Stop Scratching the Parasite: Why Your Solitary Grind Is Keeping You Bleeding

Stop Scratching the Parasite: Why Your Solitary Grind Is Keeping You Bleeding Most people aren't solving their problems; they’re just scratching their itch. You feel the sting of an oppressive system, the bite of economic sabotage, or the drain of toxic cycles, and what do you do? You lash out as a solitary warrior. You grind 80 hours a week, isolate yourself in the name of "focus," and push back with a single digit. The ancestors had a word for this foolishness: A single finger cannot kill a louse. When you press a solitary finger against a parasite feeding on your scalp, you don’t eliminate it. You just slide it across your skin.

We think that our wealth sits outside of us in houses, cars, clothes, shoes or other material possessions, when in fact the only thing we truly possess are the five parts of our being. We are in the world today struggling to survive when we have not yet unleashed the full potential of our Kuumba. We have unleashed it for other nations, but when it comes to enriching ourselves and our children we seem to fall short. We must reclaim this power for ourselves!
