-------------- FRUSTRATION --------------

Frustration occurs

-------------- AWARENESS --------------

At first, I thought I was alone...

I didn't realize how many Brothers speak the same truth,
think the same thoughts, feel the same mix of emotions,
sing the same tunes and stand as tall.

That changed once I began to talk,

think, feel, sing and stand

on my own.

And as I did,

we saw each other,

standing tall together.
We heard each other.
We felt each other's presence.
We were in harmony in all our dearly held truths.

I realized all too soon that I was never alone;

I was simply unaware.

-------------- SOPHROSYNE --------------

Sophrosyne (Greek: σωφροσύνη)

is an ancient Greek concept of an ideal
of excellence of character and soundness of mind,
which when combined in one well-balanced individual
leads to other qualities,
such as temperance, moderation, prudence,
and self-control.

Example:

When you're not a Sophrosyne
As you Pass to Fellow,
You Haven't Done the Work
of The Previous Degree!
