IT kubonakala kungaphezu kokuchazwa nje kulezi zinsuku: cishe wonke umuntu uthi isikhathi “siyadlula.” ULwesihlanu ulapha ngaphambi kokuthi sazi. Intwasahlobo icishe yaphela—Sengivele- futhi ngiyakubhalela futhi ekuseni (usuku lwashonaphi ??)
Isikhathi sibonakala sidlula ngokoqobo. Kungenzeka yini ukuthi isikhathi siyashesha? Noma kunalokho, isikhathi sokuba kucindezelwe?
Ngenkathi ngicabanga lo mbuzo esikhathini esedlule, iNkosi yabonakala iphendula ngesifaniso sobuchwepheshe: "iMp3". Kunobuchwepheshe obubizwa nge- “compression” lapho ubukhulu beculo (inani lesikhala noma imemori yekhompiyutha elithathayo) lingahle “linciphe” ngaphandle kokuthinta ngokusobala ikhwalithi yomsindo.
Kanjalo futhi, kubonakala sengathi izinsuku zethu ziyacindezelwa, noma umzuzwana owodwa usabonakala njengomzuzwana owodwa.
Siqonde ngasekupheleni kwesikhathi. Manje lapho sisondela ekupheleni kwesikhathi, lapho siqhubeka khona ngokushesha okukhulu - yilokhu okungajwayelekile. Kukhona, njengokungathi, ukusheshisa okuphawuleka kakhulu ngesikhathi; kukhona ukushesha ngesikhathi njengoba kukhona ukushesha ngejubane. Futhi sihamba ngokushesha okukhulu nangokushesha. Kumele sikunake kakhulu lokhu ukuze siqonde okwenzekayo emhlabeni wanamuhla. —Fr. UMarie-Dominique Philippe, OP, ISonto LamaKatolika Ekupheleni Kweminyaka, URalph Martin, ikhasi. 15-16
ISIGINESHA SESIKHATHI
Ukucindezela kungaqala ukonakala ikhwalithi yomsindo wengoma. Ukucindezela okukhona kukhona, umsindo uba mubi kakhulu. Kanjalo futhi, njengoba izinsuku zibonakala “zicindezelwa” ngokwandayo, kulapho kuba khona ukwehla kokuziphatha, ukuhleleka komphakathi, kanye nemvelo.
Muva nje umpristi uthe uNkulunkulu ufinyeza izinsuku… njengesenzo somusa.
Uma iNkosi ibingazifinyezi lezo zinsuku, bekungesindiswe muntu; kodwa ngenxa yabakhethiweyo eyabakhetha, yazifinyeza lezo zinsuku. (Marku 13:20)
Isikhathi sethu yisikhathi sokunyakaza okuqhubekayo okuvame ukuholela ekuphumuleni, ngengozi "yokwenza ngenxa yokwenza". Kumele simelane nalesi silingo ngokuzama "ukuba" ngaphambi kokuzama "ukwenza". - UPAPA JOHN PAUL II, Novo Milenio Ineunte,n. 15
