(Clearwisdom.net) Since the day Falun Dafa was first disseminated, ever more people are joining its ranks. People's moral standards are rising continuously. Unfortunately, given the persecution, many people are still deluded and continue to be misled by the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) lies. They cannot accept, and thus reject, the truth-clarification of practitioners. Many are not angry with practitioners and they do not wish to save face, and remain calm because of special relationships with practitioners. But in fact, they show contempt towards practitioners' truth-clarification efforts and their exposing of the evil nature of the CCP. They stubbornly judge Dafa and all the things practitioners are doing to save sentient beings, by the CCP lies. They have been too deeply indoctrinated by the CCP.
In fact, among these people, many are honest, loyal, quiet and kind people, based on non-practitioner standards. What is puzzling is that after they have associated with practitioners for some time, they still cannot be influenced and moved by the noble conduct and virtue of the practitioners.
Some practitioners have unknowingly expressed tacit approval for these peoples' thoughts and actions. One fellow practitioner once said when talking about one of his friends, "This child is great and kindhearted, except that he doesn't identify with Dafa."
The standard for practitioners in discerning good and bad people is different from that of an everyday individual. The criterion for non-practitioners to discern whether someone is good or bad has changed. It must be understood that practitioners would never use such a criterion to judge people. The so-called "good guys" by non-practitioner standards may help the tyrant to do evil if they do not correctly understand Dafa.
Therefore, practitioners discern if someone is good or bad only by Falun Dafa's principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. That's the reason why we practitioners keep clarifying the truth to sentient beings and help people to erase the thoughts that have been poisoned by the CCP lies, so they can be positive towards Falun Dafa. This is the condition which will ensure their bright future.
Only by grasping the principles of Falun Dafa can we distinguish between real good and bad. We cannot easily draw a conclusion using non-practitioner standards. We resolve their questions using the wisdom we have cultivated by practicing Falun Dafa. We clarify the truth and save sentient beings, so we must mind our speech.
