Meet Wally Green--the ping-pong diplomat who turned his hatred into heroism. Wally is changing the world by his ability to connect with youth on a powerful level.

Wally is the founder of Spin, a table-tennis bar that can be found around the United States. Wally speaks to the power of the human spirit and how to turn hate into heroism.

Transforming hate into heroism is a challenging and complex process that involves changing deeply ingrained beliefs and behaviors. Here are a few steps that may be helpful:

Acknowledge and accept your feelings of hate: It's important to be honest with yourself about your feelings and not try to ignore or suppress them.

Identify the source of your hate: Try to understand what is driving your feelings of hate. Is it a traumatic experience, societal influences, or something else?

Challenge your beliefs: Once you understand the source of your hate, begin to question the assumptions and stereotypes that are fueling it. Look for evidence that contradicts your beliefs, and consider alternative perspectives.

Practice empathy: Try to understand and relate to the feelings and experiences of those you hate. This can help to reduce feelings of animosity and increase feelings of compassion.

Take action: Once you have a better understanding of the issues and have developed a more compassionate perspective, take action to make a positive impact in the world. This can include volunteering, advocating for change, or simply treating others with kindness and respect.

It's important to note that this process takes time, effort and it's not something that can be achieved overnight. It may also require additional support and guidance from professionals such as therapists, counselors or other experts.
