I know a lot of good people who are always considerate of others and ready to help. They never care about their own gain or loss.
Once, I came across a businessman. One time a client accidentally gave him 20 dollars too much for a payment, but he returned the extra money to the client. His client was very grateful. He said to the client, "It is my Teacher you should thank. He is the one who taught me how to be a good person."
Another businesswoman went to the bank to exchange coins for notes. After she went back home, she found that she was given 60 dollars extra. She hurried back to the bank and returned the money. The clerk at the bank said, "You are a good person. Thank you so much." The businesswoman answered, "Every Falun Gong practitioner would do the same thing."
Influenced by such a group of good people and by the truth-clarification materials of Falun Gong, I wanted to be a good person, too. Those materials talked about how to be a good person and that good is rewarded with good, and evil with evil. Later, I was hit by a motorcycle, and as a result, my head had a swollen bruise and my new coat was damaged. I tried to follow the principles of Falun Gong and said to the driver, "It's all right. You can leave now. But remember that Falun Dafa is good and Truth-Compassion-Forbearance is good." I would never have done that before.
Yet, these good Falun Gong people are subjected to inhumane persecution. The practitioner who returned the money to the bank is still being persecuted. She cannot return to her home and has become destitute in order to avoid detention. Why should people who want to be good be persecuted? Where is the justice or fairness? Where are human rights?
