambiri olankhula Chingelezi, kuyambira ku London mpaka ku New Zealand.

Kumbukirani kuti kusinthaku sikukuwoneka ngati kusinthika kale. Izi zitha kukhala gawo lobwezeretsanso kwambiri lachiwawa kwambiri njala Games trilogy, njira yomwe malingaliro a wolemba amayendera mizere wamba kapena yachikale. Kumeneko, chiwawa ndichowonadi wotsutsana ndi mphamvu, pamodzi ndi chinyengo, kaya m'njira zomwe achinyamata amapulumuka m'bwalo lamasewera kapena Capitol, kapena momwe mbali zonse ziwiri zimagwirira ntchito m'mikangano pakati pa Maboma ndi Capitol. M'dziko lathu lomwe, boma limachita bwino kwambiri pazachiwawa, kaya pankhondo zake zakunja kapena kupopera tsabola komanso kukwapula owonetsa achinyamata. Mudzazindikira, komabe, kuti ma Iraqi, kapena Afghanis, kapena Occupiers sanagonjetsedwe ndi izi.  

Chiwawa si mphamvu, monga Jonathan Schell zimamveketsa bwino kwambiri Dziko Losagonjetseka, ndi zomwe boma limagwiritsa ntchito pamene sitili pansi pa ulamuliro. Kuphatikiza apo, tikamanena za "kusachita chiwawa" ngati njira ina yachiwawa, sitingachitire mwina koma kupeputsa mphamvu zathu. Mawu amenewo, mwatsoka, akuwoneka ngati akufotokoza kusakhalapo, kudziletsa mwaulemu kuchitapo kanthu, pamene zomwe zili pangozi - monga ziwonetsero padziko lonse lapansi zatsimikizira chaka chatha - ndi mphamvu zomwe ziyenera kuwerengedwa; choncho tchulani "mphamvu za anthu" m'malo mwake.

Tikabwera pamodzi monga mabungwe a anthu kuti agwiritse ntchito mphamvuzi, maulamuliro amanjenjemera ndipo mbiri yakale imapangidwa. Osati nthawi yomweyo ndipo osati ndendende malinga ndi dongosolo, koma ndani adayembekezera zimenezo?

Komabe, maulamuliro ambiri agwetsedwa ndi ulamuliro umenewu, ndipo mphamvu zochitira zimenezi ndi zathu panopa. Monga Erica Chenoweth ndi Maria Stephan akufotokozera zaposachedwa Chifukwa Chake Kusamvana Kwachigawo Kumagwira Ntchito: Strategic Logic ya Nonviolent Conflict, kuyambira 1900 makampeni amphamvu a anthu akhala akuyenda bwino pakukwaniritsa kusintha kwaulamuliro kuwirikiza kawiri kuposa kampeni zachiwawa.

Ndi Tsiku la Meyi, kumenyedwa kwapadziko lonse lapansi kwayitanidwa, ndipo sabata yatha ka Occupy Norman (Oklahoma) adalengeza kuti "wapambana pankhondo yayikulu": mzinda wawo ukuchotsa ndalama zake zonse ku Bank of America kupita kubanki yakomweko. Kugwa komaliza Sunthani Kampeni Yanu Yandalama kuphatikizapo ndalama za mzinda kuyambira pachiyambi ndipo kupambana mwakachetechete ngati uku kungayambe kukonzanso chikhalidwe chathu chachuma. Zochita zachiwonetsero m'misewu ndizowopsa kotero kuti mwezi wamawa wa G8 Summit womwe udzachitike ku Chicago uchitikira ku Camp David m'malo mwake.

Pakadali pano sabata yatha, misonkhano yonse ya Wells Fargo ndi General Electric anali atazingidwa ndi omenyera ufulu wa Occupy. Msonkhano wa Wells Fargo ndi zionetsero zidachitika ku San Francisco, ndipo pambuyo pake mnzanga wina yemwe adamangidwa adalemba izi pa Facebook: "Ndinayiwala kunena kuti Max adandipatsa moni wa Masewera a Njala kundende lero. Zinali zodabwitsa. ”

Mwanjira imeneyi nthano zopeka ndi zenizeni zimasintha m'masautso ndi chipambano monga, lero, osamalira malo ku California. pita kukanyanyala, ndipo ngakhale ogwira ntchito ku Golden Gate Bridge adzakhala akutsutsa. Zochita za May Day zakonzedwa padziko lonse lapansi.

Zachidziwikire, ichi ndi chiyambi chabe, ndipo makampani amabanki ndi mafuta, 1%, ndi ndende ndi ma rackets amaphunziro ndi opitilira kubweza. Chifukwa chake tikufuna chida chinanso mu zida zathu zankhondo, ndicho chithunzi cha zomwe tikufuna, momwe dziko labwino limawonekera.
