(Clearwisdom.net) I encounter different kinds of people when clarifying the truth. Sometimes when I talk about how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) restricts freedom of speech, some people list the other countries that do the same. At the beginning, I didn't know how to answer them because I didn't know too much about the topic. In addition, I didn't have time to read up on current world affairs. In order to better clarify the truth, I began to spend a lot of time trying to learn about this issue from different websites. However, I still didn't fully understand the situation. Maybe it was because I didn't have much experience or knowledge in this area, so I had no concept about this issue. Yesterday I encountered the same situation. Again, I didn't know how to answer people. When I tried to look for the answer online, I couldn't open the web page. I suddenly realized, "This is not right! Veteran practitioners who live in the rural countryside and are illiterate can clarify the truth. How come I cannot? Practitioners can clarify the truth without knowing all the issues in ordinary society!"
I then enlightened that we can't follow or get caught up with the thoughts of everyday people. I should only have the thought of, "I only tell you the truth--that the CCP is bound to be eliminated--so withdraw from the Party to avoid being eliminated with it." I can guide them to the right websites so that they can get more information. I shouldn't be concerned about other countries' systems. After realizing this, I immediately knew how to answer their questions. Therefore, we need to remember why we clarify the truth. All of their questions will become very simple to answer.
