“Ini ndi Sophia a tinguja munthengwa kwa vyaka vakujumpha 39. Pavuli paki, iyu wangutayika wati watama kwa nyengu yitali. Pa nyengu iyi, anyangu angundiwovya ukongwa, kweniso ndachitanga vinthu vinyaki kuti chitima chimali. Kweni kwa chaka champhumphu, ndenga ndi chitima ukongwa. Ndawonanga kuti chitima changu chimalengi cha. Chinanga kuti sonu pajumpha vyaka pafufupi vitatu kutuliya po iyu wakutayikiya, kweni nyengu zinyaki ndichita chitima mbwenu, ndipu kanandi ndibuchira waka kuti vachitika.”—Kostas.

Kumbi munthu yo mwamuyanjanga wakutayika? Asani ndi viyo, panyaki namwi mutuvwa nge mo Kostas wavwiyanga. Palivi chinthu chakupweteka ukongwa kuluska nyifwa ya munthu yo ukutorana nayu, mubali waku pamwenga mubwezi waku. Akaswiri wo asambira vakukwaskana ndi chitima cho munthu watuŵa nachu chifukwa cha nyifwa, nawu akamba so viyo. Mwakuyeruzgiyapu, magazini yinyaki yikamba kuti, “ŵanthu anyaki awona kuti asani munthu yo amuyanjanga watayika, mbwenu kwamala azakumuwona so cha kweniso achita chitima ukongwa.” (The American Journal of Psychiatry) Asani munthu we ndi chitima ukongwa, wangajifumba kuti: ‘Kumbi chitima chenichi chimalengi zukwanji? Kumbi ndazamukondwa so? Kumbi ndingachita wuli kuti chitima chimali?’
