My Understanding of the Chinese Saying that "God Makes Those Crazy Whom He Wants Destroyed"

By a practitioner in Mainland China

(Clearwisdom.net) When I first heard the phrase "God makes those crazy whom he wants destroyed," I thought it was quite reasonable. I heard some practitioners quoted this phrase numerous times. During a recent Fa study, I realized that this phrase contains some elements that are contradictory to Dafa principles.

Teacher says,

"The Fa-rectification affects the futures of all lives, instead of only Dafa disciples, the world's people, or beings from different realms. Given the Fa-rectification's immensity, who could be left out? At the same time, because of the utmost importance of a being's attitude towards Fa-rectification, nobody has the right to seal off sentient beings and make them ignorantly commit sins against Fa-rectification and Dafa. Meddling from those factors of the old forces should never have happened in the first place. It is real only when the sentient beings are able to look at this affair and take a position without being controlled in any way and in the absence of interference from any factor. When that's not the case, isn't what they devised a manifestation of their arranging certain beings to do good and certain beings to do bad things based on their wishes? Is that the true behavior of those beings? It's not! But as the situation currently stands, the cosmos's old, final factors are still interfering with what is wanted and what needs to be established for the future." (Teaching the Fa at the 2005 Canada Fa Conference)

From Master's teaching, I personally think that it is against Dafa's principles for a certain higher being to arrange for a certain lower being to go down an evil path to be eliminated just because this higher being considers the lower being not good any more, or no longer worthy of being saved. Rather, it should be this being's own choice, a choice without control or interference. The old forces' wish to arrange for a certain being to be eliminated is itself an interference and counteractive to the Fa rectification

Looking introspectively, I sometimes deliberately touched upon other people's interest in order to reach my own purpose. When others fought against me to vindicate their interest, I then regarded them as selfish and wrong in order to conceal my own selfish intention.

The above is only my personal understanding. Please kindly correct me if my understanding is inadequate.
