This is a secondary school student and @demosisto volunteer pressed to the floor by several copsโ knees in Causeway Bay last night, before he was arrested. This was not even during a protest, but at a routine street booth we held. Police brutality is real.
As a result of material development and modern education, people commonly seek happiness in external things, but neglect their minds. True, lasting happiness depends on our taming our unruly minds. This is not so much about intellectual development as cultivating a warm heart.
Material development is important, but it only provides physical comfort. Peace of mind contributes to good health. Families that are moved by kindness, whether rich or poor, are happy; whereas those that are rich, but lacking in kindness and affection are unhappy.
