The Tokoloshe
Here in Africa, there exists the Tokoloshe (TO ko losh). The Tokoloshe is a mischievous spirit, your basic bad boy. He’s held responsible for everything from the disappearance of one of a pair of socks to impregnating your wife while you were off on a long hunting trip. Within the tribe, the Tokoloshe gets blamed for wrong deeds and stolen items. He's everyone's scapegoat. ("The Tokoloshe is ruining my marriage!")
For a tribe to be capable of sustaining itself against natural disasters and marauders of all kinds, it needs to operate as a cohesive unit, acting always on behalf of the collective. This survival strategy requires that individuals sublimate their individual good for the good of the tribe. In actuality, the Tokoloshe is really the Peace Keeper. Nobody gets blamed, friction is smoothed, conflict within the tribe is avoided, resentment doesn’t happen (supposedly: but never underestimate the seduction of resentments). No harm, no foul – the whole tribe is happy, community intact – and everyone quickly adjusts to the New Scenario, because there is literally no accounting for the havoc wreaked by the Tokoloshe.
I’m waiting for the day the human race operates on behalf of the planet (animal, vegetable, mineral) …egos are sublimated to serve the whole. Hopefully, the difference will be that there is no Tokoloshe to whom responsibility is deferred – no one blames anyone or anything else, and each person takes responsibility for all their thoughts and deeds.
