Random Building Thoughts - 2021-02-03

   


 -------------- A GOOD MAN IS NOT A HARMLESS MAN -------------- 
 
The Practice of Masonry Make Good Men Better, not Harmless
 

A good man is not a harmless man.
A good man is a very dangerous man
who chooses to keep civil his dangerous nature. 
 
 -------------- OUR CRAFT -------------- 
 
 Freemasonry
 
 "... A personal vocation of benevolent moral growth...
An activity of closely united men
who work for the welfare of mankind,
striving morally to ennoble themselves and others...
 
"A path clothed in the trappings of the ancient stone mason's craft,
blind to [religious preference], ethnicity, and social standing,
that leads toward morality, humility and love...
 
"A cooperative effort to improve the world
by taking responsibility for yourself
and the world around you,
and working alongside like-minded people
to make things a little better... "
(Hat tip to Bro. David Rosenthal!)
 
 -------------- HUMOR -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- DIVEST -------------- 
 

 -------------- GUILT-FREE GROWTH -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- PRIORITIES -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- SLAP IN THE FACE -------------- 
 

 -------------- TRAVELERS --------------
 
 
 Something Travelers would appreciate.
 
 -------------- DO THE TRIVIAL WORK! --------------
 

 -------------- HELP BENEFITS -------------- 

 
 -------------- FOR THE BETTER -------------- 


...But if it ain't a change for the better,
rethink your contribution...
 
 -------------- KNOW YOUR TOOLS -------------- 
 

 -------------- FILED UNDER: FALSE WITNESS -------------- 
 
 
-------------- INSANE EXPECTATIONS -------------- 
 
 
-------------- WHEAT FROM CHAFF -------------- 
 
 
 -------------- BUILD THAT BRIGHTER FUTURE! -------------- 
 

One of the most interesting aspects of sharing your opinion is the winnowing that occurs within: 
 
a) those who relate to it so well that they thank you for sharing it, take positive steps toward using it to improve their lives (and that of others) and improve themselves and the world as a result; and 
 
b) those who get so distressed by it that they are driven to dismiss it and in the course of building cases against you, they draw further attention to all the good you convey to those who seek Further Light for all the right reason. 
 
Either way it's a win-win-win, and it's also a lot of fun playing the inadvertent catalyst toward Betterment for those who desire Improvement within themselves! 
 
Build on my Brothers. The future looks Brighter every day!  
 
 -------------- END -------------- 
  
 Be Well and Travel Light!
