This is certainly a great time to remember, a big test of conscience, strength, wisdom, faith, courage…
a lot happened since the 721 attack in Yuen Long. in just a few days, various gatherings/ protests at different places, requesting the same issues that have not been addressed by govt for almost 2 months, + other more recent incidents. airport, YL, Central / sheung wan, kwai chung police station…
police and govt.use stronger force / means trying to curb all similar activities : many more tear gas (even expired ones), fast and massive charging of protesters , even those who gathered to support release of those detained , people who applied for permit for a protest, or those very likely only helping out at the scene : social worker, nurse, … not to mention press, .. even firefighters / ambulances were said to be banned from entering certain areas…
the threat that the army will enter HK continues…
then came the sudden ban of mainlanders visiting taiwan…
analyst under personal threat, accusing him of doing something he did not…
meanwhile, no govt officials / police step down / held responsible regarding all that has happened in 2 months, esp. 721. though luckily, ICAC already launching an investigation.
no one likes violence. esp. not seeing how our younger generation got injured that seriously for political reason.
when justice is being more suppressed, more conscience and courageous people will voice out.
already seeing spouse of police stepping out, supporting thorough investigation, hoping to prove innocence of most police officers, and rebuild reputation of the force.
also those who worked in the legal dept., openly accuse their boss of prejudice in charging protesters vs. those who engaged in 721 attack. ..
other civil servants launching gatherings, asserting their freedom of speech / gathering as a HKer, even though they have another form identity as a civil servant….
i still see light. people r more embracing, united , outspoken , stronger.. than ever. we might not agree with the means, yet all know very well the cause / goal.
it is a test for each of us as a human, against self interest / still keeping silence despite so much injustice.
i think of Anne Frank. the strong girl who maintained so much faith in such harsh times.
also Eckhart : that we r various manifestation of the One Consciousness. our true essence is pure , unconditioned , timeless, formless, spaceless, consciousness, though each of us also have a form identity : nurse, dr., student, police, lawyer..
to know and identify only our form identity creates a big ego, that constantly wants to prove one is superior , right, … and all others r enemies..
it is more challenging for those deeply conditioned to have greater awareness of their own minds / thoughts
may HKers be the pioneers, a shining example of a true human being. so that justice can be uphold, and everyone enjoys basic human rights
all is well. even though some turbulent times / drastic transformation is needed.
have faith that light shall prevail. it is already happening worldwide.
Blessings be to All
