Random Building Thoughts - 2021-12-07

 

 -------------- INSPIRE! -------------- 
 

"The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires. "

~ William A. Ward

-------------- PREMATURE --------------

 Religious and Political talk
is proscribed from Lodges
because Lodges are training grounds
for eventual serious study of Theology and Philosophy,
the non-profane forms of Religion and Politics.

The proscription is imposed
not because such talk causes problems;
it is because such talk is premature
and hence a superfluity!  

 -------------- HISTORY --------------

 

 “A zeal for different opinions
concerning religion, concerning government,
and many other points,
as well of speculation as of practice;
an attachment to different leaders ambitiously
contending for pre-eminence and power;
or to persons of other descriptions
whose fortunes have been interesting
to the human passions,
have, in turn, divided mankind into parties,
inflamed them with mutual animosity,
and rendered them much more disposed
to vex and oppress each
other than to co-operate for their common good”

-- James Madison, The Federalist #10, November 22, 1787

  -------------- BOURNE --------------

 Tomorrow's Bourne once Passed
Brings Into Being Today.
You cannot live in anything but the Moment,
but this Reality should not
Proscribe Thoughts for Tomorrow. 

  -------------- TOMORROW --------------

 
re: tomorrow is a allusion that never comes.... 
 
The Word "tomorrow" is a label placed upon an event in a long chain of events created by a realization of the association between the rotation of the earth and the light of the sun and is denoted loosely in divisions called "days". The demarcation is used to describe when one day ends and another starts. Its purpose is to assist with time management.

Tomorrow becomes today once this bourne is crossed and it does indeed "come". If you doubt this in any way, look up the etymology of the word "become" and you get: 
 
BECOME
 
1) begin to be.
2) grow to be; turn into.
3) qualify or be accepted as; acquire the status of.
4) happen to.
 
Origin: Old English becuman "happen, come about," also "meet with, arrive,"
 
Tomorrow BECOMES Today and when it does, it comes into being; once this occurs and the bourne has passed, a new Tomorrow is then "bourne" again and the cycle repeats itself endlessly.
 
Semantically, it's a lot of fun to play with words, but let's not fool ourselves into actually thinking play is the reality the words were intended to denote. When words are used to describe a changing reality, locking into the word's meaning a non-change is something that transforms and abuses the word's original intent and meaning.

-------------- HUMOR --------------


I'll not sugar coat this! 
If you've not studied the
seven liberal arts and sciences,
you'll never get square humor.

-------------- ENEMY OF JUSTICE --------------

-------------- SHADY BROTHERS --------------

The Reaction of some Brothers to Light
is to put on Shades.
Don't let these Shady Characters
Blind you too!

-------------- GRASP --------------

You Shall Not Truly Know
the Mysteries
Until You have Fully Grasped
the Masteries Required.

-------------- THOUGHTFUL CARE --------------

 

Do you use the same Thoughtful Care
in Choices and Decisions dealing with Your Life
as you do with those Affecting the Lives
of your Potential Brothers?

-------------- REMEMBER! -------------- 


 -------------- PSYCHE & SYMBOL --------------  


 Worth Viewing!

-------------- ABILITY --------------  


-------------- HYPOCRISY -------------- 

 
Organizations Highly Espousing Morality
while supporting laws Proscribing Accountability
for infractions of its laws is not Irony;
that's Hypocrisy.

-------------- THE INDIVIDUAL --------------

 
I can SOOOO Relate!!!

-------------- TEASE --------------  

  The purpose of Adam's creation
is assumed by many to be to serve God
However, the Bible does not agree
with this conclusion.
