Konke kwaqala ngokubuka okulula. Ngesikhathi semiboniso yomkhiqizo, imibukiso, kanye nezingxoxo ze-WhatsApp zasebusuku, amakhasimende ayelokhu ecela imininingwane efanayo—ukuthinta okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Mhlawumbe umphetho oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, indlela eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, noma ukukhanya okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okuthambile “ukwenza umoya uphole.” Ekuqaleni, sahleka, sicabanga ukuthi kwakuyinto eyenzekile nje. Kodwa izicelo zaqhubeka, zizinzile futhi ziqhubeka, ezivela kubanikazi bezitolo, kubanikazi bezindlu, kubaklami, ngisho nakonjiniyela.
Ngolunye usuku ntambama egumbini lokuklama, othile wahleka, “Njengoba wonke umuntu ethanda kakhulu okuluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka, kungani singakhi isibani esikugubhayo?”
Lelo hlaya lavusa ubuhlakani. Ubuhlakani baphenduka imidwebo. Imidwebo yakhula yaba yizibonelo. Futhi ngokushesha, sazithola siphethe isibani esasizizwa sihlukile kunoma yini esasiyenzile ngaphambili.
Phakathi nendawo, sibeke i-LED ehlanzekile, ene-CCT eyodwa, eqinisekisa ukukhanya okuzinzile nokusebenzayo. Kodwa nxazonke, sengeze indandatho eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka—ethambile, ebukekayo, futhi enomoya. Ayinamandla, ayikhazimuli, kodwa uhlobo oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka oluphumuzayo ngokushesha futhi lunezela isici endaweni.
Lapho sihlola isibani namakhasimende, ukusabela kwawo kwakungcono kakhulu kunalokho esasikucabanga. Abanye bamomotheka bathi, “Yebo, lolu uhlobo oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka engangilufuna.” Abanye bamane bahlebela bathi, “Kuhle.” Omunye umlingani wesikhathi eside wasitshela ukuthi, “Kuzwakala sengathi kukhanya ngobuntu.”
Futhi yilapho esaqaphela khona okuthile okubalulekile: ukukhanya akukhona nje kuphela ngokukhanya. Kumayelana nokuzizwa. Lesi sibani sesitayela se-halo siguqula ukukhetha okulula kube yinto ethinta imizwa—ukufudumala, ukuzola, kanye noluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka okujabulisayo.
Lokho okwaqala njengomkhuba omncane phakathi kwamakhasimende kwaba umkhiqizo onendaba yawo. Manje, lesi sibani se-blue-halo sesilungele ukuletha ukuthinta kobuntu noma ngabe sikhanya kuphi.
