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. You pin it down for three seconds, tire yourself out, and the moment you lift your hand to wipe your brow, it starts feeding again. This is why our community stays exhausted—perpetually Mad at the drain, Sad about the stagnation, and Scared to trust anyone else with the work. We confuse exhausting personal struggle with revolutionary power. ...

Nia- The Illusion of Disunity

So today I want to focus on these trouble makers who keep us divided. Let's call them the illusionists because they are magicians of sorts. They are skilled at getting us to believe that we are separate and not united. They are masters at getting us to see and even create the differences between us and others. They know that if we see ourselves as different from each other then we will not come together as one.

Now there are different types of illusionists, but for now I want to focus on the ones that come from within. These are the illusionists that in most cases we can recognize once we know what to look for. These people have a need to have drama in their lives and in our lives, so they try to create it when there is none. They do this by manipulating information and distorting reality, sometimes they do this to intentionally hurt someone or a group of people, but most of the time they do it because they don't know any other way to live. See these illusionists have been taught by society and their parents that this is how you live, you must get attention at all costs, even if you hurt someone else in the process, so you find ways to make things seem worse than they really are just so you can always be at the center.

These people may be your family members, friends, coworkers, and maybe even that stranger you meet in the coffee shop. They are all around us, and they will continue to attack us until we recognize them for what they are. Once we know how to identify them then we can call them out on their behavior, and create a space where peace and love can take over. Know these people for what they are and know that there is more of us who are uniting than those who would separate us. And one day we will be a united front against these illusionists as we unite with other groups of like-minded people.
