The Part you hide - by Zibah Black

I'm certain you don't want to hear this but I'm saying it anyway Everyone has a dark side. That part of you that, at some point, has imagined doing something… dark.Not just small thoughts; but things you wouldn’t openly admit. But we all act like it isn’t there. And honestly… that’s what makes it dangerous. Because whether you acknowledge it or not, it’s there. Lurking... Stalling.... Waiting. I remember seeing a news story a long time ago about a young guy who brutally killed his girlfriend. It shocked everyone. When I looked deeper, people around him described him completely differently.They said he was calm, normal… that they weren’t even that kind of couple. Nothing about him suggested something like that could happen. And maybe they were right. But maybe… there was also a part of him that had always been there. A part he never paid attention to. A part that slowly grew in silence. I call it the monster. It’s that side of you that pushes you toward things you normally wouldn’t do.The side that acts out of impulse, emotion, or buried thoughts. The funny part is, when people finally act on it… they blame something else. “It was the devil.”“Something came over me.” But if we’re being honest… That was you. Yes, influences exist. Temptations exist. Call it whatever you want. The devil has a part to play but that's not making you do it; it is fueling your urge to. I'm not saying the devil is innocent but he actually feeds on your tendencies and interestsHe won't use lust to tempt you if he doesn't know you have a tendency for it. (Don't know if the devil is a 'he' though) But the devil or those things don’t create the desire; they amplify what’s already there. They don’t plant the seed.They water it. Someone who has no jealousy doesn’t suddenly act out of envy. It starts small.Jealousy grows into envy.Envy builds into resentment.And if left unchecked… it can turn into action. That’s how it works. We all have something in us. Now that you've read this Take a moment to think about it there would have been times when you thought something really bad that you wanted to do to someone. The thought would have definitely shocked you and you'll be surprised you could even think like that. Sick right? So The difference is not who has it and who doesn’t. The difference is how we handle it. Ignoring it doesn’t make it disappear.It actually makes it worse. Because when you ignore it, you give it space to grow quietly; without control, without awareness. And when it finally shows up… it doesn’t ask for permission. It takes over. But accepting it blindly isn’t safe either. Because if you embrace it without control, it can consume you. So now the question becomes: What do you actually do with it? What do you do with a part of yourself that you know is capable of things you don’t even fully understand? What can you do to make it stop? Think about it.
