Who are the Gods of War in your life?

Who are the Gods of War in your life?

The ones who kept you small, kept you divided, kept you distracted. The ones who convinced you the fight was between you and the person next to you, when really, they were the ones pulling the strings the whole time.

I met some of them this week.

Not in some grand, dramatic way. But in the quiet realizations, the moments of clarity, the threads I finally pulled all the way through. The ones that showed me the people who benefited from my passivity. Who counted on me not fighting back.

They weren’t warriors. They were architects.

They designed the conflict. They built the system. They made sure I believed the fight was between me and someone else, not between me and the story they had written for me.

And for a long time? It worked.

Until it didn’t.

The second you see it, you can’t unsee it.

The second you realize the war was never between you and them, but you and the ones who shaped the battlefield, everything changes.

That’s what this week has been.

Seeing the full picture. Naming the real fight. Understanding that the biggest shift I ever made wasn’t when I started swinging, it was when I stopped fighting the wrong battle.

We have to stop killing each other.
We have to stop hating each other for no reason.
We have to stop playing their game.

And we’re going to find out what happens when we do.

Imagine three days of no violence in Baltimore. Then imagine five. Then seven.

What do you think happens after that?  

We won’t be finding out alone.
