[Abin da ke biyowa wani yanki ne daga littafin Julie Ponesse, Lokacin Mu Na Ƙarshe.]
Na sha yin mamakin yadda zai kasance a Babel a farkon zamanin bayan halakar ta. Ba mu san cewa da gaske Allah ya ruguza hasumiyar ba, amma hasashe yana kama da hotunan mutane suna yawo a cikin kurar kango, suna zaune a cikin tarkacen bege da mafarkai masu karya. "Yanzu me?" tabbas sun yi mamaki.
Wani abu mai ban sha'awa game da labarin Babel shi ne cewa an gina hasumiya ba kawai a matsayin ƙoƙari na isa sama ba amma don kiyaye haɗin kai a tsakanin juna. “Ku zo, mu gina wa kanmu birni da hasumiya…; in ba haka ba za mu warwatse.” Yana da wuya a zarge su da hakan.
Labarin Covid ya bayyana namu burin haɗin kai, mai daraja mai daraja: "Dukkanmu muna cikin wannan tare," "Ku yi aikinku." Ko da yake an tsara shi a cikin 2020, canjin al'adun zamantakewa zuwa wani nau'in haɗin kai - haɗin kai ta hanyar daidaituwa - ya fara samun ci gaba shekaru da yawa a baya.
Don cim ma aikin ɗan adam mai girma kamar Babel, ƙirƙirar ɓarna a cikin lokaci ko kawar da ƙwayar cuta, akwai ɗan sarari don bambancin mutum. Idan wani yana so ya ɗauki lokaci ya ƙirƙiro wani nau'in tubali ko kuma ya dakata don yin la'akari da faffadan ma'anar sarrafa kwayoyin halitta, ƙarfin aikin zai ragu. Ƙaunar ɗaiɗaikun jama'a - ma'anar wanene ya bambanta da ƙungiyar - barazana ce ga ayyukan haɗin kai kuma, tun da waɗannan su ne abin da ke bayyana mu a yanzu, shine babbar barazana ga tsarin zamaninmu. An gaya mana cewa rayukanmu guda ɗaya sadaukarwa ce mai ma'ana da za mu yi domin babban aikin ɗan adam, kuma sadaukarwa ce da yawancin mutane suka yi kamar suna farin ciki sosai.
Me ya sa?
Domin fatauci shine alkawarin dawwama, alkawarin wani abu mafi girma fiye da kansa.
An haife mu, muna yin abin da za mu iya daga cikin ƴan ƴan rayuwarmu, mun tsufa, sannan mu mutu. Lokacinmu a duniya yana wucewa a cikin ƙiftawar ido kuma, sai dai idan kai mutum ne na ruhaniya, ka gaskata cewa, lokacin da ka mutu, shi ke nan. Don haka muna ƙoƙarin tsawaita rayuwa ta hanyar wucin gadi ko kuma mu saka ainihin mu a cikin haƙƙin ƙungiyar don aƙalla mu rayu ta hanyar wasu. "Yaki zaman lafiya ne," "'Yanci bauta ne," "Dukkanmu muna cikin wannan tare." Karanta su sosai kuma a ƙarshe sun zama al'ada, har ma da nagarta, hanyar shigar da ma'ana a rayuwarmu.
Idan muka kalli tarihin ɗan adam ta idon tsuntsu, za mu iya ganin jerin zagayawa tsakanin saurin hankali da fasaha, sa'an nan kuma ɓarna da faɗuwa daga ƙarshe. Mukan kirkire-kirkire, muna ci gaba, sannan mu yi tagumi, wani lokacin ma koma baya ko ma rugujewa. Mun ƙera kayan aiki, mun kammala aikin ƙarfe, mun ƙirƙira injin bugu, sannan intanet. Duniyar mu ba ta taɓa jin girma haka ba, duk da haka kuma tana da alaƙa da haɗin kai cikin harshe, salon rayuwa, da tunani. A hanyoyi da yawa, mun kusa zama “mutane ɗaya” fiye da kowane lokaci. Amma ba, a cikin rayuwata ta wata hanya, abubuwa sun kasance suna da ban tsoro, kuma marasa manufa da rashin amfani. Kamar yadda marubucin Kanada Matthew Barber ya rubuta kwanan nan: "Oh muna iya samun kayan aikin da suka fi dacewa, amma ba koyaushe muke sanin yadda ake amfani da su ba, Bayan haka mu mutane ne kawai..."
Babel ba labari ba ne kawai game da kabilanci. Labari ne game da asarar kwanciyar hankali, game da ƙaura zuwa sabuwar gaskiya. Yana da misalan abin da ke faruwa ba kawai tsakanin dama da hagu ba, masu goyon baya da kuma adawa, amma ga abin da ke canzawa a cikin cibiyoyinmu, a cikin al'adunmu, da kanmu. Labari ne na rabuwar kai da karaya.
Metaphorically, Ban sani ba ko muna rayuwa kwanakin da suka kai ga 'ruguwar hasumiya ko kwanakin baya bayan haka. Amma a fili yake cewa rashin jituwar da ke tsakaninmu da juna ne; idan ya zo ga ma'ana da ɗabi'a, ba mu magana da harshe ɗaya a matakin asali.
Ba zan iya taimakawa ba sai mamaki, idan ’yan Adam suna zagayawa cikin waɗannan lokutan Babel lokaci-lokaci, me yasa? Menene duk waɗannan “lokacin Babel” suka yi tarayya? Shin ko mu kaddara ne za mu maimaita su? Kuma idan mun fahimci lokacin da muke ciki, shin za mu iya yin wani abu don mu canza tafarkinmu, don mu sa sakamakon ya zama marar lahani fiye da yadda zai kasance?
