Q<\/span> uakers ni watu wazuri. Tunajulikana kwa hilo. Tunatabasamu kwa watu tunaowapita barabarani. Tunasafisha baada yetu wenyewe. Tunasema ”tafadhali” na ”asante” kwa wale wanaosafisha meza zetu au kubeba mizigo yetu; sisi kuchakata, na sisi ncha. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lakini wema una mapungufu na mitego ambayo tunapuuza kwa hatari yetu. Ninawasilisha kwamba kwa njia fulani wema unamomonyoa Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki: hutupotosha kutoka kwa mazoea yanayoweza kutudumisha, na kwa njia fulani husababisha madhara halisi. Marafiki wengi wameona kwamba mikutano yetu ina mvi, inapungua, na inapoteza uhai. Kupata kushughulikia juu ya uzuri kunaweza kusaidia kubadilisha mtindo huo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tatizo<\/b><\/h3>\n

Nilisaidia<\/span> hivi majuzi katika darasa la shule ya kati kwenye mkutano mkubwa na maarufu. Shughuli za siku hiyo zilijumuisha chemsha bongo ya mchezo wa Quaker ambayo ilihusisha Rafiki mmoja wa darasa la sita haswa. Akiwa amelelewa katika mkutano huu wa kazi, alijua kanuni zake za Quaker na alikuwa na hamu ya kujifunza zaidi. Lakini kwa kila swali lililoanza na \u201cKwa nini Waquaker . . . aligeukia uzuri kama sababu. Kwa nini Quakers hufanya kazi kwa usawa? Ili kila mtu ajisikie vizuri. Kwa nini jumuiya ni muhimu kwa Marafiki? Kwa hivyo hakuna hisia za mtu kuumiza. Kwa nini Quakers wanafanya biashara jinsi tunavyofanya? Kwa sababu maoni ya kila mtu ni muhimu. Katika kila jibu lake, kulikuwa na kiasi kidogo cha ukweli na pengo la kukosa habari. Ni wazi kwamba mvulana huyo alilelewa katika dini ambayo alifikiri kuwa Jumuiya ya Heshima ya Watu wa Nice. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sasa, sitetei ulimwengu usio na wema. Inafanya mengi mazuri katika maeneo sahihi, na kutokuwepo kwake kunaweza kuwa mbaya sana. Ikiwa chaguo jingine pekee ni vurugu ya aina fulani, basi wema ni chaguo la busara, na katika hali fulani kila kitu kinategemea wema. Wakati si muhimu kuendeleza uhusiano au kuimarisha uhusiano uliopo, kwa mfano, uzuri unaweza kuwa msaidizi mwenye kichwa baridi na tochi ambaye huonyesha kila mtu salama kwenye njia za kutokea za ukumbi wa michezo unaowaka. Viongozi wa mataifa yenye migogoro wanaweza kuepusha vita kwa kuwa wema wao kwa wao. Upatanishi uliofanikiwa unahitaji wema, kama vile shughuli nyingi za biashara. Uzuri ni muhimu kwa uhusiano wa ujirani kama vile ua. <\/span><\/p>\n

Walakini, ninataka kutofautisha wema na fadhili, ambayo ni jambo lingine kabisa. Fadhili hutoka kwa upendo na husababisha uhusiano wa karibu; inafariji na kuunganisha pamoja; inahusiana na huruma na vilevile kujidhabihu, utumishi, na heshima. Tunapotenda kwa fadhili, tunahisi matokeo yake kwa ustadi kama vile wale ambao tunawaonyesha fadhili zetu. Wakati mwingine ni vigumu kupata fadhili, lakini tunapofanya hivyo, hutuinua juu ya chanzo cha upinzani wetu na kutupa ufahamu mpana na wa kina zaidi kuhusu sisi wenyewe na wengine. Kinyume chake, wema hutoka kwa mazoea na wakati mwingine hata kutoka kwa woga, usumbufu, au chuki. Ni rahisi, na hutufanya tujisikie vizuri. Inatuwezesha kuweka mawazo yetu ya awali kuhusu wengine. Inajifanya kuwa ya kujali huku ikipinga ukaribu; inatenganisha kwa kuwasilisha kutopendezwa na hali nzuri. Uzuri unamaanisha, ”Ninaweka mambo ya juu juu kwa sababu huna chochote cha thamani cha kunipa.” Tunapokuwa wazuri, tunabaki tofauti na tunaweza hata kupata hali ya ubora. Niceness ni mbwa mwitu aliyevaa ngozi ya kondoo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Haya ni baadhi ya mambo mazuri ambayo watu hawafanyi: Pingana. Changamoto. Kuingilia. Jisifu. Pry. Jadili mambo ya ”faragha”. Uliza ”mengi” ya wengine. Tembea kuelekea mzozo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kuna sehemu mbili ambazo wema haututumii kama Marafiki. Mmoja ni miongoni mwetu; nyingine ni katika ushirikiano wetu na dunia. Na kwa kuwa hiyo inashughulikia kila kitu tulicho na kufanya, ni muhimu kwamba tujifunze kutambua wakati wema unadhoofisha yote tunayothamini, ili tuweze kuitumia kwa nia inapofaa na kuepuka mvuto wake wakati sivyo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Uzuri ndani ya Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki<\/b><\/h3>\n

Siku<\/span> zilizopita nilitembelea kanisa la Kiprotestanti la katikati mwa jiji huko Cleveland, Ohio, ambalo mhudumu wake angeweza kujishikilia mwenyewe kwenye kipindi chochote cha mazungumzo ya vichekesho, aina ambayo ukweli unasemwa. Mada yake ilikuwa ni Mwili wa Kristo ulioishi pale pale kati ya kusanyiko lake. Ilikuwa imechoka, imechoka, imezeeka, na imechoka, alisema. Lo, watu walikuwa wakiishi kwa amani na kazi zilikuwa zikishughulikiwa, lakini Nuru ilikuwa imetoweka. Aliiga jinsi washiriki wa parokia yake walivyosalimiana: \u201cMnaendeleaje\u201d? Changamfu, changamfu, kizuri, sauti ya sauti ikipanda kwa furaha, hitaji la jibu linalohitajika (\u201cAh, asante, vipi kuhusu wewe?\u201d) lilijengwa ndani. Kile Nuru alihitaji, alisema, ni salamu ambayo shangazi yake alitumia kumpa kila mtu ambaye alipitia mlango wa nyuma kuingia jikoni kwake: \u201cUnaingiaje?\u201d Joto, karibu-up, polepole, timbre kuanguka mwishoni katika kufuli tight ya macho. <\/span><\/p>\n

Je, tunajali vya kutosha kusukuma kando pazia la wema na kujuana sisi kwa sisi? Kuingia faragha na kushiriki jinsi talaka inakuja, daktari alisema nini kuhusu matokeo ya vipimo hivyo, jinsi utimamu ulivyopingwa usiku wa jana, jinsi hasira imetupeleka mahali pa giza tunahangaika kutafuta njia ya kutoka, imekuwaje miezi kadhaa tangu tuhisi uwepo wa Mungu? Je, tuna kiwango hicho cha uaminifu miongoni mwetu? Zaidi ya hayo, je, tunatambua aina hiyo ya mazungumzo kuwa maji katika bustani ya uhai wa kiroho? <\/span><\/p>\n

Mnamo mwaka wa 1657 George Fox aliwasihi \u201cMarafiki kila mahali\u201d \u201ckujuana katika yale ambayo ni ya milele\u201d kwa sababu \u201chii inawatofautisha ninyi na wanyama wa porini, na maarifa ya ulimwengu\u201d (Waraka wa 149). Aliendelea kusema kwamba kukutana pamoja katika Nuru hutuokoa kutokana na \u201ckukimbia [kukimbia] katika dunia,\u201d kutoka kwa \u201ckuchoka [] na wavivu, na wazembe, na wazito, na wavivu, na wavivu, na wafu.\u201d Kwa maneno mengine, ushirika wetu katika Nuru hutuzuia kusahau ni nini kinachotufanya kuwa Marafiki. Pamoja katika Nuru hutuweka katika Nuru. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kujuana katika umilele ni mbali na wema. Inahitaji kufanya mambo yote ambayo wema unakataza. Inamaanisha kuwa katika mazingira magumu, kufikia tofauti na migogoro, kuweka wazi nafasi za ndani za ndani, na kuaminiana. Huenda likawa jambo gumu zaidi tunalowahi kufanya. Lakini Fox alisisitiza hili kwetu kwa sababu mazoezi yenyewe ya urafiki kama huo ni nidhamu ya kiroho. Hakusema tufahamiane namna hii kwa sababu inajenga jumuiya ya kupendeza, au kwa sababu inatufanya tustarehe, au hata kwa sababu inatuunganisha. <\/span>–<\/span>ambayo wakati mwingine hufanya na wakati mwingine haifanyi, angalau kwa muda mfupi. Alisema kuwa bila nidhamu hii ya kiroho tunapoteza uhusiano wetu na Nuru. Kujuana katika kina kirefu zaidi ya uzuri ni ushuhuda mwingi wa Marafiki kama mazoea mengine ambayo hutuweka waaminifu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ulimwengu wa kilimwengu unaendana vyema na uzuri, lakini Nuru ambayo tunakutana nayo inadai umakini kwa kiwango cha ndani zaidi cha sisi na sisi wenyewe kwa wenyewe. Tunajivunia uzuri tunapoitikia kwa heshima na kutembea mbele ya wale ambao tunahisi tofauti nao, tunapokubali kuhudumu katika nafasi ambayo hatuhisi kuongozwa kikamilifu, wakati mikutano yetu ya kamati na biashara ina mazungumzo ya raha badala ya kuwa makini kwa ibada, tunapochagua njia ya upinzani mdogo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Katika mkutano mmoja ambao ninaufahamu, kamati ya uwazi iliundwa ili kutambua uanachama wa mshirika wa mwanachama wa sasa. Kwa urahisi, kwa kuwa kila mtu aliishi umbali fulani, halmashauri ilikutana kwenye jumba la mikutano kabla ya ibada. Alipoulizwa kwa nini alitafuta uanachama, mgombea huyo alijibu kuwa ni kwa sababu \u201cWaquaker hawana imani, hivyo hawakuambii cha kuamini.\u201d Ijapokuwa wajumbe wa kamati waliona kuwa jibu hili lilidhihirisha uhitaji mkubwa wa elimu, badala yake walifanya uungwana, wakitikisa vichwa vyao kwa ustaarabu na kufanya uamuzi wa haraka haraka ili wasichelewe kuhudhuria ibada, hatari ya kumuudhi mshirika, au kumsumbua kila mtu kwenye kikao kingine cha kamati. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mengi yalipotea wakati huu. Wanakamati walipoteza uadilifu; mwanachama mpya alikosa kuchunguza zaidi; kila mtu mle chumbani alipoteza nafasi ya kufahamiana vyema na kupata usaidizi wa Nuru katika kuwafahamisha. Labda kikubwa zaidi, mkutano ulipoteza fursa ya kupanua safu zake za wanachama ambao wanafahamu kikamilifu maana ya kuwa Rafiki, na hivyo Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki ilithibitisha kuwa balozi ambaye angebeba uelewa wake usio sahihi ulimwenguni. Kwa kupepesa macho, wema uliharibu mustakabali wa Marafiki. <\/span><\/p>\n

Utambuzi sio mchakato mzuri. Tunaposogeza ndani ili kuongea ujumbe tunaopokea wakati wa ibada, tunapitia msitu wa majisifu, kujidanganya, uhitaji, kutojiamini, na kila aina ya misukumo mingine ya kivuli ili kufikia nuru mbichi ya ukweli. Uzuri kwetu wenyewe hupotosha maana nzima ya mchakato huu, bila kutaja matokeo. Tunaposikiliza pamoja kwa ajili ya maana ya mkutano, tunaweka maamuzi yetu ya shirika kwenye ukaguzi usio na kikomo na mkali. Wakati mwingine lazima tuingie mahali pa giza pamoja. Fadhili, upole, ustahimilivu, msamaha, na subira vyote vina nafasi katika mchakato huu, lakini wema hauna nafasi. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ikiwa tungebadilisha maingiliano yetu mara kwa mara kutoka kwa wema hadi kwa fadhili, fikiria jinsi ibada yetu ingeongezeka, upendo wetu kwa sisi kwa sisi utachanua, hisia zetu wenyewe kama Marafiki kutua ndani ya kina cha asili yetu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ni mara ngapi tunashangaa kwa nini wageni hawajarudi, wakisema, \u201cLakini tulikuwa wazuri sana kwao!\u201d?<\/p><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n

Uzuri katika mawasiliano yetu<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hivi majuzi nilifurahia<\/span> mazungumzo marefu na Rafiki aliyejitolea sana ambaye nimemfahamu kwa zaidi ya miaka 20, na aliniambia hadithi ya jinsi alivyokuja Marafiki. Alilelewa bila imani hususa ya kidini, lakini akiwa tineja, alienda kwenye mkutano wa Quaker na jirani yake sasa na kisha \u201ckwa sababu binti yake alikuwa mrembo.\u201d Mmoja wa wanaume waliokuwa katika mkutano huo, mtu ambaye anamtaja kama \u201cmzee,\u201d alimwalika watembee siku moja baada ya ibada, na pamoja wakatoka kwenye jumba la mikutano na kutembea-tembea barabarani. Mzee aliuliza jinsi alikuwa, na kijana akaanzisha aina ya jibu la kawaida: jinsi timu yake ya soka ilivyokuwa ikifanya vizuri, masomo ambayo alipenda na kutopenda shuleni. Mwanamume huyo alisikiliza kwa muda, na kisha wakati wa utulivu, akasema, ”Hapana, kwa kweli, maisha yako yakoje?” Ufunuo huo ulimgusa mvulana huyu tineja kwa nguvu ya usadikisho: \u201cwatu hawa wanapendezwa na mambo ya maana.\u201d Alihisi kutunzwa kikamilifu na kweli, na alijua kwamba hapa ndipo alipostahili. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ni mara ngapi tunashangaa kwa nini wageni hawajarudi, wakisema, \u201cLakini tulikuwa wazuri sana kwao!\u201d?<\/span><\/p>\n

Katika hotuba yake kuu katika Mkutano Mkuu wa Marafiki wa 2015, Parker Palmer alielezea hitaji la haraka la Jumuiya ya Kidini ya Marafiki ya kufanywa upya. Alitaja ukweli kwamba idadi yetu ilipungua kwa nusu kati ya 1972 na 2012. \u201cTakwimu kama hizi\u2014pamoja na kuongezeka kwa umri wa wastani wa washiriki wa mikutano\u2014zina wachunguzi fulani wenye akili timamu wanaodokeza kwamba huenda jumuiya ya Quaker ikakoma mwisho wa karne hii.\u201d Hata hivyo, aliona kwamba ulimwengu umejaa watu aliowataja kuwa wenye njaa ya \u201chazina\u201d ambazo Friends wanazo kwa wingi: \u201chazina ambazo nyakati fulani zimefichwa kwetu kwa kuzizoea, na mara nyingi sana kufichwa kwa wengine kwa kusita kwetu, hata kutokuwa na uwezo, kuzizungumzia.\u201d Kwa kadiri kwamba kusita huko kunatokana na makosa kuhusu kuonekana kujisifu au kukanyaga ardhi nyeti au kuingilia faragha ya msikilizaji, wema unachangia tatizo hilo. <\/span><\/p>\n

Palmer pia anabainisha kuwa baadhi ya changamoto za kupanua Jumuiya ya Marafiki zimejengwa katika imani na mazoea yake. Hasa, yeye asema kwamba \u201cnamna yayo ya ibada iliyo wazi\u2014na imani yayo ya kuendelea kufunuliwa\u2014inaweza kudhaniwa kwa urahisi kuwa \u2018chochote kinaenda.\u2019\u201d Marafiki wa Kiliberali wenyewe hutangaza uwongo huu kwa kuwapa wapya wazo la kwamba hatuna imani hususa. Si vizuri kuwaambia wageni wako cha kufanya na kusema, kwa hivyo tunatoa kile tunachofikiria kuwa kitanda cha kukaribisha kwa kuwahakikishia wageni kwamba imani zote ni halali hapa. Lakini hii si kweli zaidi kuliko maneno mengine mengi ambayo uzuri huzaa. Uelewa mdogo wa kawaida wa marafiki ni nani ni uwakilishi mbaya kwa wengine na unaharibu utambulisho wetu wenyewe. Kwa kweli, Marafiki wana seti ya imani, desturi, maadili, na mitazamo inayoshikiliwa na watu wengi. Kujifanya vinginevyo kwa nia ya kuchora wageni huangazia jinsi uzuri unaweza kukaribia udanganyifu. <\/span><\/p>\n

Usemi huu mahususi wa wema unachanganya hamu yetu ya kuongezeka kwa anuwai. Inaweza kuonekana kana kwamba mwaliko wa \u201cnjoo jinsi ulivyo\u201d ungehimiza utofauti kwa kukaribisha kila mtu, lakini kama Adria Gulizia anavyoonyesha katika \u201cUtofauti Kubwa wa Rangi Huhitaji Tofauti Kubwa Zaidi za Kitheolojia\u201d ( <\/span>Jarida la Marafiki<\/span><\/i> Jan. 2019), aina hii ya relativism ”inalingana vyema na weupe, watu wa tabaka la kati hadi la juu, utamaduni huria” na kuwatenga wale ambao, kama watu wengi wa rangi tofauti, wanashikilia nadharia zaidi za kitamaduni. Teolojia hizo ziko hai na zinafaa miongoni mwa Marafiki, lakini angalau kwa kiasi fulani kutokana na wema, tunazificha. Vivyo hivyo, vijana wanaotafuta makao ya kidini na ya kiroho wanaweza kutafuta kitu zaidi ya \u201cchochote kinachoenda\u201d ambacho ulimwengu wa kilimwengu hutoa kwa wingi. Mawazo yetu kuhusu kuwa mbele sana au kuingilia sana yanaweza kutuzuia kuwasilisha sisi ni nani hasa. Kwa hivyo, tunashindwa kutoa makaribisho ya kweli kwa wale ambao wanaweza kutajirisha jumuiya yetu kwa njia isiyopimika. <\/span><\/p>\n

Wakati watu wana njaa ya Ukweli, wema ni sawa na kiganja cha chips za viazi. Kwa kweli, Marafiki wana karamu ya lishe ya kushiriki. Ikiwa, badala ya wema, tunatoa wema, heshima, usikivu, shauku ya kweli, na uwazi kuhusu uzoefu wetu wenyewe katika Nuru, basi tunaonyesha ukarimu wa kweli na kuonyesha aina ya makao ya kiroho tunayopaswa kutoa. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mbele bila wema<\/b><\/h3>\n

Fadhila<\/span> ya kidunia, uzuri ni farasi wa Trojan kati ya Marafiki. Kuzoeana kwake kunaweza kutia moyo, lakini faraja rahisi haitoi aina ya mikutano ya kiroho ambayo Marafiki hutafuta. Tunapofungua Nuru, kile inachomulika kinaweza kisiwe kizuri. Inaweza kuwa changamoto, usumbufu, discomfiting, kunyenyekea, hata usumbufu; inaweza kupingana na mambo ambayo sisi au wengine tumeshikilia kuwa kweli kabisa. Inaweza pia kung’aa, kutia moyo, kuinua, kusonga kwa undani, kubadilisha. Uzoefu wa marafiki unatuambia kwamba itakuwa na manufaa sikuzote. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kama vile wema unavyoweza kuficha milango ya mabadiliko ya kiroho, unaweza pia kutuzuia kuishi ujasiri wa imani zetu. Inaweza kutunyima uzoefu wa kuwezesha wa kushuhudia ulimwengu kwamba sisi ni Marafiki, na hivyo kuwanyima wengine nafasi ya kujifunza kile tunachojua. Njia mbadala ya wema si lazima iwe ubaya, ukatili, au kitu chochote cha aina hiyo. Kuishi na kupumua sisi ni nani, hata katika hatari ya kuwa hatarini au intrusive, inaweza kuwa tendo la neema na hatimaye kuunganisha. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
