Miyala yomwe ili m'msima ndi mphasa ikhoza kuba yabwino, chifukwa ikhala pansi, choncho ikhoza kubwerera. Motero, yemwe akufuna kuyimirira pamwamba pa anthu, ayenera kuwawopedzera mawu; yemwe akufuna kutsogolo pa anthu, ayenera kuika thupi lake pambuyo pawo. Choncho, munthu wanzeru amene amayimirira pamwamba, anthu sayenamira; amene amayimirira pambali, anthu sasokoneza. Chifukwa cha ichi, anthu onse adzakonda kumuuza koma sadachite. Chifukwa sichikonde kukanana, choncho palibe amene akhoza kukanana naye.
