OC was prematurely launched

Let me state my beliefs.
First of all, I believe in a God of freedom. God is free in doing whatever emerges in His mind. When God created men in His image, God took a certain risk but it was worthwhile. Man is like God in many ways, e.g. his creativity and his freedom. Freedom is important in at least two ways. One, with freedom, man is able to fully develop his potentials. Two, man is responsible for the choices he freely makes. Therefore, a political system that promotes or permits freedom is beneficial for men. Democracy is not a perfect political system. It has its flaws but it is relatively better than other repressive totalitarian systems.

Secondly, I believe in a God who cares about His creatures, especially mankind. The God I believe in actively involves Himself in human history. God is the true master behind human history. It is His intention to help the poor and the oppressed and God is powerful enough to transform evil and sufferings into blessings. Without His permission, nothing can happen.

Thirdly, I do not fancy that the Communists would permit democracy for the political reform in Hong Kong, viz. allowing universal suffrage to elect the Chief Executive. How can you expect democracy from the Communists when they lack democracy. It is something alien and they fear that their grip on power would be destroyed by democracy. The Communists would never let go of their power because they do not have confidence in the people they rule and they would not have any chance to make money when their power is gone. When there is no democracy, there is no balance and check on their tendency to abuse power for corruption.

After stating my basic beliefs, I would like to make the following observations.
First of all, the organizers of OC are academics. They are too idealistic and inexperienced in organizing people. Their logistic is poor. My ex-engineer brother teases them that these organizers have only told the protesters to bring along rain coat, water, digestives and goggles but have not arranged temporary toilet facilities for the protesters! Some people accused them of naivety. Their political reform proposal has been "hijacked" by radical democrats etc. Now, they were forced to start OC prematurely. The students told the OC organizers that they had given them a hope. Now that the students were provoked to turn their class boycott into something more radical. Where are you adults? What have you done to fight for a true universal suffrage etc. This movement was doomed to fail from the very beginning. Once started, it would soon be out of their control.

Secondly, many adults blame the organizers for exploiting the young people, making them  as their front-line soldiers while they remain safely in their comfort zone. I think this accusation is unfair to our younger generation. I think the new DSE syllabus is good in that it provides Liberal Studies to train our students to build up their independent thinking and presentation skills. Our last batch of AL students felt threatened by their juniors who had studied Liberal Studies. When students from the old syllabus met their S.6 counterparts, they found that their juniors were more outspoken and confident. From this. I conclude that our young people can be more mature and independent in their thoughts than some of our adults. Thank you, Liberal Studies.

Thirdly, I would rather blame the government for such an eventuality. To handle such a volatile situation, the police should dissipate the emotion of the crowd, channel it elsewhere instead of blocking it and provoking it. They are playing with fire!

Which of the two sons did the will of the father? (Matthew 21:31) Who are the hypocrites and who have repented?

Dear Lord, send Your Archangels to protect the people and shine Your glory upon us. Amen.
