(Clearwisdom.net) When I explain the truth about Falun Gong to others or try to persuade them to renounce the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for their own good, I often meet people with the following mindset: "Falun Gong doesn't concern me, and neither does the CCP. I'd better stay out of this business. It is good enough to be a good person in my heart." Many people consider it best to leave well enough alone, especially if something does not affect them personally. In other words, they try to walk the middle ground.
The general public often thinks this way because they do not have a good understanding of what Falun Gong is and have not clearly recognized the evil nature of the CCP. In addition, they have been immersed in the CCP culture and brainwashed for a long time. This state reflects my not having done well explaining the truth to them.
Falun Gong teaches practitioners to follow the universal principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, and to elevate their moral standards; it guides them back to their true selves. However, the CCP promotes the concepts of atheism and evolution and the philosophy of class struggle, thereby damaging traditional Chinese culture. Under the CCP's rule, 80 million Chinese people have been killed. Worst of all, the CCP has applied the most brutal and inhumane torture methods to destroy practitioners. Especially cruel is the Party's method of removing organs from living Falun Gong practitioners for profit. The CCP is a destructive force.
As practitioners, we believe in justice and karmic retribution, and that there a definite standard that distinguishes between good and evil. A person must choose either good or evil. Taking the middle ground ultimately shows disregard for the attempted destruction of Falun Gong and is akin to choosing evil. If you choose evil, then you can no longer say that you are a good person and respect yourself. Any truly good person should esteem Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance, and choose the good. Only this will clear one's conscience.
In order to help people distinguish between good and evil, we have to focus not only on what we tell people to explain the true situation of the persecution, but also on how we go about it. We have to consider individual differences between people, and the circumstances of time and location, so that the general public can accept our words gladly and be convinced.
