They didn’t have to lift a finger against us. All they had to do was make us turn on each other.

While we were busy defending our corners, proving each other wrong, they stood untouched — the ones truly holding the power. Pride did their work for them. Rumours lit the match. Ego fed the flame and before we knew it, we were standing in the ruins of what could’ve been unity.

It’s heartbreaking how quickly we forget who the real enemy is when our attention is hijacked by offence and our hearts are hardened by misunderstanding. We were created for connection — not conflict. But they whispered lies into the spaces between us, turned differences into weapons, and quietly stepped back as we did their work for them.

The truth? Unity terrifies them. Because when we stop pointing fingers at each other and start asking, who gains from our division?, the fog lifts. When we link arms instead of drawing lines, their schemes fall apart. Their control depends on our confusion. Their power thrives in our disconnection.

But we are wiser now. We see the game for what it is. And we’re choosing a better way — truth over noise, reconciliation over retaliation, and courage over convenience.

We were never meant to be enemies. We were always meant to be a family.

🎨Creative Prompt:

In your journal or sketchbook, create a visual reflection titled “The Real Enemy”. Use divided lines or contrasting colours on one half of the page to represent misunderstanding, and soft blending or interwoven patterns on the other to illustrate unity. In the centre, write the question:

“Who benefits from our division?”🤔

Let this piece become a visual prayer — a reclaiming of clarity, compassion, and collective strength.

Keep seeking truth, beloved. You were born to walk in the light, not in confusion. And you were never meant to fight this battle alone
