Abantu abasoyika ukufa

死杀大匠斫

Okuyintloko

民不畏死，奈何以死惧之？若使民常畏死，而为奇者，吾得执而杀之，孰敢？
常有司杀者杀。夫代司杀者杀，是谓代大匠斫。夫代大匠斫者，希有不伤其手矣。

Ukucinga Okunzulu

Yenzelwe ntoni le ngxenye?

Le ndima ibonisa ingcingane ngokuthi ukusoyikwa kokufa kuyasetyenziswa ukulawula. Kodwa xa abantu benze ishwa lokusoyika, le ndlela ayisebenzi. Kwakhona, kukho umzekeliso omkhulu wokwahlula kwendima yobulali. Kufuneka umbulali ayenze umsebenzi wakhe, kwaye abanye abanakho ukuwenza ngokwenza nokwenza kwabo bobugcisa obusisigqibo.

Kuthetha ntoni kwire?

Ebomini bam, ndijongana nengxabano yolawulo. Ndifuna ukulawula ngokuxhaphakisa amandla, kodwa le ndima iyandisa. Ndicinga ngokuthi kuyanzima xa ndisebenzisa uloyiko ngokwamaxesha am. Kwaye ndicinga ngokuthi kuyanzima ukuthatha indima engalunganga. Ndiyajonga ukusika kwezinto ezingalunganga, kodwa kuyenzeka ukuba ndizenzele eyona mpazamo.

Yintoni endiyenzayo namhlanje?

Namhlanje, ndiza kuhlala ndisazizela ngendlela enobulali xa ndijongana nokwahlula kwabanye. Ndiza kuhlala ndisazizela nokuba ngowuphi na umzekeliso wokuqala wokuhlambela izandla xa kukho izinto ezintsha ekufuneka zenziwe. Kwaye ndiza kubhala izinto endizenzileyo endazenzela ukuzibona.
