Ek gebruik altyd The Good Book<\/span>, soos ons Kanadese vriend die Bybel genoem het, as kompas om morele ho\u00eb grond te handhaaf. Ek weet mense sonder Bybelse riglyne kan dit ook doen en weliswaar so maak. Hoewel ons vertrekpunt nie dieselfde is nie, is die uitkoms dieselfde, want mense word gebore met \u2019n begrip van reg en verkeerd. Deur wie en wat en hoe en wanneer dit in \u2019n mens geplaas word, sal ek nie \u2019n opinie lug nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daar is \u2019n legio argumente deur verskillende groepe en denkers daarvoor en daarteen. Dikwels word allerhande redes, oorsake en vingerwysings gebruik in die moderne w\u00eareld se siening wanneer immoraliteit bespreek en bepraat word. Meermale is die uiteindelike gevolgtrekking dat die immorele oortreder in \u2019n wattetjie toegedraai word met \u2019n \u2018foeitog, daar was goeie rede\u2019 vir die optrede, selfs sou dit absolute barbarisme wees \u2013 ongelooflike verskonings deur diegene wat allerhande redes soek om verkeerd reg te laat voorkom. Oor die verskoningsoekers: ek wonder in wie se goeie boekies moet hulle wees? Of is dit dalk net skynheiligheid?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aangesien, volgens The Good Book<\/i>, daar niks nuuts onder die son is nie, is die onderwerp van moraliteit eeue gelede ook onder die loep geneem. Onder die agtiende eeuse filosowe was William Kant die bekendste en sy oortuiging, wat deur ander onderskryf is, was dat alle mense weet wat reg en verkeerd is en elkeen besluit hoe hy daarmee maak. Ek is seker toe reeds het die gewone mense wat hul verstand gebruik het, dit hoeka geweet. Die \u201choog geleerdes\u201d, soos skoonpa ges\u00ea het, of \u201cdi\u00e9 wat baie letters gevreet het\u201d, volgens my onderwyseres-skoonma, moes eers navorsing daaroor doen en filosofiese handboeke skryf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vir my is die duidelike antwoord op die vraag weer eens Bybels, want \u201csoos wat die mens in sy siel bereken, so is hy\u201d. Of, volgens sielkundiges: \u201cJy is wat jy dink\u201d. En dan die een wat die Taal van die Veroweraar so perfek s\u00ea: \u201cWe live by our choices.\u201d Niemand van ons leef net vanself en alles gebeur sommer net nie \u2013 hoewel dit so lyk wanneer ek na die geklikheid rondom my kyk. Omdat ons nie alleen op \u2019n eiland lewe nie, is verantwoordelike keuses belangrik. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanneer ek sien hoe mense lewe en wat hulle doen en s\u00ea en hul reaksie op iets wat gebeur, lyk dit asof hulle nie besef ons ingesteldheid teenoor die lewe sal altyd in ons optrede wys nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit word altyd gedryf deur \u2019n besluit en besluite maak altyd rimpelings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dis soos daai klippie wat ons in die water gooi. Die uitwerking van die rimpelings hang af van die grootte van die klip. Daarom behoort ons keuses nie selfsugtig of selfgesentreerd te wees nie. Dis nie net in belang van ons eie menswees nie, maar ook belangrik vir harmonie in ons verhoudings. Sommige besluite kan \u2019n hele gemeenskap raak en selfs baie wyer uitkring, afhangende watter posisie jy beklee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al daaroor gedink: Voordat jy in die oggend jou voet uit die bed sit, het jy \u00f3f hardop of in jou gedagte \u00f3f in jou gesindheid, \u00f3f deur jou laaste gedagte voordat jy aan die slaap geraak het, onbewustelik reeds bepaal hoedat die dag gaan wees? Is die eerste gedagte dankbaarheid, is alles ineens makliker \u2013 dankbaar veral oor die dinge wat ons as vanselfsprekend aanvaar: Oor gesondheid, loop, sien, praat, hoor, ruik. proe, eet, sluk, ensovoorts; \u2019n veilige nagrus met \u2019n eie dak oor jou kop; dat jy werk het, al hou jy nie van die werk of jou baas nie; dankbaar vir \u2019n motor, al is dit nie die nuutste model nie; vir kos, al is dit nie by Woolworths gekoop nie; en klere, al is dit nie boetiek-uitrustings nie. Hoe jy jou dag begin, is \u2019n bewustelike keuse wat jy maak en dit sal altyd subtiel die verloop van die hele dag bepaal, met al die lekker en sleg wat oor jou pad kom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ek kyk na my geskrewe slimmighede hierbo en kan nie anders as besluit dat Suid-Afrika se ondergang n\u00e1 1994 tydsaam bewerkstellig is deur ondeurdagte, selfsugtige, selfgerigte, selfgeldende besluite wat soms w\u00eareldwyd uitkring en weerklank vind nie. Die beste beskrywing in di\u00e9 verband is Frank Opperman se befaamde woorde in een van sy TV- reekse. \u201cMense wat dink hulle is donners smart<\/i> is nie altyd so donners smart<\/span> nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ekskuus vir daai glip van die tong. Het mos besluit om nie weer \u2019n swetswoord te gebruik wanneer ek die negatiewe gevolge van die meeste besluite in die nuus sien nie. Ek kan nie anders as om te dink dat moordenaars, aanranders, kapers, diewe en geldwas\u00adsers buite en binne die regeringskringe moes besluit het dit te doen nie? Want hoe anders? Of is dit \u2019n duister, onsigbare mag wat volle beheer uitoe\u00adfen oor hul lewe? Indien so, mag daar, vir ons \u00e1lmal se beswil, duisende op\u00adskiet wat vanuit die onsigbare Lig besluite neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
