Ngabe kuyisono esibulalayo lapho ngingasizi abantu abangenakhaya engibabona emgwaqweni?
Ngabe ukungabi nandaba kwabampofu kunesono?
DIFFICULT MORAL IMIBUZO: Ngabe kuyisono esibulalayo lapho ngingabasizi abantu abangenamakhaya engibabona emgwaqweni?

Q. Ingabe kuyisono esibulalayo lapho ngingabasizi abantu abangenakhaya engibabona emgwaqweni? Ngisebenza edolobheni lapho ngibona khona inqwaba yabantu abangenamakhaya. Muva nje ngibone umuntu ongenakhaya engimbone amahlandla ambalwa futhi ngizwa isifiso sokumthengela ukudla. Ngicabange ukukwenza, kepha ekugcineni angizange futhi nganquma ukuya ekhaya esikhundleni. Kwakuyisono esibulalayo? —Gabriel, eSydney, e-Australia
A. ISonto lamaKhatholika lifundisa ukuthi kudingeka izinto ezintathu ukuze isono sibulawe.
Okokuqala, isenzo esicabangayo kumele sibe sibi ngempela (sibizwe njengento enkulu). Okwesibili, kumele sazi ngokusobala ukuthi akulona iqiniso (elibizwa ngokuthi ulwazi oluphelele). Okwesithathu, kumele sikhululeke uma siyikhetha, okungukuthi, sikhululekile ukuthi singayenzi bese sisaqhubeka sikwenza (okubizwa ngokuthi ukuvuma okugcwele). (Bheka Katekisthi weSonto Lama Katolika 1857).
Edolobheni elifana neSydney (noma elinye idolobha elikhulu e-United States noma eYurophu), abantu abangenakhaya banezinsizakalo ezahlukene zenhlalo ezikhona kubo zokuthola usizo. Abesilisa nabesifazane esibabona emakhoneni emigwaqo yethu abanciki emholweni wethu owodwa wokuziphilisa. Ukube benzile, umthwalo wemfanelo wethu wenhlalakahle uzoba mkhulu kakhulu. Njengoba kunje, ukukhetha ukungondli umuntu ompofu cishe akunakuhlangabezana nezimo zesono esibulalayo.
Ngithi ukukhetha, ngoba kubonakala sengathi kuyilokho okuchazwe ngenhla, hhayi ukubuka nje kuphela. (UGabriel uthi "uthathe isinqumo" sokubuyela ekhaya.)
Manje izinqumo zingashukunyiswa izinto eziningi. Ungasaba ukuphepha kwakho noma ungabi nayo imali ephaketheni lakho noma ufike sekwephuzile ukuqokwa udokotela. Noma lapho ubona abantu abangenakhaya, ungakhumbula inetha lokuphepha lomphakathi wakho bese unquma ukuthi usizo lwakho aludingekile. Kulezi zimo, kumele kungabikho sono.
Kepha kwesinye isikhathi asenzi lutho, hhayi ngokwesaba, kusuka ekuswelekeni kwemali, ekukhohlisweni, njll., Kepha ngokungabi nandaba.
Ngisebenzisa "ukunganaki" lapha ngokuxhumeka okungenamqondo. Ngakho-ke angisho ukuthi, njengoba omunye umuntu angasho, kulabo, lapho babuzwa ukuthi bayathanda umbala we-blouse, "anginandaba", ngomqondo wokuthi abanayo imibono.
Lapha ngisebenzisa ukunganaki ukusho ukuthi "ungabi nentshisekelo" noma "ungakhathazeki" noma "ungakhombisi ukukhathazeka" entweni ebalulekile.
Lolu hlobo lokunganaki, ngicabanga ukuthi, luhlala lungalunganga ngezinga elithile - okungalungile engxenyeni encane uma ngingenandaba nezinto ezincane, ngiphutha kakhulu uma ngingenandaba nezinto ezingathi sína.
Ukuphila kahle kwabampofu kuhlale kuyindaba engathi sína. Lesi yisizathu esenza ukuthi umBhalo oNgcwele ugcizelele ukuthi ukungabi nandaba nabampofu akulona iqiniso kakhulu. Isibonelo, cabanga ngomfanekiso kaLazaru nendoda ecebile (Luka 16: 19-31). Siyazi ukuthi umuntu ocebile ubona umuntu oswele emnyango wakhe, ngoba uyalazi igama lakhe; eHayidesi icela ngokukhethekile u-Abrahama ukuba "athumele uLazaru" ukuthi agcobhoze umunwe wakhe emanzini amasha ukuze athulise ulimi.
Inkinga ukuthi akanandaba noLazaru, akazizwa emncenga futhi akenzi lutho ukumsiza. Ngenxa yesijeziso sendoda ecebile, kufanele sicabange ukuthi kayenzanga mzamo wokuvusa uzwela, izishintshe - njengoba kwenza abantu abalungile - ukunqoba ubuthakathaka bayo bokuziphatha.
Ingabe ukunganaki kwesicebi kunesono? Umbhalo ucabanga kanjalo. IVangeli lithi uma efa, uya “eHayidesi” lapho “ehlushwa khona”.
Umuntu angaphikisa ukuthi isimo ePalestine yasendulo lehluke kakhulu kunamuhla; ukuthi yayingekho imibuso yezenhlala-kahle, amakhishi esobho, izindawo zokukhosela ezingenamakhaya nosizo lokuqala lapho abampofu bengathola khona usizo lwezempilo oluyisisekelo; futhi ngokuqinisekile akekho umuntu onjengoLazaru olele emnyango wethu!
Ngiyavuma kakhulu: cishe akekho uLazaru olele emnyango wethu wangaphambili.
Kepha imbulunga yonke namhlanje isembozwe ezindaweni ezinjengePalestine yasendulo - izindawo lapho abampofu kufanele babuthane khona izinkwa zabo zansuku zonke, futhi ezinye izinsuku zingenasinkwa, futhi isiphephelo somphakathi esiseduze kakhulu noma umugqa wesandwich uselizweni yebanga. Njengomuntu ocebile, siyazi ukuthi bakhona, ngoba sibabona nsuku zonke, ezindabeni. Sizizwa sikhathazekile. Siyazi ukuthi singasiza, okungenani ngendlela encane.
Futhi ngakho-ke bonke abantu babhekana nezinye izindlela zokuziphatha ezihambisana nokuziphatha: baphendla izindlebe zokunganaki esizizwayo futhi siqhubeke nempilo yethu, noma senze okuthile.
Yini okufanele siyenze? Imibhalo, isiko kanye nokufundiswa kwama Katolika kwezemfundo kuhlangana kuleli phuzu elijwayelekile: kufanele senze konke esingakwenza ukusiza labo abadinga usizo, ikakhulukazi labo abanesidingo esikhulu.
Kwabanye bethu, ama- $ 10 kubhasikidi wokuqoqa weviki yilokho esingakwenza. Kwabanye, ama- $ 10 kubhasikidi afaka ukunganakwa okunecala.
Kufanele sizibuze: Ngabe ngenza konke engingakwenza ngokufanele?
Futhi kufanele sithandaze: Jesu, nginike inhliziyo enozwela ngabampofu futhi ungiqondise ekwenzeni izinqumo ezinhle maqondana nokunakekelwa kwezidingo zabo.
