Babaliwe!

Ukubalwa kwabantu kumayelana ABANTU, futhi nami ngingabantu. Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu bayathakazelisa. Ngiyathanda ukubuka zonke izinhlobo zabantu. Isikhathi engizilibazisa ngaso engisithandayo ukubuka abantu. Abantu baziphatha ngezindlela ezithakazelisayo. Abantu beza ngezinhlobo eziningi ezahlukene, futhi wonke umuntu uhlukile futhi ukhethekile kubo.

Ukubalwa kwabantu kuyangijabulisa ngoba kumayelana nabantu. Kodwa, kumayelana ukubala abantu, ngakho-ke akuyona into yami impela. Kodwa, ukubalwa kwabantu kubaluleke kakhulu! Inquma inombolo yethu yezikhulu ezikhethiwe kuKhongolose. Inquma ukwabiwa kwezimali zikahulumeni kuyo yonke into kusukela ekulungisweni kwemigodi ukuya ezinsizeni zezindlu. Futhi, kwenza YONKE indaba YOMUNTU, futhi ngokubaluleka, kube neqhaza ekuqoqeni kobuhle bezwe. Ngiyathokoza ngalezi zinto, kodwa futhi ziwumfanekiso womsebenzi esiwenzayo ekuxoxisaneni nomphakathi. Isamba sezingxenye sikhulu kunezingxenye ngazinye zodwa, futhi ngokubambisana, singenza okuningi kakhulu!

Ikakhulukazi, ukubalwa kwabantu kungikhumbuza umuntu oyedwa—u-Virgil G. “Wayengumbhali” ekubalwa kwabantu ngo-1980, okusho ukuthi wayengena umuzi nomuzi eyolanda izimpendulo kubantu ababebambezelekile ekugcwaliseni amafomu (ephepheni, ezinsukwini zakudala Manje ungakwenza online!). UVirgil wayengumlingiswa kusukela ekuqaleni. Wayenephimbo elijulile lase-Alabama (“Al-A-Bam-Ma” eliphinyiselwa ngamagama amane ahlukene) futhi nakuba ayesehlale e-Aurora iminyaka eminingi, wangitshela ukuthi akafuni neze ukuyeka ukuphimisela kwakhe ngoba wayengafuni ukuba yikho. lapha kuqala. Umyeni wakhe wezempi wamletha lapha, kodwa inhliziyo yakhe yahlala e-Al-A-Bam-A.

Sahlangana senza umsebenzi wakwamakhelwane, cabanga nje! “Wayengunogada omdala” futhi babefuna “izingane ezintsha” zihileleke, kodwa abakwazanga ukuthola kahle ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini. “Ngangiyingane entsha” futhi ngangazi kahle ukuthi izindawo ezihlala enyakatho ye-Aurora zidingani, ngacabanga. I-NANO, i-North Aurora Neighborhood Association, ibiyiNgqonyela yezombangazwe zedolobha, futhi noma yini eyayifunwa yi-NANO, sasiyithola.

UVirgil wayengumkhulumeli, futhi uVirgil wayazi ukuthi ufunani, naye. Wayefuna udoti ususwe e-Colfax. Wayefuna imigqomo egaywe kabusha yonke indawo, ehlonipha indodana yakhe. Angizange ngiqonde ngokugcwele ukuthi wafa kanjani noma ukuthi ukugaywa kabusha kwaba kanjani isikhumbuzo salo mama owayenenhliziyo ephukile, kodwa ngisakhuthaza ukugaywa kabusha ngenxa nje yakhe.

Wayefuna udoti emihubheni. Kwakuyi-nugget esavumelana ngayo, unogada omdala kanye nezingane ezintsha ebhulokhini. Imigqomo kadoti echichimayo. Ayikho imigqomo kadoti. Izinto zinkulu kakhulu emigqonyeni kadoti. Konke. Besifuna kuhambe konke. Sisebenzisa izwi lenhlangano ye-powerhouse, sagasela ehholo ledolobha ngohlelo lokugubha uSuku Lomhlaba ngosuku lokususa udoti endaweni. Sithole umshini wokuthutha udoti wangasese ukuze sinikele ngamaloli nabashayeli. Sathola amavolontiya azogibela amaloli azothutha udoti. Saba nombukiso ongokoqobo nomakhelwane abadala nabancane ababelenga ngemuva emalolini njengoba egxuma emigodini nasezindongeni, ema ukuze alande amathani kadoti futhi agubhe iveni ngalinye njengegugu lezinto ezitholakele! Sisebenze ngoMgqibelo kusukela ngo-8 AM kuze kube semini futhi sagubha ngokudla okumnandi kwangempela, ngamabhodwe namapani namakhekhe nezitshulu ezimele abapheki abahamba phambili kuyo yonke indawo. Wonke amagumbi omhlaba ayemelwe! Yum!!

Ngakho uma sekufika ekubalweni kwabantu, uVirgil wayazi wonke umuntu. Kuyavunywa, wayebazi ngokubuka umhubhe hhayi eminyango yangaphambili, kodwa noma kunjalo, wayebazi bonke! Futhi kuleso siphimiso se-Al-A-Bam-Ma, waqinisekisa umakhelwane ngamunye enyakatho ye-Aurora ukuthi athembe isibalo sokubalwa kwabantu, futhi amsize athole izinombolo ezinembile.

Futhi ngizimisele ukubheja lokho ukubala okungcono kakhulu nokubala kwasenyakatho kwe-Aurora esake saba nakho! UVirgil washona kudala, kuyadabukisa ukusho. Umoya wakhe uhlala kuwo wonke umuntu oqeda ukubala futhi abalwe. Njengoba wayevame ukuthi "Konke-konke kudingeka usukume futhi abalwe ukuze uthole lokho okufunayo!"

Kwakungaleso sikhathi, futhi yilokhu manje, kodwa amazwi akhe ayiqiniso kungakhathaleki. Sukuma ubalwe! Gcwalisa amafomu akho okubalwa ku-inthanethi noma mathupha nanoma yini esebenzayo, kodwa sicela usukume futhi ubale!

Ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nokubalwa kwabantu noma ukuthatha, sicela uvakashele 2020census.gov.
