class="dark-link perm_post"> kutembea hapa, blah blah - tena, mtoto, amevaa kaptula, ni katika majira ya joto, hana shati. Unaweza kuona kile anacho. Mtoto mwingine ameketi pale, akitazama hii. Na kuna kama 15, 17 polisi kuja karibu.</p><p> Na mwishowe, askari mmoja alikuja karibu nami na kusema, "Tatizo ni nini?" Nilisema, "Unatania? [ <em>anacheka</em> ] Tuko Chicago. Tuko katika wilaya ambayo Laquan alipigwa risasi. Nitakaa na kutazama, ili kuhakikisha kwamba hii si lazima iongezeke isivyo lazima, afisa. Sioni tishio hapa."</p><p> Lakini ukweli kwamba magari yangeweza tu kufikia hilo na kuhalalisha aina hiyo ya mvutano na uzoefu - nadhani nimepitia, katika toleo jepesi zaidi, la kutupwa kwenye gari la askari, kukamatwa kwa kufanya fujo katika Wilaya ya 8, muda mfupi uliopita, na maana yake - uzoefu usio wa kawaida, wa kudhalilisha utu na wa kukasirisha ulio nao wakati maafisa wamekumbwa na hatia moja kwa moja na kukutwa na hatia moja kwa moja mahakamani.</p><p> Lakini nadhani, katika nyakati hizo - Krista, na, nadhani swali la awali - katika akili yangu, ninasikia kuhusu ukweli wa uzoefu. Unajiwekaje karibu zaidi, karibu na maumivu? Na nadhani, kwenye flipside, ni jinsi gani sisi ambao tuna ukaribu wa maumivu hawapati hasira na kushindwa na kukata tamaa na wasiwasi juu ya uwezekano wa upatanisho? Na tena, nadhani kuna mbinu na zana za kiroho.</p><p> Kwangu, tena, katika mila ya Waislamu, hata hivyo, kukata tamaa ni kinyume sana. Kwa hakika, neno “kukata tamaa” — “balasa” ni mzizi wa neno la “kukata tamaa,” na, kimaadili, linaunganishwa moja kwa moja na neno “Iblis,” ambalo ni “Shetani.” Kwa hivyo wazo la giza na kukata tamaa na kushindwa kwa kutoweza kuona kila wakati - na mila ya Waislamu imejaa hadithi ambazo unapaswa kuwasilisha kwa Waislamu, hata katika muktadha wa kitu ambacho kinaonekana kuwa kisichoweza kusuluhishwa kama mzozo wa Palestina na Israeli, wa watu ambao walikuwa shingoni wakati wa Mtume Muhammad, watu ambao waliwaua watu wa familia yake, watu ambao walichinja kaka na dada wasio na hatia. Na kwa hivyo inaweza kusikika kama Kipollyanni mara kwa mara, kulingana na mahali unapotoka, lakini ni sehemu muhimu ya mila hiyo. Upatanisho ni sehemu ya mila. Na kama wewe ni mkweli na mkweli kuhusu hilo, inabidi ujitahidi kulielekea bado na usikate tamaa kwamba umefika mahali ambapo haiwezekani.</p><p> [ <em>Muziki: “Mtakatifu Rose wa Lima” na Mpango wa Mercury</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Mimi ni Krista Tippett, na hii ni <em>On Being</em> . Leo, nikiwa na Mchungaji Lucas Johnson wa Ushirika wa Kimataifa wa Maridhiano na Rami Nashashibi wa Inner-City Muslim Action Network ya Chicago.</p><p> [ <em>Muziki: “Mtakatifu Rose wa Lima” na Mpango wa Mercury</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Nataka kumaliza, kuzungumza juu ya mapenzi. Kwa kweli, hivi majuzi nilikuwa nikisoma hotuba ya King mwaka wa 1967, ambapo alisema, "Giza haliwezi kuzima giza, ni nuru pekee inayoweza kufanya hivyo. Na ninawaambia, nimeamua pia kushikamana na upendo, kwa maana najua kwamba upendo hatimaye ndilo jibu la pekee kwa matatizo ya wanadamu, na nitazungumza juu yake kila mahali ninapoenda. Najua sio maarufu sana kuzungumza juu yake - leo hii, wala yeye sio kuzungumza juu yake leo" kuhusu mhemko bosh ninapoongelea upendo wenye nguvu, unaodai, na nimeona chuki nyingi sana kwenye nyuso za masheha huko Kusini nimeona chuki kwenye nyuso za watu wengi wa Klans na Madiwani wengi wa Raia wa Kizungu kutaka kuchukia, mimi mwenyewe, kwa sababu kila wakati ninachokiona ni chuki kwa watu wao. mzigo mkubwa sana kuubeba.” Nilitaka - katika dakika chache zilizopita, ninahisi kama kufahamu "upendo wenye nguvu, unaohitaji" ni nini hadharani; pia ni kazi yetu.</p><p> Ninahisi, sisi, kitamaduni - tumeita chuki kati yetu. Tumeipa jina. Tunaita nje. Tumeunda kategoria za kisheria karibu nayo. Na hiyo inazua utata — sidhani kama ni ufunguzi na mwaliko tu, bali ni wajibu wa kuhoji mapenzi kwa njia sawa, ikiwa ana haki kwamba ndilo jambo pekee kubwa la kutosha kuondoa chuki. Na nadhani sote tunajua hii. Siwezi kuthibitisha hilo kisiasa au kisayansi - ni kweli. Tunaijua. Lakini bado, ni upendo gani huu wenye nguvu, unaodai? Sifa zake ni zipi, na tunaanzaje kuifanya iwe hivyo? Na ninahisi kama nyinyi wawili mnaishi hivi, kwa hivyo mmejifunza nini juu ya hii?</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>REV. JOHNSON:</b> Kama Muislamu, nahisi kama, ni zamu yako kuzungumza.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>MR. NASHASHIBI:</b> Oh, ni zamu yangu. Sawa, nitachukua hiyo. Nadhani ningefikiria juu yake kwa njia mbili na kujaribu kuwa mfupi nayo. Moja, labda kuendelea na Mfalme na kuendelea na maneno hayo ya mwisho ya Mfalme - na nilituma hii kwa waandaaji wetu wote, kwa sababu tunafanya mafunzo haya yote ya upangaji, na kila mtu hujitahidi kila wakati katika kuandaa mafunzo yetu, haswa katika jumuiya za kiroho, kwa neno "nguvu." Na tunazungumza, waandaaji wanahitaji kujenga nguvu isiyo na msamaha. Na huwezi kuchanganya mamlaka na "mafisadi wa mamlaka" na "nguvu kamili huharibu, kabisa." "Kwa nini tunataka mamlaka? Sisi ni watu wa kiroho" - hapana. Unahitaji nguvu. Nguvu - uwezo wa kutenda, kufanya mambo.</p><p> Na kinachovutia zaidi katika maandishi hayo ya mwisho ni, nafasi za Mfalme - mojawapo ya kutokuelewana kubwa zaidi, diametric, dichotomous ni kuunganisha upendo dhidi ya mamlaka. Na alichokuwa akisema ni kwamba, upendo wetu unahitaji kutusukuma kujenga nguvu, kujenga uwezo, uwezo wa kusonga ajenda inayotegemewa na maono bora ya ulimwengu. Kwa hivyo nadhani, kwa sehemu, wazo hilo la kuelezea - kwa sababu katika maandishi hayo hayo, anazungumza juu ya upendo bila nguvu kuwa ya hisia -</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Kweli, na kile tunachofanya kitamaduni, tunajua chuki ina nguvu. Tunaheshimu nguvu ya chuki. Lakini hatufikirii upendo kama - hatuweki vitu hivyo viwili pamoja kama nguvu - ingawa, katika maisha yetu, tunajua ni nguvu.</p><p> <b>MR. NASHASHIBI:</b> Na nadhani anaizungumzia kiutendaji katika muktadha huo wa kweli maana ya kujenga ajenda, miungano na ushirikiano wa kuendeleza harakati.</p><p> Kwa hivyo nadhani kuna hiyo, na nadhani mapenzi hadharani yanahusu, je, tunawapenda wale ambao wameathirika moja kwa moja, ikiwa ni pamoja na sisi wenyewe, kutosha kufanya aina ya dhabihu ya kujenga nguvu ya pamoja ili kubadilisha ukweli huo ulio chini? Nadhani hilo ni swali muhimu sana kwetu sote, sio tu zaidi, nadhani, maswala rahisi kuzungumzia, lakini baadhi ya seti ngumu zaidi ya maswala ya kijamii ambayo yanatuhusisha sisi sote kwa kiwango fulani au kingine.</p><p> Na nadhani kwamba pia, basi, inaunganishwa na kipengele kingine, kwangu, kuhusu upendo, ambacho ni cha kiroho, cha kutamani zaidi, nadhani, dhana ngumu zaidi ya kufikia ya upendo, ambayo - tena, nadhani kuhusu hadith, msemo wa kinabii, unaosema: [ <em>huongea Kiarabu</em> ]: "Uwe mbali na dunya, ukipenda, ulimwengu wa kidunia usiingie katika ulimwengu wa kiroho. kupatana na ukweli na kuelewa kwamba sote tutakutana na muumba wetu na kwamba ulimwengu huu ni wa muda tu na kwamba, ikiwa umekita mizizi katika ufahamu huo, utapata upendo wa kimungu.” Na kwamba ikiwa uko, pia - sehemu ya pili ya hiyo ni: "Na uwe mbali na kujaribu tu kwenda na mali za watu." Kwa maneno mengine, ikiwa wewe ni mkweli - ikiwa kuwepo kwako sio tu kuhusu ushindani wa mali na wengine na hiyo inaonekanaje katika muktadha wetu wa uhalisia wetu wa kisasa, kuweza kusema kwamba hatumo humo kwa ajili ya kura tu; hatuko ndani yake kwa manufaa fulani tu - kujitolea kwa kweli kwa watu. Ikiwa uko mbali na kutamani tu mali za watu, utapata upendo wa watu.</p><p> Na, nadhani - tuna neno hili moja. Kila asubuhi, tunakuja, na tuna vijana hawa wenye umri wa miaka 18 hadi 25, raia wanaorudi, na sisi sote tunakusanyika, na ni karibu 35 kati yetu, na sisi daima tunasema, "Angalia, tunataka jambo moja tu kutoka kwako, jambo moja" - na wote wanajua hili sasa; wanasema - "mafanikio yako katika maisha haya na mafanikio yako ya kiroho kama mtu anayetarajia kitu kikubwa zaidi." Na muktadha wa mapenzi - ni wa maana sana kuona watu - tunazungumza sana, kati ya wavulana ambao wamekasirishwa na nguvu hii ya kiume yenye sumu - kuweza kusema "Nakupenda."</p><p> Na nini hasa - siku nyingine, nilikuwa kwenye benki, na mmoja wa wale ndugu vijana aliniona nilipokuwa nikitoka. Tulikuwa tukisumbuana naye, naye ni kama, akisema, “Nyusha inyeshe, Rami, inyeshe mvua.” Tunaenda nje ya benki. Na kisha - huyu ni mtoto niliyemjua kutoka kwa jirani kwa miaka mingi, bila chochote isipokuwa kwamba, tu, kuangalia kwa bidii. Alinitazama nilipokuwa nikiondoka, na akasema, "Mwanaume, nakupenda, jamani." Nami nikamtazama. Nikasema, “Lo, sikuwahi kufikiria nilikusikia ukisema hivyo.” Akasema, “Najua, jamani.”</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Na kwangu, hiyo ilikuwa wakati huo tu, kwamba "wow." Na watu hao, mimi huingia ndani, na wao ni kama, "Tunasema 'nakupenda' wakati wote sasa hapa. Ninaweza kusema hivyo, na ninamaanisha." Na nadhani, kama corny kama hiyo inaweza kusikika wakati mwingine, ni nguvu kuona kwamba nguvu kwamba animates kazi, kwa ajili yangu, ni kuamini. Upendo huo ni wa kweli, kwamba ni wa kweli, na ni sehemu ya kile kinachoendesha, nadhani, hisia ya ukweli katika suala la uhusiano.</p><p> <b>REV. JOHNSON:</b> Kwa hiyo sikupaswa kukuuliza utangulie.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> Hapana, lakini nakumbuka hadithi hii. Kwa hivyo ndani ya Ushirika wa Upatanisho, kumekuwa na hii - uliirejelea hapo awali. Lugha ya kutokuwa na jeuri haikuwepo, kwa hiyo ilianza kama vuguvugu hili la watu wanaokataa utumishi wa kijeshi kwa sababu ya dhamiri, la watu waliosema kwamba “Imani yetu haitaturuhusu kuua mtu mwingine; hatuwezi kushiriki katika vita.” Lakini waliendelea kujaribu kujua ni nini inaonekana. Na walizungumza juu ya upendo kwa vitendo. Na hivyo basi wakati viongozi wa awali wa FOR walipokwenda India na kukutana na Gandhi na walikuwa wakijaribu kujaribu mbinu hizi za Wagandhi katika mapambano ya haki ya rangi nchini Marekani. Kulikuwa na mjadala huu ambao ulifanyika ndani ya shirika karibu 1946, kabla ya Safari ya Maridhiano, ya kwanza ya Safari za Uhuru. Na mjadala ulikuwa ikiwa au la, kwa kutumia mbinu hizi, kwa kuchukua basi iliyounganishwa, kusini - ikiwa kufanya hivyo kungechochea watu wa Kusini kwenye vurugu na, kwa hiyo, kuwaalika watu wa Kusini kwenye uharibifu wa maadili. Kwa maneno mengine, je, ilikuwa kweli kwa usadikisho wetu ikiwa tulifanya jambo lenye kuchochea katika maana hiyo?</p><p> Na jibu, kutoka kwa AJ Muste na Bayard Rustin na wengine, lilikuwa: Hapana; tunachofanya ni kwamba, tunawaalika watu wa Kusini kujibu, wagawanyiko kwenye majibu, na tunawashikilia kioo. Na hilo ndilo jambo la upendo zaidi unaloweza kufanya, kukabiliana na watu na sura ya wao kuwa jinsi walivyofanya vitendo hivi vya vurugu. Na ilikuwa na mwelekeo wa kutaka watu waweze kuwa watu ambao wanaamini wao wenyewe kuwa.</p><p> Na hilo ni jambo la upendo sana, na nadhani, kwangu, moja ya mambo magumu, kwa sababu tuna utamaduni ambao una mwelekeo wa kuadhibu na hatua za kuadhibu, na tunataka kuwaadhibu watu kwa yale ambayo wamefanya. Hatuzungumzi juu ya ukweli kwamba hakuna hata mmoja wetu aliyezaliwa na tamaa hii ya kuwa mbaya. Labda hilo ni dai la kitheolojia ambalo huenda tukalazimika kulijadili, lakini siamini hivyo.</p><p> Na nadhani kwamba nguvu ya upendo - na ni ya ndani - wakati mwingine kwa AJ Muste ilikuwa, alikuwa akiandamana kwenye mstari wa picket, na mwandishi wa habari akamjia na kusema, "Bwana Muste, unaamini kwamba maandamano yako yatabadilisha nchi?" Naye akajibu kwa kusema, "Kijana, ninafanya maandamano ili nchi yangu isinibadilishe." Na kwa hivyo nadhani kuna mahali hapa ambapo tuna jukumu la kushikilia nguvu ya upendo ambayo tunajua kuwa ya kweli na kutoruhusu ulimwengu unaotuzunguka kufisha hilo ndani yetu wenyewe. Na nadhani inavutia sana. Na kutoruhusu hilo kufa ndani yetu ni sehemu ya kile kinachotuwezesha kuwashirikisha wengine kwa njia hiyo, lakini ni mapambano.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Hapo ndipo ninahisi, hata hivyo, kwamba - labda hili ni jambo langu - nguvu ya maneno tunayotumia na kutaja vitu hivi "upendo." Ikiwa watu wanahisi kama, "Loo, kwa hivyo ni lazima niwe mwanaharakati?" - hiyo ni shida. Lakini "Je, mimi ni mpenzi? Je, ninaipenda dunia? Ninawapenda watoto wangu? Ninajua kwamba watu wengine wanapenda watoto wao; na kile ninachotaka kwa watoto wangu "- sawa? Kwa hivyo kwangu, hiyo inahisi nguvu.</p><p> Nashangaa kama, Lucas, hili ni jambo ambalo umesema kuhusu Vincent Harding, na nilijiuliza kama labda, kulimaliza - nyinyi ni wazuri sana, na ninachofurahishwa nacho ni kwamba uko nje unafanya kile unachofanya, na kila mtu humu ndani anafanya kile anachofanya, na sote tuko kwenye mazungumzo. Hii ni kazi inayoendelea ambayo tunapitia na kushiriki.</p><p> Kwa hiyo unaweza kuisoma? Imezimia.</p><p> <b>REV. JOHNSON:</b> Subiri, hivi ndivyo nilivyoandika kuhusu mjomba Vincent.</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Ndio. Unaweza -</p><p> [ <em>kicheko</em> ]</p><p> <b>REV. JOHNSON:</b> Mwanzoni, nilifikiri ulikuwa unasema kwamba aliandika.</p><p> <b>MS. TIPPETT:</b> Hapana, uliandika. Unaweza pia kusema kwa maneno yako mwenyewe, ya sasa.</p><p> <b>REV. JOHNSON:</b> Hapana; hii ilikuwa kweli kwa Vincent Harding, ambaye alikuwa mshauri na rafiki mpendwa na ambaye ninamkumbuka. "Aliweza kutuona, kila mmoja wetu ambaye alikutana naye. Hakuona sura zetu wenyewe, wala ahadi zetu za kiitikadi zilikuwa zimetufanya nini, au hofu yetu ilikuwa imetudanganya kuwa. Aliweza kuona ndani yetu sisi ambao tumekusudiwa kuwa: wanadamu kamili zaidi. Na alitumia zawadi yake ya kuona ili kutusaidia kujiona wenyewe na kila mmoja wetu."</p><p> <b>MS.
