Good Citizens Give Rise to a Good Leader (Part 1 of 2) July 21, 2013

When there are good people, there is a good leader. This applies to any country. If there’s a bad leader or a bad government, it means that its people are not so good. They didn’t do good deeds to earn merits. Perhaps they didn’t do well in their previous lifetimes, and they didn’t improve to be better people in this lifetime, either. They haven’t earned enough merits. So if the government is bad, it’s because its people are not good. We can’t put the blame on the government all the time. I always say that you have to look inward, to check yourselves, instead of criticizing the government every time. It does not matter which government.
