NKHANI YA PAULO

KUPANGA KWA mphete Imodzi YA MPHAMVU™:

Ndinawerenga "The Hobbit" kwa nthawi yoyamba mu 1967 monga wamng'ono ku High School. Linali buku loyamba limene ndinawerengapo ndekha pandekha. Ndinali wowerenga wosauka kwambiri ndipo zinanditengera nthawi yambiri, khama, komanso kudzipereka kuti ndiwerenge buku lonselo. Mtundu wa Tolkien ndi zomwe zili The Hobbit anakopa chidwi changa ndipo ndinakakamizika kupirira. Tsopano ndimawerenga bwino ndipo ndimatha kudzaza thunthu lalikulu ndi zopeka za sayansi ndi zongopeka zomwe ndawerengapo. Kuwerenga kwa The Hobbit nthawi yoyamba imeneyo inali nthawi yosinthira moyo wanga. Ndapangidwa ndikuumbidwa ndi zomwe zidandichitikira ndi JRR Tolkien m'njira zenizeni.

Ndinapitiriza kuwerenga Ambuye wa mphete™ ndili ku koleji kuyambira 1969 - 1971. Kenako ndinawerenga Amakuru ku Mugoroba™. Zaka 40 pambuyo pake, pano ndine katswiri wopanga miyala yamtengo wapatali ya The Ruling Ring ndi zodzikongoletsera zina zovomerezeka kuchokera m'mabuku ongopeka. Pofunafuna dzina la mwana wathu wamkazi woyamba mu 1975, ndinapereka lingaliro la Lothlorian. Mkazi wanga adakonda mawu ndi lingaliro, koma adafupikitsa kuti Loria (loth LORIA n). Chifukwa chake ngakhale dzina la mwana wanga woyamba kubadwa lidauziridwa ndi JRR Tolkien, ndipo amanyadira mwa njira.

Ndikukula ndinali mnyamata wachilengedwe. Mu 1956, ndili ndi zaka 5, ndinapeza galasi langa loyamba pamalo otayirako zinyalala pafupi ndi nyumba yathu. Ndinali ndisanagwirepo galasi. Ndimakumbukirabe chisangalalo chochigwira, matsenga opeza ndi chisangalalo chokhala nacho. Kupezedwa kwa krustalo yoyamba ija kunandipatsa chikondi cha makristasi ndi mchere komanso chisangalalo chopeza chuma padziko lapansi. Ndakhala wokonda kwambiri rock hound kuyambira pamenepo. Ndikudziwa bwino lomwe Bilbo anamva atanyamula Arkenstone koyamba. Ndimakonda kupeza zinthu padziko lapansi.

Mu 1970, ndinaona mnzanga akugwira ntchito ya Lapidary, kudula ndi kupukuta miyala yamtengo wapatali. Patatha ola limodzi ndinali nditangomaliza kudula ndi kupukuta mwala wanga woyamba wamtengo wapatali, tigereye. Mu 1974, ndinaphunzira ntchito yosula siliva n’cholinga choti ndizitha kudziikira ndekha malo opangira miyala yomwe ndinkadula. Ndinapitiliza maphunziro anga a zodzikongoletsera kuyambira 1975 mpaka 1977. Ndinatsegula sitolo yanga yoyamba yodzikongoletsera mu 1975. Ndinamaliza maphunziro anga mu 1978 ndi BS mu Zoology ndi Botany ndipo ndinaphunzitsa sayansi ya sekondale ndi biology ya sekondale kwa zaka 7 ndisanabwerere ku zodzikongoletsera. bizinesi.

Monga wopanga miyala yamtengo wapatali, chifukwa chokhudzidwa kwambiri ndi zolemba za JRR Tolkien, zinali zosapeŵeka kuti tsiku lina ndipange The One Ring™ of Power. Nthawi zonse ndinkafuna chithunzi cha mphete. Mwinamwake ndinayeserapo koyamba mu 1975 kapena kupitirira apo; kuyesera kutsimikiza. Ndinayamba kuchita izi mozama mu 1997, ndi zotsatira zosakhutiritsa zingapo. Ndidatulutsa sitayilo yosalala yomwe ndidawona kuti ndiyabwino mokwanira mu 1998. Mu 1999, mphete idakonzedwanso kuti ikhale yozungulira bwino yomwe timapereka pano. Ndinalumikizana ndi Tolkien Enterprises, omwe tsopano ndi Middle-Earth Enterprises, ndipo tinakambirana za ufulu wa chilolezo kuti ndipange ndikugulitsa The One Ring. Chilolezo chimenecho chinapangitsa kuti tipeze ziphaso zathu zina ndi olemba zongopeka pazaka zambiri.

Ena afunsa kuti chifukwa chiyani wina angafune chinthu choyipa ngati Sauron's Ruling Ring; analengedwa kuti akhale akapolo a Middle Earth pansi pa ulamuliro wake wankhanza wakuda. Ngakhale icho chinali cholinga chomwe The Ruling Ring idapangidwira, ndiko osati zotsatira zake, kapena chinthu chokhacho chomwe The One Ring chimayimira. Ndikuona kuti mpheteyo ndi chizindikiro chofanana ndi cha mtanda kwa Akhristu. Mtandawu m’chenicheni uli chizindikiro cha kuipa kwakukulu kochitidwa m’dziko lino, koma m’malo mwake wakhala chizindikiro cha nsembe yaikulu koposa imene inaperekedwapo kuchotsapo choipa chachikulu padziko lapansi. Ndikumva kuti mphete imodzi ndi chizindikiro cha kudzipereka kwa Frodo kwa moyo wake kuti achotse zoipa zazikulu padziko lapansi. Ndichizindikironso cha zomangira zomwe zinapangidwa mkati mwa ulendo wa Chiyanjano ndi zowawa zawo zogonjetsa zoipa.

Kodi kulimbana kuti tigonjetse choipa sikutulutsa zabwino ndi zoipa mwa ife tonse? Ndikukhulupirira kuti monga chinthu chapakati cha The Lord of The Rings series, The One Ring imayimiranso zonse zomwe zili zabwino komanso zoona ku Middle Earth. Kwa ine zikuyimira machitidwe olunjika a Bilbo, kulolera kwa Frodo, kuleza mtima, kulimba mtima, nzeru ndi kudzipereka kwa Gandalf, kukongola kwa moyo wa Galadriel ndi kukoma mtima kwa mtima, kuleza mtima ndi mphamvu za Aragorn, kusasunthika kwa Sam, kukhulupirika, ndi kudzichepetsa, ndi ubwino wake. ena ambiri amene anali ndi phande m’kuyesayesa kuthetsa kuipa. Zimaimira kudzipereka komwe aliyense anali wofunitsitsa kuchita kuti akwaniritse zabwino zazikulu, zolimbikitsa komanso zamalingaliro amunthu. Ndi chikhalidwe ndi chikhalidwe ngati si chizindikiro chachipembedzo. Zimatikumbutsa kuti chilungamo chidzapambana pamene anthu abwino amakana kulekerera zoipa, ndi munthu mmodzi mungathe sinthani. Ndi chithumwa cha chiyembekezo ndi chikhulupiriro.

Zodzikongoletsera zanga ndizowonetseratu za yemwe ndi zomwe ine ndiri. Zolemba za Tolkien zakhudza kwambiri maganizo anga, mmene ndimamvera, zimene ndimakonda komanso zimene ndimakonda. Ndawumbidwa ndi moyo kukhala munthu yemwe tsiku lina adzapanga The One Ring of Power.
