"Alex Mandossian Answers the In Search Of Heroes Program Questions 'Do you have any good solutions to the problems facing society, especially racism, child and spousal abuse and violence among young people?'" by Ralph Zuranski
There is only one solution and that is, “Do your part by being the best you can be.”
Rather than looking at the problem as outside of yourself, look at what part of that problem do you own. Then do something about it from your own perspective rather then complaining or whining about it.
Start with yourself! Start at point A. Know where you are. Acknowledge where you are.
If you’re noticing that problem, there is a part of that problem in you. If you’re fighting prejudice, fighting racism, there is a part of that in you.
You don’t know where that is but it’s in you somewhere or it’s in your family. Otherwise you wouldn’t recognize it.
So, first do your best to remedy and solve that problem and then you can start on others. If you come out squeaky clean first and you demonstrate greatness instead of just talking about it or complaining about it you will be a lot more effective.
Ralph Zuranski; So you think the things we dislike the most are difficulties that we are facing within our own selves?
Alex Mandossian: Yes, I think we have it within us and we have to overcome it. That’s why we are facing those things. It’s a projection; you know when someone complains, like “I don’t trust that person.”
That person who is making that claim does not trust themselves in some way because otherwise that would have never come into their consciousness. It is within them.
I firmly believe that to be true. It has been proven psychologically to be true, both at a spiritual and physical level. So, I would firmly, firmly not only believe but acknowledge that if you dislike someone find out what part of that person is in you.
You dislike yourself as a result of that. We’re connected. If you have a problem with something or someone, find out what part of that is in you before you start solving the problem outside of you. If you do that and if everyone did that, wouldn’t the world become a better place?
