Ka mea a ka poʻe e manaʻo maoli ai iā mākou

I ka hopena o ka l970's, aia wau ma Rūsia, a ʻo ia ka ʻāpana o ka Soviet Union. E huakaʻi ana wau ma kahi kaʻa me nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi Kelemania Swiss, a ʻo ka huaʻōlelo wale nō i hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo ma ka Kelemānia Swiss ʻo "halbi nooni," ʻo ia hoʻi 8:30, a ʻo ia ka manawa a mākou i kau ai i ke kaʻa ʻōhua i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka.

I ko mākou hōʻea ʻana i ka palena Lūkini, ua mālama ʻia ke kaʻa holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa no ʻekolu mau hola no ka mea ke heluhelu nei wau i kahi kope o Newsweek, a ua hoʻokomo ʻia i kahi katuna o Brezhnev – inā wau e hoʻomanaʻo pono– e kau ana ma luna o kahi pōkā. ʻO kahi gaggle o nā mākaʻi palena i nānā i ka katuna me ka paranoid koʻikoʻi, a ua kiʻi i kaʻu Newsweek, hoʻopaʻi iaʻu, a ʻae iā mākou e komo i ka ʻāina.

ʻO nā ʻōpio Lūkini aʻu i hui ai e haʻalulu ana ma lalo o ka hoʻokaumaha nui o ko lākou ola. Holo lākou ma hope oʻu, e nīnau ana iaʻu inā hiki iā lākou ke kūʻai i kaʻu jeans. E ʻoluʻolu wau e koi aku, koe wale nō wau e ʻōlohelohe i nā alanui o Moscow. Ua noi mai kekahi o lākou iaʻu e launa me ia i ka pō, ma kahi paka kūloko, kahi āna i palekana ai mai nā maka o nā kiu a haʻi mai iaʻu i kona ʻano pōʻino loa.

"Malia i kekahi lā hiki iā ʻoe ke kipa iā ʻAmelika," i haʻi aku wau iā ia.

"ʻAʻole au e hele i ʻAmelika," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Haʻalele nā ​​ʻohana kanaka iā lākou ke loaʻa ʻole kahi hana a kālā ʻole. Noho lākou i nā alanui. He home ʻole lākou. Pono lākou e noi i ke kālā e ʻai ai. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻomanawanui i ka ʻike ʻana i kēlā. ”

Ua pūʻiwa au. ʻO ia ka manawa mua aʻu i hālāwai ai me kekahi mea i hoʻopūʻiwa ʻia e nā kaulike ʻole o ke kaiāulu ʻAmelika, a ʻaʻole wau i makemake e kipa.

I loko o nā makahiki, ua hālāwai au me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i hōʻole e kipa i koʻu ʻāina. Ua weliweli lākou i kā mākou kaua haole moekolohe, a ʻaʻole makemake e hāʻawi i ke kālā mākaʻikaʻi e kākoʻo i ka bellicosity luku.

I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hālāwai wau me nā poʻe ma nā ʻāina like ʻole e like me Wale, Turkey, Kuikilana, Polinesia Palani, a me Chile i hōʻole e hele i ko mākou kahakai. Hoʻomaʻo pinepine wau e haʻi iā lākou i ka nani, multi-facet, a me ka nui o ʻAmelika, a hiki iā lākou ke ʻike i nā ʻuhane hanauna e like me ke ʻano o kā lākou hana, a makemake e hui pū me lākou. Akā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa kūʻē i nā mea e makemake ai lākou e hōʻalo i ka hele ʻana mai i aneʻi: ka hana ʻino ma ʻAmelika. Makaʻu lākou i ka hele wāwae ʻana i ka pō, ka make ʻana, a lilo i helu i ka hana kipi i paʻa i ko mākou lāhui. ʻAʻole maopopo iā lākou ke kumu e pono ai ka poʻe i nā pū lūlū, a i ʻole lawe i nā mea huna. Kāhāhā lākou i ka nui o nā pū o ke kani e holo nei, a pehea ka maʻalahi o ke kūʻai ʻana i hoʻokahi. Weliweli lākou. Makaʻu wale nō. Makemake nui lākou i ko mākou mau kūlanakauhale ola, kūlohelohe, nā ʻāina mahiʻai, nā wā kahiko, nā moana, nā loko, a me nā poʻe aloha ma mua o ka hoʻoweliweli ʻia.

“No ka pūʻali koa mākou. Mālama mākou i nā pū lūlū ma ka home. Akā ʻaʻohe a māua mea e like me kāu hana ʻino, ”i haʻi mai kahi kāne Switzerland iaʻu.

Ua hala he mau lā i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana e pili ana i nā mea e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana, ma ke ʻano he kanaka aloha i ka maluhia, e hoʻohuli i nā mea ma ʻAmelika - ʻaʻole e hoʻokipa i nā poʻe mākaʻikaʻi, akā e noho maluhia a palekana hoʻi. ʻAʻole wau i noʻonoʻo me kahi mea paʻa a hiki i kaʻu kāne ʻo Paul a hoʻomaka wau e nānā i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kahiko ma Netflix i ka pō. Ua hahau iaʻu he liʻiliʻi loa ka hana ʻino i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Kūkākūkā nā kānaka a ʻakaʻaka, pili a palua paha, aloha ʻia, inaina ʻia, hakakā, hoʻokūkū, a hana i nā mea āpau a ke kanaka e hana ai, akā ma ka laulā ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻonā i kā lākou pilikia me nā mea kaua, a ʻaʻole lākou e ʻokiʻoki i ka poʻe i lalo. I ka wā i loaʻa ka hana ʻino, ʻaʻole ia he gory a he kiʻi ʻole.

He ʻokoʻa loa ia i nā hale kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻAneʻane ʻo kēlā me kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hōʻike i nā leo percussive nui, ʻokiʻoki, a me nā pū, nā pū, ka pepehi kanaka, ke koko, nā mea hoʻoweliweli, ke kī ʻana, nā pahū, a me nā mea like like. No nā makahiki, ua hōʻole wau e ʻike i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o Quentin Tarantino, no ka laʻana. ʻO ka mea āna e hana ai he mea ʻino ia: pālua ʻo ia i ka hoʻomākeʻaka a me ka hana ʻino. E like me he mea hoʻomākeʻaka ke kī ʻana a make. He haʻuki kēia. He leʻaleʻa ia. Piha loa ʻo Star Wars i ke kī ʻana a me nā pahū ʻana ma hope o kekahi manawa ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi i ka mea e hoʻouka nei iā wai, a no ke kumu. ʻAi ʻia nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o nā keiki i ka hana ʻino.

Ua noʻonoʻo wau i ka ʻano o ka puhaka ʻana ma aneane o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni āpau. He ʻoluʻolu ke hoʻomālamalama. A laila lilo i mea ʻole. Kau ʻia ka pilikia ma Hollywood a me nā mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻole i nā hōkū puhipaka. A koho aha? Kākaʻikahi ka ʻike ʻana i nā hōkū puhi i kēia manawa. A pāpā ʻia ka puhipaka ma nā hale ʻāina a me nā wahi lehulehu.

No ke aha hiki ʻole iā mākou ke hana i ka mea like e pili ana i nā pū? E hoʻokau i ka ikaika ma luna o ka poʻe e hana i kā mākou moʻomeheu — nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ke kīwī, nā mele. Hana ʻole i nā pū a me nā hana ʻino. Hōʻike i ka gamut o ke kūlana kanaka a me nā haunaele, a hana pēlā me ka noʻonoʻo, ma mua o ka ʻimi ʻana i nā hoʻonā palaualelo e hilinaʻi nei i nā mea kaua. E hōʻemi iki i ke koko. Hana i ka pepehi kanaka i mea weliweli, ʻaʻole i haʻuki.

Inā mākou e kāpae i ka pono ʻole i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻole, nā hōʻike kīwī, a me nā mele, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopili i nā ʻoihana e hoʻolālā i ko mākou moʻomeheu. Mālama mākou i kā mākou kākoʻo a me kā mākou kālā. Inā piʻi ka nui o kā mākou helu, hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa i kahi hopena waiwai ʻole maikaʻi loa i nā ʻoihana e hoʻopau i ka hana kolohe ponokala.

Inā hana ʻole mākou, ʻo mākou kekahi o ka pilikia.

Lana koʻu manaʻo i kekahi lā, hiki i ka poʻe makaʻu e hele mai i kēia ʻāina ke pīhoihoi ma mua o ka makaʻu, a hiki ke ʻike i kahi ʻAmelika e aloha, lokomaikaʻi, mālama, a, ʻo ka hapanui o nā mea āpau, palekana.
