Every person must understand that the world outside is a reflection of his psyche; If there is anyone in his environment that he hates, that someone is a mental fragment of his own.

Excellent analogies throughout. And this analogy could apply to any scenario, really. No matter how much we try and externalize any issues that we are experiencing at any level (personal, local, global, etc.), it all comes down to the internal and until we address that, very little on the outside will change.
