Kuhusu Kupinga kwa Dhamiri Ulimwengu wa Vurugu<\/h4>\n\n
\n

Tunaishi katika ulimwengu huu, lakini hatufanyi kama watu wake wala hatupigani vita vyetu kwa silaha za ulimwengu huu. Badala yake, tunatumia nguvu za Mungu ambazo zinaweza kuharibu ngome. (2 Wakorintho 10:3\u20134, Contemporary English Version [CEV]) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kusimama kwa miaka mingi katika kusubiri kwa matarajio ili Nuru ya Ndani izungumze tena waziwazi kuhusu kukataa kujiunga na jeshi kwa sababu ya dhamiri dhidi ya vita imekuwa shughuli ya kukatisha tamaa. Nilijua imani yangu, lakini sikujua jinsi ya kuisema kwa athari. Ulimwengu unazungumza kwa sauti kubwa kuhusu kuepukika na manufaa ya vita na vurugu, kuhusu nani anastahili kuishi (na nani hastahili), na kisha, hatua inachukuliwa na damu inamwagika. Ukimya wa jamii yetu ya Quaker unazungumza waziwazi vilevile. Ulimwengu unaendelea kuzungumza kwa sauti kubwa, lakini leo Nuru ya Ndani inafanya hivyo pia, na inawaka. <\/p>\n\n

Uwazi wa kiroho wa kupinga vita wa miaka yangu ya mapema ya ishirini ulianza kuwa wazi wakati wa uzoefu wa mtu wa tatu wa kutoka kwenye uwanja wa kupiga risasi\u2014usahihi uliboreshwa (uwezo wa kuua ukiongezeka)\u2014sauti iliyonizunguka iliuliza, ”Unafanya nini hapa?” Sauti hiyo imekuwa haipo karibu kabisa katika miaka tangu wakati huo. Nadra sawa ilikuwa hisia kubwa ya kuchanganyikiwa, ikifuatiwa na uwazi wa kutisha, ambao ulinigusa katika Shule ya Ranger ya Jeshi la Marekani. Nilipokuwa nikitazama maneno ”Mbele kuelekea adui” kwenye bomu la claymore la mazoezi, nilisikia sauti ile kuuliza swali rahisi: ”Nani adui?” Nilijua Yesu alikwisha kujibu swali hilo, basi ni nani aliyekuwa akiniongoza? <\/p>\n\n

Muda mfupi baada ya uzoefu huu na mazungumzo magumu na rafiki aliyepigana Iraq (aliuawa akiwa askari wa kawaida, lakini usiulize na usiseme), nilifungua mfuko wangu wa mgongoni, nikachukua bomu lile lile, nikasimama mbele ya kikosi changu (ambao walikuwa wamenichagua kuanzisha ujumbe wetu wa kwanza katika Kambi ya Darby) na nikawajulisha, ”Siamini ninachofanya hapa. Bahati njema.” Haya yalikuwa maneno rahisi ambayo yalifanya nia zangu zijulikane lakini yalikosa uwazi wa dhamiri. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Mmesikia kwamba ilisemwa, ”Utampenda jirani yako na kumchukia adui yako.” Lakini mimi nawaambia, wapendeni adui zenu, wabarikieni wale wanaowalaani, watendeni mema wale wanaowachukia, na waombeeni wale wanaowatendea mabaya na kuwatesa. (Mathayo 5:43\u201344, New King James Version [NKJV]). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Kukiri kwamba nilikosa uwezo wa kuua, machozi ya faraja, mahali pa kulala chini ya banda, mateke ya viatu vikali katika mfuko wangu wa kulala wakati dhamiri yangu na mimi tulipokuwa tunapumzika, kupiga kelele, mjadala kuhusu vita vya Iraq na Afghanistan ambao ulinibanisha ukutani huku mate na vidole vikipeperushwa, safari ya kwenda katikati ya msitu ”kukusanya takataka” mahali ambapo hapakuwa na takataka, kulala karibu na mwenzi wa kitanda aliyeniambia alijiunga ili kuua. Matokeo yote ni uficho wa kulinda. Kulikuwa na simu: ”Umeharibu maisha yako,” na simu nyingine, ”Ninakupenda. Hebu tujaribu kutatua hili.” Zote zilizungumzwa katika Ukweli, kutokana na upendo (na hofu). Maisha yangu hayakuharibiwa, lakini bado sijatatua. Kutafuta hakuna mwisho. <\/p>\n\n

Nimeandika tu toleo la hali nzuri zaidi la hadithi hii hapo awali. Nilichagua kuhisi msaada na heshima kutoka kwa askari wengi ”wanaopinga vita” katika mafunzo (na kufundisha wengine) wa kuua, kwa nini basi nizingatie mambo mabaya? Walikuwa marafiki, baadhi yao marafiki wazuri. Changamoto hazikuwa karibu na mizigo ya kujeruhi roho ambayo askari wengi, wazee wa vita, familia zao, na hata idadi kubwa zaidi ya raia katika tamaduni mbalimbali wanabeba leo kwa sababu ya kuvutiwa kwetu pamoja na kupigana vita. Muda wangu katika jeshi ulikuwa mfupi kwa baraka, na ingawa niliondolewa kama mwenye dhamiri ya kupinga vita, niliondoka bila kujisikia kama mzee wa vita wala mtu wa amani; vikundi vyote viwili vinanikumbusha hili leo, kwa makusudi au la. Ni uzito mdogo ninaoubeba. Mimi si mwenye hasira ya kutosha, wala mwenye amani ya kutosha, wala mwenye ufahamu wa kutosha, wala mwenye uangalifu wa kutosha. <\/p>\n\n

Wakati uliendelea, na familia yangu na jukumu langu kama mwalimu wa shule ya umma vikawa utambulisho wangu. Nilikuwa na kusudi la amani na niliweza kufanya kazi katika Nuru kila siku na wanafunzi wangu, familia, jamii ya shule, na katika uwanja mkubwa wa elimu. Hakutakuwa na kufungua mfuko wa mgongoni mara hii na bado ninafundisha baada ya miaka mingi. <\/p>\n\n

Je, huu ndio uwazi wa dhamiri uliokuwa ukiutafuta? Je, bado unachanganyikiwa na kinachotokea katika ulimwengu wetu? Je, swali kubwa bado ni: lini kifo, vurugu, vita, na damu ni vya kukubalika? Lini Nuru itaidhinisha chuki? Vurugu ni mzunguko wa ukatili; tutakuwa wapi katika miaka kumi, hata karne? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Vurugu vinajiandaa<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Karibu usiku wa manane Paulo na Sila walikuwa wakiomba na kuimba sifa kwa Mungu, wakati wafungwa wengine walisikiliza. Ghafla tetemeko kali la ardhi likatikisa gereza hadi misingi yake. Milango ilifunguka, na minyororo ilianguka kutoka kwa wafungwa wote. (Matendo 16:25\u201326 [CEV]). <\/p>\n\n

Nahisi kushtakiwa kwamba nimekuwa na uzoefu mwingine wa kiroho zaidi ya nyakati zile katika jeshi. Ninakumbuka kwa uwazi kumwona mke wangu na mwenzi wa maisha yangu akizaa wavulana wetu watatu na kuhisi aina ya furaha isiyoelezeka ambayo inafikia kiwango cha kusikia Utakatifu. Kwa kuzaliwa kwa mwana wetu wa kati, maumivu yake ya haraka yalisimama kwa siku nne wakati Maandamano ya Baltimore ya 2015 yalipofika kilele. Hakuwa tayari kwa vurugu katika ulimwengu huu, na bado, alitokea. Alizaliwa akiwa bado ndani ya mfuko wa kuzalia, akitafuta ulinzi. Hakujua kwamba nililazimika kupiga simu chini ya ukumbi kwa madaktari, ambao walikuwa wamechanganyikiwa na kinachotokea nje katika jiji. Tulimtoa hospitalini kuingia ulimwengu wa vurugu: Humvees zilizunguka mlango; walinzi walishikilia bunduki kubwa zaidi kuliko kawaida, angalau kwa nchi yetu; na harufu ya Baltimore ya Mashariki iliyochomwa iliendelea hewani. Yeye ndiye mpole zaidi wa wavulana wetu. <\/p>\n\n

Vurugu vinajiandaa kimya kimya<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Nina shida kukumbuka uzoefu mwingine wa kiroho kwa uwazi zaidi ya kuzaliwa kwa watoto wangu. Lakini kuna uzoefu mwingine mmoja ninaoukumbuka ambao uko nje ya maisha au kifo na ni wa kiroho kwa uwazi. Ulikuja na wimbo usio na maneno ambao hivi karibuni ulirudi maishani mwangu kama tetemeko la ardhi. <\/p>\n\n

Baada ya siku nyingine ngumu ya kufundisha na kuongoza katika shule huko Baltimore ya Mashariki (sehemu ya jiji ambayo imesahauliwa na kuachwa, na ambapo nilianza kazi yangu ya kufundisha kwa bidii na kukaa kwa miaka minane migumu), nililala chini kwenye sakafu ya chumba cha kulala cha watoto wangu huku chumba kikizunguka na moyo wangu ukipiga kwa kasi. Haikupotea kwangu kamwe kwamba ikiwa ulikuwa mwanaume Mweusi katika mtaa huu, ulikuwa na uwezekano mkubwa wa kuuawa katika mitaa yako mwenyewe kuliko katika mitaa ya Iraq wakati wa kilele cha vita hivyo. Athari za ukweli huo zilihisiwa na kuonekana, na wanafunzi hawangekuruhusu kusahau. Hukuweza kusahau kamwe: shule ilipiga kwa mateso na maumivu haya. <\/p>\n\n

Mapigano, visu, bunduki, fimbo za gofu, kupiga kelele, ubakaji, vilevyaji vya kutuliza na vya kuharibu, mama wanaojali wakimchukua mtoto wao chooni ili kufanya matarajio yao yahisiwe, hatua za kukimbizana, kufungwa ndani, kuvutwa kwenye ofisi ya nyuma mbali na tishio la mauaji, helikopta zikizunguka juu, kifuniko cha kalamu kilichonaswa kichwani mwa mtoto: damu\u2014jinsi gani hilo hata linatokea!<\/p>\n\n

Vurugu vinatawala<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

Shule hiyo hiyo ilikuwa kwenye ”orodha ya hatari ya kudumu” ya jimbo la Maryland muongo baada ya kuondoka kwangu: vurugu ni mzunguko wa ukatili. Majina ya wanafunzi wa awali walioauawa katika mitaa ya jiji langu hayana makumbusho makubwa au hadithi zinazolipa heshima kwa dhabihu yao. Walikuwa wavulana wazuri, wenye msukosuko. Nimeandika tu toleo la hali nzuri zaidi la hadithi hii hapo awali. <\/p>\n\n

Jinsi gani yote haya yanatokea?<\/p>\n\n

Huku chumba kikizunguka na moyo wangu ukipiga kwa kasi, nilisikia sauti ile ya kiroho kurudi na amri ya kuwa baba bora. Mahitaji ya kihisia ya kazi yaliacha kidogo sana cha mimi kwa wavulana wangu wawili (sasa watatu) wazuri, wenye msukosuko. Iliyokuwa ikichezwa chinichini ilikuwa ”On the Nature of Daylight,” kipande ambacho hakisahauliwi na hakisamehe kihisia wakati wa nyakati za majaribu; ni kutoka Max Richter’s The Blue Notebooks<\/em><\/a>, albamu ya kitaaluma ya kujitafakari ambayo mara nyingi inachezwa mara kwa mara katika nyumba yetu na ambayo ilisaidia kuleta faraja baada ya siku za kuchoka huko Baltimore ya Mashariki. Muziki huo unachezwa sasa ninapoandika. Masaa machache yaliyopita, ulizungumza kwa nguvu ya wazi ambayo iliifikia roho yangu. Sikuwahi kuusikia kwa sauti kubwa hivyo hapo awali. <\/p>\n\n

Kwa nini ninaandika hili wakati ulimwengu unawaka moto? Vita vya kimataifa vinafikia viwango ambavyo havijawahi kuonekana tangu Vita vya Pili vya Dunia, na vitahitaji ”watoto wangu.” Ujerumani na Japani wanajenga upya majeshi yao na watahitaji ”watoto wao.” Kwa nini ni lazima nitetee kupinga vita kwa dhamiri na kushawishi watu wazuri kuhusu uovu wa vita na vurugu? Je, wana haja ya kweli ya kuona miili yote iliyopondwa ya watoto kwa sababu shambulio halikuwa la upasuaji wa kutosha? Je, ”watoto wenu” watakuwa wakibonyeza ndoana, kutetea kitendo, au kusafisha uchafu? Vurugu vinajiandaa kimya kimya, vinajiandaa, na vinatawala: ni mara ngapi tunahitaji kusikia toleo sawa la kifo na vita ili kuelewa ukatili na ukosefu wa ubinadamu? <\/p>\n\n

Je, itasaidia ikiwa tungekiona, kunusa? Je, inanusa kama kuzaliwa, isipokuwa na michango ya sumu zaidi ya mwanadamu: jasho, kinyesi, damu, sehemu za mwili, milipuko, moto, moshi, sumu zinazosonga pumzi, mionzi inayowaka, mashine zinazopasua nyama, uharibifu. Haiwezi kusafishwa wala kusafishwa kama kuzaliwa; ni ya kuambukiza. Inaenea na vipande vinakwama kila mahali na katika kila kitu. Hata kusugua kwa upole kunatoa damu zaidi. Inaweka madoa na kuchafua viumbe vyote hai. Inaoza. <\/p>\n\n

Je, huu ndio uwazi wa dhamiri uliokuwa ukiutafuta? Je, bado unachanganyikiwa na kinachotokea katika ulimwengu wetu? Je, swali kubwa bado ni: lini kifo, vurugu, vita, na damu ni vya kukubalika? Lini Nuru itaidhinisha chuki? Vurugu ni mzunguko wa ukatili; tutakuwa wapi katika miaka kumi, hata karne? <\/p>\n\n

\n

Weka upanga wako. Yeyote anayeishi kwa kupigana atakufa kwa kupigana. (Mathayo 26:52 [CEV]). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Bado ninajaribu kuwa baba mzuri, mwalimu mzuri, na Quaker na Mkristo mzuri anayefuata Nuru kupambana na giza, na usiku wa leo, nilijifunza kitu cha kina kibinafsi na kuhisi kuachiliwa kwa mnyororo mwingine. Kuna wengi zaidi, baadhi ya kudumu duniani milele. Kutakuwa na mlango unaofunguka lakini hakuna kutoka gerezani bado. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Ombeni na mtapewa; tafuteni na mtapata; bisheni na mlango utafunguliwa kwenu. Kwa maana kila aombaye hupokea; atafutaye hupata; na abishaye, mlango utafunguliwa. (Mathayo 7:7\u20138, New International Version [NIV]). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Huu ndio wakati wa kuchukua hatari, kutafuta, kushindana, na kusimulia hadithi zetu ambazo hazijasemwa. Chunguza vyumba vile vya ndani kwa kujitolea, katika juhudi za kumaliza vita, vurugu, na mateso. Jionyeshe, au tutaendelea mbele katika giza. Zungumza kidogo kwa sauti kubwa zaidi; ongeza mwendo; fanya mwaliko, na washa Nuru iwake kwa mwangaza zaidi ili wote waone. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Wavulana wangu wakubwa na mimi tutakwenda kuona Max Richter akiigiza hapa Baltimore. Nilipochukua muda kujifunza zaidi kuhusu onyesho (na kuchukua mapumziko kutoka kwa raundi nyingine ya marekebisho kwenye ukurasa wa wavuti wa Mkutano wa Stony Run kuhusu kupinga vita kwa dhamiri<\/a>, kazi yenyewe ya kiroho iliyochochewa na wasiwasi wa Rafiki mchanga na ushawishi wa mzee mmoja, Rafiki na Mennonite wote wawili), nilijifunza kwamba The Blue Notebooks<\/em> na Max Richter, albamu ambayo iliambatana na sauti ile Takatifu karibu muongo uliopita na ambayo ilidai niwe baba bora, iliundwa kama albamu ya maandamano dhidi ya vita. Kwa miongo nimemsikiza Max Richter akiomboleza vita na vurugu bila kujua na sasa wavulana wangu na mimi tutapata kumsikiliza akiimba maombolezo yake kibinafsi wakati Nuru ya amani inawaka bila shaka tena ndani. Itakuwa jioni ya sifa za huzuni. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Kwa maana hatupigani dhidi ya nyama na damu, bali dhidi ya falme, dhidi ya mamlaka, dhidi ya watawala wa giza la zama hii, dhidi ya majeshi ya kiroho ya uovu katika mahali pa mbinguni. (Waefeso 6:12 [NKVJ]). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Wakati mwingine wengine wanaweza kuelewa kazi yetu na utambulisho kwa kusikia hadithi inayohitaji kusemwa. Katika diari zake, Franz Kafka, ambaye kazi yake ilifahamisha The Blue Notebooks<\/em> ya Richter, anaandika, ”Kila mtu anabeba chumba ndani yake. Ukweli huu unaweza hata kuthibitishwa kwa njia ya hisi ya kusikia.” Kuna vyumba ndani yetu sote ambavyo vinahitaji kuchunguzwa. <\/p>\n\n

Nuru imefichwa katika madroo, kabati, na vyumba vya kuhifadhia. Iliwekwa huko katika utoto na ujana kwa usalama, wakati mwingine kwa haraka ya hofu na kisha kusahauliwa. Zifungue zote. Nuru inayokata-kata itaangazia mahali pengine pa kujificha; zifungue sasa. Huu ndio wakati wa kuchukua hatari, kutafuta, kushindana, na kusimulia hadithi zetu ambazo hazijasemwa. Chunguza vyumba vile vya ndani kwa kujitolea, katika juhudi za kumaliza vita, vurugu, na mateso. Jionyeshe, au tutaendelea mbele katika giza. Zungumza kidogo kwa sauti kubwa zaidi; ongeza mwendo; fanya mwaliko, na washa Nuru iwake kwa mwangaza zaidi ili wote waone. <\/p>\n\n

\n

Wala watu hawawashi taa, na kuiweka chini ya pishi, bali juu ya kinara cha taa; nayo hutoa nuru kwa wote walio ndani ya nyumba. (Mathayo 5:15, King James Version [KJV]). <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Sote tuko katika nyumba moja, tukiharibiwa. Hebu tuhudumie sababu ya kuondoa vita kwa bidii sawa na kuondoa uovu wa utumwa. Ni lazima tuimbe maombolezo yetu pamoja, kwa pamoja kwa ajili ya watoto wetu, watoto wao, na watoto wote wa Mungu. Tunaweza kutoka nje pamoja tu. <\/p>\n\n
