Katika jamii tunayoishi, tuko katika dimbwi la kuvurugana kwa maneno na kejeli. Mivurugano hii huweza kusababisha kutofautiana kwa njia moja au nyingine. Mara nyingi, tofauti ya kipato ama maisha kati ya mtu na mtu, ndivyo huwa vyanzo vikuu vya kuvurugana ama kuleteana chuki.
Binadamu tuna tabia ya kusahau. Wengi husahau kuwa kuna Mungu ambaye humpangia kila mtu riziki yake kwa nyakati na majira yake. Kusahau huko kunatufanya tuwe tunatetana sms tunasemana vibaya. Hatuishii kutetana tu, tunatafutana kwa maneno ya kejeli na hata kumsahau Mungu. Wengine hujikuta wanaingia hata kwenye nguvu za giza ili tu mtu wamharibie mambo yake. Pale wakifanikiwa kuharibu maendeleo yake, hufurahi na hata kusherehekea huo wanaouona ni ushindi kwao. Kuteta, kudhihaki na kucheka wenzao ndio inakuwa furaha yao isiyo kifani.
Katika hali ya kawaida, walitakiwa kuuliza chanzo cha mafanikio yake ili wajue mwenzao alifanyaje mpaka akafikia hapo alipofika. Kwa vyovyote vile, kama ilivyo kwa binadamu yeyote, anaweza kuwa alipitia magumu mengi sana kabla ya kufikia hapo alipo sasa. Ukiuliza unaweza kupata ukweli wote. Waswahili husema, ‘Kuuliza si ujinga’. Ni vema kuuliza kuliko kuteta ama kusengenya pembeni. Unaweza kunufaika na majibu utakayopata.
