UChris Sullivan.UKaitlyn Flannagan woMqwalaseli; Wadubula kwindawo eDutch Freds Xa iMelika yahlala phantsi yabelana ngesikhalo seeveki ngeeNBC Sithi aba Kunyaka ophelileyo, kusenokwenzeka ukuba sakha uluvo oluhlangeneyo malunga nokuba silindele ntoni kuToby Damon (uChris Sullivan), umfana ohlekisayo uKat owela. I-Hilarious, iswiti, kwaye ithambekele kwizimbo zothando ezinkulu, uToby wayengumqhuli onentliziyo eqinileyo yegolide-inye, kunye nokuziva ulungile.
Kodwa Sithi aba ngokukhawuleza uzibonakalise elichule ekukhuleni komlinganiswa kunokuba besimnike imbeko, kunye noToby-ezandleni zikaSullivan oshushu, oneminyaka engama-37 ubudala-otshintshileyo eklasini ethandekayo esiya kwindoda enentlungu yokwenene nenomdla wobomi uyosulela. Ngexesha lesibini lokujikeleza ngasekupheleni kukaSeptemba, uToby wayewukhiphile umphefumlo wakhe, waqhatha uKate (uChrissy Metz) kwaye waqhatha ukufa (kunye nokutya kwakhe).
Ke isithandathu okanye sesixhenxe sikhokelela njani kuqhushumbe lomdlalo weqonga njengabantu abathandayo? Kuyanceda ukuba umlinganiswa akakude kakhulu kumdlali weqonga.
Ubuntu bethu busondele kakhulu, uSullivan uxelele uMbonisi. Ngokuya kumava am obomi, ndicinga ukuba ndifunde ngakumbi kuToby kunokuba uToby wafunda kum.

Zombini ziyafana ngokuzonwabisa. Xa sidibana, imidlalo yaseSullivan ibhatyi emnyama eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka ngaphezulu kwejezi ecocekileyo emdaka, kunye nesigcina-ntloko seboyboy kunye nezona zihlangu zipholileyo zesiko wakha wazibona. UToby ukwaziwa ngokunxiba kwakhe. Umzuzu omnye uSullivan ujika kwi Inguqulelo yeDisco ye Idabi leenkwenkwezi Ingoma yomxholo , ngokulandelayo uchaza ngenjongo yobugcisa kunye nentsingiselo yothando. NjengoToby, kukho ubunzulu, ulwazi kunye nokufuna ukwazi okungabonakali ngokukhawuleza; ekuqaleni, uyabethwa buburharha bakhe kunye nomtsalane.
Kodwa eyona nto igqame kakhulu kukuzibophelela kwiimpendulo zikaSullivan. Ucinga ngokucacileyo malunga nento afuna ukuyithetha, ukucinga ayisebenzisileyo xa kuziwa ekwakheni isimilo sikaToby.
Umsebenzi kaToby kukubonisa ukuba iintlungu akufuneki zihlale kwindawo enosizi, kwaye ulwaneliseko alufuni luvuyo, utsho, ethatha umzuzu wokuqokelela iingcinga zakhe. Siphila kwixesha lezinto ezigabadeleyo. Abantu bacinga ukuba, kwisikali se-1-10, ukuba abekho kwi-10 yolonwabo, abonwabanga. Kodwa ubomi buphakathi kwesi-4 nesi-7 kulapho, ngokoluvo lwam, owona msebenzi uyenziwa, olona phando lululo… La manqaku asezantsi ayinyani kodwa okukhona sizityhalela esiphelweni, kokukhona kunokwenzeka ukuzisilayida emazantsi. Kwaye ayisiyiyo yokulungisa, ayikokungafikeleli phezulu kangangoko unakho. Kodwa imalunga nokubakho ngezo zihlandlo, ndiziqonde ukuba ziyintoni, kwaye ndicinga ukuba uToby ngokubanzi ulungile kuloo nto.
Ngaba ngulomfana okwenyani lo wenze nje Iflashdance hamba kwisiqendu sesihlanu?

Kulungile ukuba uToby usondele kakhulu ekhaya, kuba ezinye iindima zikaSullivan bezingasoloko zihleli. Phakathi kokudlala i-neo-Nazi ( Ubukhosi ), umqhubi we-ambulensi enobunzima kwicala elithambileyo ekuqaleni kwenkulungwane yama-20 ( I-Knick ), umnini-diner onobubele ( Izinto ezingaqhelekanga kunye nepirate yendawo ( Abagcini beGlass Vol. 2 ), Akuzange kubekho mxholo kwimisebenzi yakhe. Akufani nokusondelana kukaSylvester Stallone kuhlobo lwesenzo. USullivan uthanda iiprojekthi ezinomdla, ezinomngeni, ezonwabisayo, ezahlukileyo… kwaye nokuba azilunganga.
Ndiyathetha, akukho nto yenza umboniso usebenze, uyaphendula, xa ebuzwa malunga nengxelo yakhe yomkhondo kwiTV. Kukho abantu abathiyileyo Sithi aba . Kukho abantu abangathandiyo I-Knick, kwaye kukho abantu abangasithandi isimilo sikaToby. Ndingakuxelela ukuba yintoni eyenza umboniso usebenze ixesha elide okanye yintoni eyenza umboniso imali eninzi, kodwa nokuba kulungile okanye akunjalo kuxhomekeke kumntu nokuba ingaba loo nto yobugcisa ikhuthaza okuthile kuwe, ngethemba lokuba ngcono.
Ngaba ilungile okanye imbi nje ukuya kumbukeli? Ayinakulunga loo nto. Ngokwam, ndingumfana ocinga ISopranos kugqithisile kulwaphulo-mthetho kwaye loo Fox Phakamisa Ilifanele ixesha lesibini. Ngokuqinisekileyo inyambalala ayinakwenza izigwebo ezinjalo. ( Ingcingane ekulu kakhulu isemoyeni, emva kwayo yonke loo nto.) Kodwa, njengoko uSullivan eyibona, ubugcisa-nokuba yinto efikelela kude kwaye iphambili njengokuba Sithi aba —Ngamava omntu ngamnye.
Ubugcisa bufanele ukuba buphakamise isipili kubaphulaphuli babo buze, 'Wenza ntoni wena uyakholwa? Nzeni wena ucinga? Nzeni wena uziva? ’kwaye ukuba ujonga umzobo kwaye ukwenze ungaziva, akunjalo. Ke ndicinga ukuba abantu bacinga ukuba into ukuze ibe bubugcisa, kufuneka ibe bubugcisa obulungileyo okanye kufuneka ibe yinto abayithandayo. Kodwa inqaku labo nabuphi na ubugcisa, obulungileyo, obubi, okanye ngenye indlela, kukucela umngeni kubaphulaphuli babo ukuba bajonge ngaphakathi ngendlela efanayo ne-NASA okanye uNeil DeGrasse Tyson okanye uBill Nye okhuthaza abantu ukuba baphonononge ngaphandle kwabo kwaye baphonononge indalo iphela okanye baphonononge ngaphandle kwale umhlaba. Injongo yobugcisa kukukhuthaza abantu ukuba bajonge ngaphakathi.

Kodwa ngenxa yokuba uSullivan uxakeke kukuzibandakanya akuthethi ukuba akanakuma kwaye ajonge ngeenxa zonke. Sithi aba ibeka amanani ee-1990s kumabonakude (ixesha lokuqala lilinganiselwe phantse 10 yezigidi ababukeli abaphilayo kunye nexesha lesibini lihamba kakuhle) I-NBC ikhupha iibhonasi ezinkulu ukuze iphose amalungu kwaye uthotho sele lutshixelwe ixesha lesithathu. Olu luhlobo lwabadlali abasebenzayo abaphuphayo, nokuba uluntu alunakukhonza njengoko kufanelekile.
USullivan wafumana incasa yakhe yokuqala yodumo lwenkulungwane yama-21-apho onke amagqabantshintshi anikwa umda kubalinganiswa abali-140- ngelixa behleli ebhentshini lepaki, belinde umfazi. Njengokuba esixelela, abafazi ababini bebaleka nge…
Umfazi A: (akhombe eSullivan) fan enkulu!
Sullivan: Enkosi.
Umfazi B: Owu, nam! (kuMfazi A) Ngubani lowo?
Umfazi A: Uyazi… ngulaa mfo uvela kobu 'bubomi'
Umfazi B: Oo, kunjalo.
USullivan uthi kumnandi ukwamkelwa (nokuba abalandeli bakhe abakwazi ukumbeka okwangoku), kodwa oko kuqinisekiswa kwangaphakathi kungaphakathi. Uyavuya ngumsebenzi awenzayo (nangona iphupha lakhe elilandelayo kukusebenza ne-Duplass Brothers; ncedisa ukuba yenzeke, kwi-Intanethi!), Uyonwabele isimilo esinyanisekileyo nesinyanisekileyo asidlalayo, kwaye unebhongo lokuba uphila ubomi kwaye ulilo umntu ufuna ukuba. Uyayiqonda imeko yeemvakalelo zakhe kunye nendlela ezibuchaphazela ngayo ubomi bakhe. NjengoToby wakhe, ukhethwe ukuba abe ngamandla okulindela.
Akumangalisi ukuba uToby abe nguNdoda.
Igama elithi 'Namaste' lithetha ukuba 'ukukhanya kum kubonakalisa ukukhanya kuwe' kwaye ndicinga ukuba into eyenza abantu banomdla ngabantu abakhanyisa ukukhanya kwabo kunye nabantu abanokukuqonda oko kukhanya kwabanye. Sonke sifuna ukwamkelwa, sonke sifuna ukuba ukukhanya kuthi kuthi kwamkelwe, kuba ikho kwaye ilangazelela unxibelelwano. Ndicinga ukuba uToby uzenza zombini ezo zinto. Ndicinga ukuba luthando olunjani.
