Isizungu ekugugeni akusona isihloko esilula. Abantu abadala nabo bangathola ubungane ezifuyweni zabo. Kodwa obani abantu abadala abazizwa benesizungu esincane nobani: inja noma ikati?
Ucwaningo oluhlukahlukene manje selubonise lokho abanikazi abaningi abakwaziyo isikhathi eside: Izilwane ezifuywayo zilungele thina. Isibonelo, izinja zingathinta kahle isikhathi sethu sokuphila. Abangane bethu abanemilenze emine nabo bangabathuthukisi beqiniso bengqondo yethu: basenza sizizwe singaphansi kwengcindezi futhi sijabule.
Konke lokhu kuyimiphumela emihle enenzuzo kubantu babo bonke ubudala. Abanikazi bezilwane ezifuywayo abaningi babika, ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi sobhubhane, ukuthi amakati nezinja zabo zibasiza kangakanani. Ngeshwa, njengeqembu eliyingozi, yibo asebekhulile abahlushwa ukuhlukaniswa kanye nemiphumela yako yengqondo.
Izilwane ezifuywayo zingabasiza kanjani abantu asebekhulile ukuba babhekane nesizungu, futhi yiziphi ezisilungele ngokukhethekile? Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo uStanley Coren sazibuza lo mbuzo. Uthole impendulo ocwaningweni lwakamuva lwaseJapane, olwaluhilela abantu abacishe babe yinkulungwane phakathi kweminyaka engu-1,000 nengu-65 ubudala. Abacwaningi babefuna ukuthola ukuthi ingabe asebethathe umhlalaphansi abanenja noma ikati bangcono yini ngokwengqondo kunalabo abangenazo izilwane ezifuywayo.
Lesi Sifuywayo Silungele Asebethathe Umhlalaphansi
Kulokhu, isimo sezempilo esijwayelekile kanye nezinga lokuhlukaniswa nomphakathi kwaphenywa kusetshenziswa imibuzo emibili. Umphumela: abantu abadala abanezinja bangcono. Abantu asebathatha umhlalaphansi abangabodwana emphakathini abangenabo futhi abangakaze babe nenja kungenzeka kakhulu babe nemiphumela emibi engokwengqondo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ocwaningweni, abanikazi bezinja babenengxenye kuphela yokuba nesimo sengqondo esibi.
Kungakhathaliseki ubudala, ubulili, imali engenayo, nezinye izimo zokuphila, abanikazi bezinja bangcono ngokwengqondo ekubhekaneni nokuhlukaniswa nomphakathi. Ososayensi abakwazanga ukuthola umphumela ofanayo kumakati.
Ngamanye amazwi, amakati nezinja ngokuqinisekile zinezinzuzo zazo siqu. Kodwa uma kuziwa endabeni yesizungu, izinja zingaba ikhambi elingcono kakhulu.
