Moʻuí—ʻOku Mahuʻinga pe Maʻamaʻa?

“Koeʻuhi ʻoku ngaohi ʻa e tangatá ʻi he ʻīmisi ʻo e ʻOtuá, tā ko hono toʻo ʻa e moʻui ʻa e tangatá ko e fakaʻauha ia ʻo e meʻa mahuʻinga taha mo toputapu taha ʻi he māmaní.”—The Plain Man’s Guide to Ethics, tohi ʻe William Barclay.

‘KO E meʻa mahuʻinga taha ʻi he māmaní.’ ʻOkú ke maʻu ʻa e vakai pehē ki he moʻuí? Mei he anga ʻo e tōʻonga ʻa e kakaí, ʻoku hā mahino mei ai ʻoku ʻikai loto-tatau ʻa e tokolahi mo e tokotaha-tohi ko ʻení. ʻOku laui miliona ʻa e ngaahi moʻui kuo tāmateʻi anga-fakamamahi ʻe he kakai anga-fakamālohi naʻa nau tuli ki he ngaahi taumuʻa siokita taʻeʻiai ha fakakaukau ʻe taha ki he lelei ʻa honau kaungā faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.—Koheleti 8:9.

Ala Fakamoleki mo Ala Fakaʻauha

Ko e Tau I ʻa Māmaní ko ha fakatātā maheni ia. Naʻe toutou hoko lolotonga ʻa e fepaki fakalilifu ko iá, “ʻa hono feilaulauʻi noa pē ʻo e ngaahi sino ʻo e tangatá,” ko e lau ia ʻa e faihisitōlia ko A.J.P. Taylor. ʻI he tuli ki he ngeiá mo e lāngilangí, naʻe ngāueʻaki ai ʻe he kau taki taú ʻa e kau sōtiá ʻo hangē naʻe ʻikai hanau mahuʻingá pea ala fakamoleki fakaʻaufulí. ʻI he tau ʻuluakí ʻi Falanisē, naʻe laka hake ʻi he vaeua milioná ʻa e kau maté mo e kafó. “Naʻe ʻikai ha pale [ʻo ha faʻahinga mahuʻinga ne fiemaʻu ki he taú] ke maʻu mai pe fakamoleki,” ko e tohi ia ʻa Taylor, “ko e tangatá pē ke tāmateʻi pea ke ikuʻi mai ai ʻa e lāngilangí.”—The First World War.

Ko e paetaku pehē ki he mahuʻinga ʻo e moʻuí ʻoku kei mafolalahia ia. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he mataotao ko Kevin Bales ʻo pehē ʻi he ngaahi taimi ki muí ni maí, ko ha “tupulekina fakafokifā ʻa e tokolahi ʻo e kakaí [kuo] fakafonu ai ʻa e ngaahi māketi ngāue leipa ʻa e māmaní ʻaki ʻa e kakai masiva mo laveangofua ʻe laui miliona.” ʻOku nau fehangahangai mo ha fāinga ʻi he kotoa ʻo e moʻuí koeʻuhi pē ke hao mei ha sisitemi fakakomēsiale fakafeʻātungia ʻa ia “ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e moʻuí ko ha meʻa maʻamaʻa.” Ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki kinautolú, ʻoku pehē ʻe Bales, ʻoku nau ʻai kinautolu ʻo hangē pē ha kau pōpulá—“ko e ngaahi meʻangāue ala fakamoleki fakaʻaufuli ki he fakatupu paʻangá.”​—Disposable People.

“Kai Matangi”

ʻOku ʻi ai mo e toe ngaahi ʻuhinga lahi kehe ʻoku ongoʻi ai ʻe he laui miliona ʻo e kakaí ʻoku nau taʻemahuʻinga mo faingatāmaki fakaʻaufuli—ʻo ʻikai ha taha ʻe tokanga moʻoni mai pe te nau moʻui pe mate. Tuku kehe ʻa e taú mo e fakamaau taʻetotonú, ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi fakaʻauha ʻa e laʻalaʻaá, hongé, mahakí, mamahí, mo e ngaahi meʻa kehe taʻefaʻalaua ʻoku uesia ai ʻa e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ʻo ʻai ai ʻa e kakaí ke nau fifili pe ʻoku ʻi ai ha mahuʻinga ʻe taha ke kei hoko atu ai ʻa e moʻuí.—Koheleti 1:​8, 14.

Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai ke fehangahangai ʻa e tokotaha kotoa mo ha moʻui masiva mo e mamahi lahi fau. Ka naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau hao mei he tuʻunga kovi taha ʻo e fakafeʻātungiá kuo nau faʻa fakaongo mai ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Tuʻi Solomone ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá, ʻa ia naʻá ne ʻeke: “Ko e ha ʻoku maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻi heʻene kikivi kotoa, mo e ngaoʻi ʻa hono loto ʻa ia kuo ne fakaongosia ai ʻi he lalo laʻa?” ʻI he fakakaukau atu ki he meʻa ko iá, ʻoku hoko ai ʻo fakatokangaʻi ʻe he tokolahi ko e konga lahi ʻo e meʻa naʻa nau faí ʻoku iku pē ko e “muna mo ia foki, mo e kai matangi.”—Koheleti 2:​22, 26.

“Ko hono kotoá pē ia?” ko e fehuʻi ia ʻa e tokolahi ʻi heʻenau sio atu ki mui ki heʻenau moʻuí. ʻIo, ko e toko fiha ʻoku nau ʻosiki ʻenau moʻuí mo e ongoʻi moʻoni ʻo e “fiemālie ʻi hono ngaahi ʻahó,” ʻo hangē ko e pēteliake ko ʻĒpalahamé? (Senesi 25:​8NW, fakamatala ʻi laló) ʻOku maʻu ʻe he tokolahi ha ongoʻi tuʻumaʻu ʻo e koto laufanō. Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ke hoko ʻa e moʻuí ko e koto laufanō. ʻOku vakai ʻa e ʻOtuá ia ki he moʻui fakaetangata kotoa pē ʻoku mahuʻinga pea finangalo mai ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kitautolu ke moʻui ʻi ha moʻui ʻoku fonu moʻoni ʻi he fiemālie. ʻE hoko fēfē ia?
