Umama akasaboni futhi awusaboni ukungcola phansi ekhishini. Esimweni sakho lokho kukuzuzisa ngoba kukuvumela ukuthi uphumule futhi ungakhathazeki ngazo zonke izingcezu zothuli.
Uthando lunomphumela ofanayo wokuphuphuthekisa nowusizo. Kusivumela ukuba siphumule futhi kusenza singaboni amaphutha nokungapheleli kwabanye. Lapho sinquma ukuthanda, singayeka ukwahlulela abantu kunalokho sazise ubuhle babo. Labo abanothando banjengabazali emhlabeni noma kungaba ngcono ukusho njengogogo nomkhulu, ngoba ogogo nomkhulu bathambekele ekugxekeni. Okudingwa umhlaba yibutho logogo nomkhulu abanothando abazobuyisa ukuzethemba kumuntu ngamunye.
Yini esizohamba nayo ohambweni lwethu lokugcina? Kusobala ukuthi azinakuba yizinto ezibonakalayo. Njengoba nje izinkampani zezindiza zibeka umkhawulo esisindweni semithwalo kanti nesiqu semoto sinamandla alinganiselwe, nasesibhakabhakeni kukhona nendawo enomkhawulo. Kepha uthando alunesisindo noma aluthathi sikhala.
Uthando alufi futhi akunqunyelwe ngokuba khona komzimba wenyama. Lapho umzimba unyamalala, uthando lwethu luhamba nathi nomaphi lapho umoya wethu, umphefumulo nemicabango yethu kuya khona, kepha futhi kuhlala ezimpilweni zalabo esibathandile. Uthando lungamandla futhi alunqunyelwe yimithetho elawula izinto ezibonakalayo noma isikhathi. Ngakho-ke ungahamba nayo futhi, ngasikhathi sinye, uyishiye.
Uthando luyi ibhuloho phakathi komhlaba wabaphilayo nezwe labafileyo.
