Thoughts after Interview Minister Huang
Lu Sih-Sian
Some people think it not a big deal if they do things wrong, but Minister Huang told them, ¡§If you do things wrong, you have to change your outlook on life.¡¨ Do good things, not to do bad things. Minister Huang wanted us to have correct outlook on life and reminded us not to do bad things. He said that the most important thing in life is to have a correct outlook on life.
What is outlook on life? I¡¦d been thinking about this question for a long time, only until I learned from Minister Huang that I got more clear thoughts on this. We interviewed him on December 3rd when he had more free time. He used to be a police, and he became a minister a long time after that. He is a prison minister who counsels criminals in prisons and helps them with the chance to reborn after they are discharged.
I think the outlook on life Minister Huang wanted to teach me is that men should be humble, don¡¦t be pride nor selfish. Everyone should build his or her own right outlook on life, even the criminals in prisons. They can be better and better by establishing right outlook on life. If a prison doesn¡¦t change his life philosophy, he or she will possibly make same mistakes after being discharged. Minister Huang said, ¡§There are good and bad people in the world. For some bad guys, it is difficult to change their outlook on life. They may have killed people and abused drugs. It takes time to change their hearts. Only if they change their outlook on life, they will not do bad things over and over again so that they will have peaceful life.¡¨
¡§Life can be wonderful once you have right outlook on life¡¨ said Minister Huang. But how can we change? Minister Huang told us to do many good things and never do wrong things in order not to have trouble and dangers. I wondered how bad people could change themselves. Minister Huang taught me, ¡§Everyone should try his best to do everything and don¡¦t be selfish. If we can only save one person, then it¡¦s only one.¡¨ I really admire him.
