Ukukhetha Phakathi Kwabathandekayo Nenjabulo Yethu

UJames Joyce unendaba emfushane, "u-Eveline," mayelana nowesifazane osemusha oneminyaka engu-19, u-Eveline Hill, obhekene nokukhetha phakathi kokuqhubeka nokuhlala nobaba wakhe owayemhlukumeza eDublin bese eya eBuenos Aires naye (imfihlo evela kubaba wakhe), Itilosi okuthiwa uFrank. U-Eveline uthembisa uFrank ukuthi uzohamba naye futhi amshade, futhi okwesikhashana, ujabule ngaleli themba. Ngeke esaphinde ezwe uMiss Gavan, isikhulu esitolo asebenza kuso, athi kuye phambi kwamakhasimende, "Miss Hill, awuboni lezi zintokazi zilindile?" Kunalokho, wayezophathwa ngenhlonipho. Impilo yakhe noFrank, ucabanga ukuthi, ibizoba ngcono - ibe ngcono kakhulu - kunaleyo eyayiphilwa ngunina ongasekho noyise. UFrank, ngokungafani noyise, unomusa futhi unenhliziyo evulekile. Uyakuthanda ukucula futhi uyindoda elungile.

Kodwa njengoba usuku lokuhamba lusondela, imicabango ka-Eveline iya ngokuya iphindaphindeka ingabi ngekusasa eBuenos Aires kepha ibheke esikhathini esedlule. Ubaba ka-Eveline wayekade ehlukumeza njalo. Kwaphela iminyaka kwakunzima ukuthola imali yomndeni kuye, kodwa kamuva nje, wayeqale ukusongela u-Eveline ngodlame, esho ukuthi uzokwenzani kuye kodwa ngenxa kanina ongasekho. Kodwa-ke, u-Eveline manje uzithola ecabanga ngohlangothi olungcono lukayise: lokuthi wabenza kanjani abafowabo kanye naye ukuhleka lapho besebancane ngokufaka ibhonethi likanina; ukuthi kanye, ngesikhathi egula, wamfundela indaba wenza i-toast. Uyakhumbula futhi ukuthi wayethembise umama wakhe ukugcina umndeni ubumbene. Yini okufanele ayenze? UJoyce uyabhala:

Phunyuka! Kumele abaleke! UFrank uzomsindisa. Wayengamnika impilo, mhlawumbe nothando, futhi. Kodwa wayefuna ukuphila. Kungani kufanele angajabuli? Wayenelungelo lokuthola injabulo. UFrank wayezombamba, amsonge ezandleni zakhe. Wayezomsindisa.

Lapho isikhathi sifika, noma kunjalo, u-Eveline uzithola engasakwazi ukuhamba. UFrank uyamdonsela esikebheni, kodwa ubamba insimbi ngawo wonke amandla akhe. Umgoqo uyawa, kanti uFrank ubuyela emuva edlula umgoqo ebheke ku-Eveline, embiza, kodwa kwaba nhlanga zimuka nomoya. U-Eveline ukhetha uyise omhlukumezayo ngaphezu kwempilo engcono noFrank. Ukhetha ukuhlala eDublin.

Ngazi abantu abasenkingeni ka-Eveline. Esikhathini esingengakanani esidlule, benginomfundi obesenze kahle kakhulu phakathi nengxenye yokuqala yesemester kodwa izinga lomsebenzi wakhe lehla ngokuzumayo. Ngambuza ukuthi kwenzekeni. Uthe ubuye wabizwa ekhaya ukuzonakekela izingane zakubo ezincane kanye nelungu lomndeni eligulayo. Isitshudeni besifuna usizo kimi ekunqumeni ukuthi ngenzeni. Ubuze ukuthi ngabe ngicabanga ukuthi uzoba ngumuntu ozithandayo yini uma ekhetha ukushiya indawo yangakubo ayogxila ezifundweni zakhe. Angikhumbuli ukuthi ngathini ngqo, kodwa ngiyakhumbula ukuthi ngamthumelela indaba kaJoyce nge-Eveline Hill.

Yini okufanele siyenze esimweni esinjengalesi - lapho amalungu omndeni sizibophezele ukusibuyisela emuva empilweni?

Into yokuqala engifisa ukuyiphawula ukuthi leli cala lihluke kakhulu kunalokhu okulandelayo: Ingane evilaphayo futhi engaphenduli imosha imali yabazali bayo esikhundleni sokufuna umsebenzi, noma kungenjalo ihlala ubusuku bonke edolobheni kuyilapho umzali ogulayo edinga usizo. Kulezo zimo zokugcina, abantu bakhetha ukuzithokozisa okungenamsebenzi kunezidingo ezibalulekile zalabo abaseduze nabathandekayo futhi mhlawumbe, ngaphezu kwemisebenzi yabo.

Icala enginalo emqondweni lihlukile futhi kulelo lapho umuntu ovela emndenini ompofu enza umcebo kodwa enqaba ukuboleka noma yimuphi umndeni wakhe.

Abanye bangazama ukufanisa phakathi kwamacala afana nalawa ka-Eveline noma umfundi wami nalawo engane engenankinga noma ocebile manje okhohlwa izimpande zakhe. Abanye bangasebenzisa ukufana ukuze badwebe umuntu okhetha ukulandela izinhloso zakhe njengobugovu futhi ongabongi. Kepha akukho ukufana lapha. Ukucaca, angisho ukuthi wonke umuntu ovela emndenini ompofu oceba futhi aphumelele unesibopho sokuthumela imali kumalungu omndeni ahlwempu, noma. Okuningi kuya ngokuthi abanye babemuhle kangakanani kuye. Ngemuva kwalokho, abazali bomuntu bebengahlukumeza kakhulu - ngokwengqondo noma ngokomzimba - baze balahle noma isiphi isimangalo abangaba naso ekubongeleni noma kosizo lwengane. Kepha ezimweni eziningi, ikakhulukazi lezo lapho abazali bomuntu bebengasekeli lutho - mhlawumbe bezidela kakhulu ukuze bakwazi ukukhokhela ukuya esikoleni - bekungaba okuyihlazo futhi kube yinto engeyinhle ukufulathela kamuva, lapho umuntu engasiza.

Kodwa-ke, amacala engiwakhethile ahluke kakhulu. Ukuthi amalungu omndeni ezimeni ezinjengalezo zesitshudeni sami noma u-Eveline avamise ukufuna akukhona nje ukumane kusize. Bafuna omunye - imvamisa abe yingane kepha kwesinye isikhathi ingane yakini, umzukulu, noma esinye isihlobo - badele izinhloso zakhe, izifiso zakhe, kanye nethuba lokuthola injabulo. Baphikelela ekubeni nezwi lokuthi impilo yomunye izohamba kanjani, futhi abakukhathalelayo ngokuyinhloko akuzona izintshisakalo zomunye kodwa ezabo.

UCatherine Arrowpoint ovela kwinoveli kaGeorge Eliot UDaniel Deronda izizathu ezehlukile ku-Eveline Hill. UCatherine uvela emndenini ohloniphekile, futhi kuye, akuyona imali noma isikhathi abazali bakhe abasifunayo; kunalokho, abazali bakaCatherine, unina ikakhulukazi, baphikelela emandleni we-veto uma kukhulunywa ngomshado wentokazi. Umama ufuna uCatherine alahle umbono wokushada nomculi, uHerr Klesmer, oqhamuka emlandweni ophansi. Uzama ukuncenga uCatherine ukuthi inyunyana enjalo ngeke ibe nehle - ihlazo emndenini.

Ngenkathi iJoyce's Eveline ihlukaniswe ngaphakathi futhi ikhuleka kuNkulunkulu ukuthi ayikhombise indlela eya phambili, umama kaCatherine usho ngokusobala ukuthi uCatherine unemisebenzi yomndeni evimbela ukushada noHerr Klesmer. Umama uzama ukona-akhubekise indodakazi ayeke ipulani lokuba unkosikazi wendoda ayithandayo. UCatherine, nokho, uyaphikisana. U-Eliot uyabhala:

“Owesifazane osesikhundleni sakho unemisebenzi ebalulekile. Lapho kungqubuzana khona nomsebenzi nokuthambekela, kufanele alandele isibopho. ”

“Angikuphiki lokho,” kusho uCatherine eqala ukubanda ngokulingana nokushisa kukanina. “Kodwa umuntu angasho izinto eziyiqiniso futhi azisebenzise ngamanga. Abantu bangathatha kalula umsebenzi ongcwele wegama njengegama lalokho abafisa ukuthi omunye umuntu akwenze. ”

Vele, kungenzeka ukuthi kube lula ngoCatherine kunokuba ku-Eveline ame aqine, ngoba izimfuno zikamama kaCatherine zisuselwe kwikhodi yomphakathi uCatherine ayibona ingavumelani. Umama kaCatherine akadingi usizo. Noma kunjalo, la macala womabili asezindleleni ezibalulekile ezifanayo, ngaphandle kokuthi abesifazane abasha ababili benza izinqumo ezihlukile. UCatherine ukholelwa ukuthi unelungelo lokushada nendoda athandana nayo, futhi uyayenza. U-Eveline akaze aphethe ngokuthi unesibopho sokuhlala, kodwa uzithola engasakwazi ukuhamba.

Ngenkathi u-Eveline ebhekene nenkinga yakhe, ukhumbula okuthile umama wakhe akusho esembhedeni wokufa. Umama ube esefutheka futhi engaphilile kahle engqondweni, kepha amagama abuyela ku-Eveline: "Derevaun Seraun." UJoyce akahlinzeki ngokuhumusha ibinzana, kepha ngokusobala, lesi yigama lesi-Irish Gaelic elisho ukuthi: "Ekupheleni kobumnandi, kukhona ubuhlungu." Sinikezwe ukuqonda ukuthi ku-Eveline, le nkulumo icebisa ibhalansi ngokuvumela ukuhlala.

Kukhona, nokho, izifundo ezahlukahlukene u-Eveline abengazithola esisho esidala. Ngokwesibonelo, wayengaphetha ngokuthi uzobe ekhokha inani ngokushiya, ukuthi mhlawumbe ubuhlungu abunakugwenywa, kodwa noma kunjalo, ukuhamba noFrank yilokho okufanele akwenze. Kungani engakwenzi?

Kunzima ukusho, kepha ngicabanga ukuthi u-Eveline uthola ukuthi kunesibopho esibambe eDublin, okuyisibopho angeke asinqamule. Kwakungaba lula ukuthi u-Eveline ahambe noFrank aye eBuenos Aires ukube ubaba wakhe wayemubi ngokuphelele, uma engakaze azame ukujabulisa izingane zakhe ezincane noma enze noma yini ukunakekela u-Eveline. Okwedlule kuka-Eveline, kuleso simo, bekungaba mhlophe, kepha ikusasa lakhe belizokhanya, mhlawumbe likhanye kakhulu. Okubi kakhulu kunokungabi nalo nhlobo uthando, kwesinye isikhathi, uthando oluguquguqukayo, oluncane, kanye nobugovu, uthando oluqine ngokwanele ukusizwisa ubuhlungu kepha lumsulwa ngokwanele ukusilethela injabulo.
